This game was a lot of fun. Engaging as well as challenging, it keeps the player wanting more of the experience. The tiered levels of game play and objectives make the story exciting, and satisfying. The ending could use some work, as it just drops of with an anti-climactic fight. If more maneuvers were possible, game figure would be more hard-core. Also, when untying friends, why take so much time on the ropes, the guy has an axe. Problem solved. But, overall, great game. Definitely recommend.
Set in the time when the Norse Gods ruled and people hid gold in glowing urns for some inexplicable reason, Viking, the latest from SEGA and Creative Assembly, tosses you into the massive boots of Skarin, a shirtless warrior who packs a sword and battleaxe. The game opens with Skarin mortally wounded and about to take a one-way trip to Valhalla, but Freya -- Odin's daughter -- steps in to save the Schwarzenegger-like brute as long as he pledges allegiance to her and promises to go after Hel, queen of the Underworld. Skarin agrees, gets this glowing amulet from Freya, and we're off!
This is a very good game from Sega. Anyone who played Fable on the original xbox will feel at home playing this. The controls are simple and easy to get used to and the graphocs are bright and vibrant. The game is rated mature due to blood and gore and there is plenty of it. Your viking warrior can literally chop the opposition into pieces. The gameplay is easy to follow. You play Skarin, a viking brought back from the edge of death by Freya the daughter of Odin. You are tasked with liberating your many viking comrades from cages and posts put there by the undead army of Hel, Goddess of the underworld. After freeing enough vikings and satifying other requirements you can then lay the enemy stronghold in seige and attempt to takeover the place. This all plays out in giant free for all while you cut your way to the shaman or champion or giant that is your targets to taking over.Read full review
Good thing I rented this game because it is booorrrriinnnggg.I found myself playing this with my eyes closed because it's so damn repetitive.So damn repetitive.So damn repetitive.Get it yet?You walk around this tiny ass map...and trust me it is tiny freeing your fellow viking friends who are either locked up in some boney dinosaur cage or tied up to some cheap looking tree branch,which by the way looks like they can break out without any help.You use alot of the A button or X and you're constantly pressing B to either free your members,open chests,or doing some other boring job which requires you to press B. The main monster bosses aren't a challenge.A little slice and dice action and...yay another crappy key to open another crappy door for another crappy boss.It has some wannabe God of War button mashing,for example you press the button that comes onto the screen,which by the way is not that hard.I see myself pressing a certain button that pops up then constantly mashing the same button afterwards.Same button afterwards.Same button afterwards.And yet that's all you do,is use the same button afterwards.Read full review
I've spent a lot of time on this game so far, and have not been disappointed. The graphics are pretty nice, but at some points you might feel the game becoming a little repetitive. Overall though it has good graphic effects, and great game play. My only disappointment on this item is that it is not Xbox Live, but still a great game to have, and very fun to play.
