Manufacturer's Description
The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin a promising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favor with the Gods...
Skarin is an uncompromising force, a play-thing of the Gods rebelling against their selfish agenda in a whirlwind clash of flash and steel set against the back-drop of a rich Viking culture and mythology.
Percussive moment of impact combat, savage and brutal, Vikings combat is a range fuelled meat grinder directed by the player; fusing over-the-top dismemberment with disturbing realism by displaying the gore-soaked real nature of close combat in detail. Transitions in real time from small scale skirmishes to mass battles, become on amongst many and turn the tide in favour of your kinsman.
Customer Reviews
Not Brilliant
I bought this game after seeing the trailer - I was hoping that at last a good game was available for the PS3 (Most games I have played on the PS3 thus far have not done the platform justice) and I was yet again let down by this game and the PS3. The game constantly crashes just when it looks like its getting interesting. I am at the point of getting rid of the PS3 and buying a 360.
Disappointing
Boring side quests, mediocre graphics (looks like its a PS2 port), and repetitive fight sequences. On the plus side, it is very satisfying chopping enemies limbs off.
It's a nice idea, having a hack and slash RPG, but this one just doesn't work.
Heavenly Sword is much more fun than this and has far more depth to the fighting (and it's only 14.99~ on pre-owned now).
DISAPPOINTMENT
Saw the trailers and thought this would be AMAZING!!!
Took it straight back the day after buying it and I enjoy mindless button bashing!!!
Slow, dull and frustrating. Thought it would have all the best bits of God of War, Champions of Norrath and Dynasty Warriors combined.
It doesn't.
It's crap.
