Pros & Cons

  • to each his own, here at gamespot, initially enjoyable, truly visceral combat, interesting premise
  • the combat gets dull, camera is horrendous, after a few hours, no multiplayer, no payoff for exploration

    Viking accomplishes what it set out to do; great battles, a beautiful world, a long story, and just the right balance of difficulty - it just missed out on the finer points. A little polish and you have a new franchise that will surely grab a large part of the gaming population's interest. Read more

    While Viking isn’t a total disappointment, the biggest problem here is a matter of the game feeling wholly and entirely unfinished. There are a number of great ideas at play here and the game itself is a wonderful idea but it just falls flat in key areas. However it’s impossible to escape the feel that this was rushed out the doors partially unfinished. This factor and the total lack of replay value seriously harm what is a fairly enjoyable experience. Read more

    is a very refreshing game, but because of its negative points no classic. Still i would recommend the game to everyone who wants to play in a full scale war. Let's hope there will be sequel and if they can get rid of the negative points, then we can talk about a classic! Read more

    The Vikings were doers, not talkers. Take this treasure, grab this woman, invade this land-no questions asked. That spirit comes across smashingly in Viking: Battle for Asgard, an unapologetic button-mashing action game that delivers a good dose of frenzied violence. Unfortunately, the repetitive combat and shallow gameplay keeps it from attaining combat perfection. Read more

    It's late at night were I live so I'll try to keep it short. Let's get down to the dance now shall we. first off there's the combat. my god can it get repetitive. There is suppose to be a fair amount of moves to learn and hack more limbs off. But there were not so many moves. And if your stuck in a big crowd then your basically kneeling begging for death. Most i have ever been able to take on was about 30. But 30 isn't much when compared to what you have to fight.... Read more

    When God Of War came out it changed 3rd person action adventures, a slew of "clones" came along, most of them mediocre. Now, Viking : Battle for Asgard at first seems like one of these games, trying to grab your attention with combo's and gruesome finishing moves, however Viking has an advantage, and that is the large battles at the end of the chapters. You go round freeing imprisoned vikings, and liberating key strategical points on the island you are currently on, once... Read more

    Plunder and pillage with Sega‘s new slasher! We have to take off our collective hat to Sega. The veteran games company has been pushing out more titles than the Easter Bunny has dropped chocolate eggs. In the last month alone Sega has delivered Sega Bass Fishing, House of the Dead , Sonic & Mario at The Olympic Games, Sega Superstars Tennis, Condemned 2 and Football Manager 2008. To name but a few. Now it presents a brand new franchise for our consideration – and a... Read more
