Manufacturer's Description

The Beowulf video game takes players deep into groundbreaking director Robert ZemeckisâEuro(TM) vision of the classic saga, Beowulf. Gamers live the life of Beowulf, the legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men who is torn between the nobility and brutality within him. Arrogant, self-serving and lustful for gold and glory, Beowulf will journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and Beowulf succumbs to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne. As King, Beowulf must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. As Beowulf, players lead their men, called thanes, into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both their kingdom and people. Only then, when Beowulf looks Destiny in the eye, will he know what kind of hero he has truly become.

âEurooeUbisoft, Paramount Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment have been working extremely close in developing Beowulf,âEuro said Gilles Matouba, creative director at Ubisoft. âEurooeFrom the very beginning, we have had an unprecedented level of access to information and assets from the movie. This access, coupled with the creative and technological abilities of our team, has allowed us to capture aspects of the film and translate them perfectly into compelling game play elements such as the visceral hand-to-hand combat, dynamic swordplay and amazing visuals, while giving us the creative liberty to go even further by creating exclusive content for the game that is unexplored by the film and even the classic tale.âEuro

âEurooeThe talented creators at Ubisoft are transforming our vision of the film into an interactive experience that extends the epic adventure far beyond its classic storyline,âEuro said Robert Zemeckis, director of Beowulf. âEurooeWeâEuro(TM)ve been thoroughly impressed with what weâEuro(TM)ve seen from the game makers and are confident that gamers will find it to be an immersive and entertaining experience that goes far beyond the traditional movie-licensed game.âEuro

Customer Reviews

This game is Underrated
Ok dont get me wrong im not saying this is the most amazing game ever but it is no way as bad as people put it out to be (NO WAY!).Dont expect a AAA title but do expect a very old school, fun, gory and laid back game.£24 is a decent price for this game.If your looking for Gears of war/Uncharted production value you wont find it here but if your looking for something that will pass time and satisfy you this game does that.If your into the old streets of rages games back on the sega megadrive you will understand the joy this game offers.Ive been playing video playing games for over 15 years and i like this game alot.Unless your a gaming snob this game is worth a try.BE OPEN MINDED! LOL CHEERS! ;-) I GIVE THIS GAME 7.6 OUT OF 10

Very, very Entertaining
I Bought this game, because I thought the movie was good and to see the result of my opinion, seeming most of the time others gave it bad reviews.

But this game is very challenging, a series of great fighting stles: Heroism, Carnal Fury etc. a very gloomy but some what fun atmosphere, the graphics were, as I would of expected, very good, but it is also quite an original game, from all the games I've played (and that's a lot!!!)non of them make the guy you're playing as have to SING!!!

I recommend (if you're over 15, if not having parental approval) to go out and give this game a go!!!

Terrible... just terrible!
Well, I didn't really liked the movie much but this game just makes it worse. The graphics and not good, the play is just horrible and there's no much sense into it. I bought it for what I thought it was a bargain 14£ at amazon but it is just too much for a game this bad! :(
