  • Spartan Total Warrior was better

  • But still, awesome.

  • This game could have been better. :)

  • games like this bring a smile on my face. I love the idea of going on seperate adventures like this after playing with friends on a bigger game like halo

  • one of the best game that i have ever played

  • looks like a great game and its extremly cheap

  • so its free roam ?

  • @josepasillas530 yeah, basically it is.

  • i really enjoy this game, it may have issues, like only two weapons, no armor, repetitive, but is enjoyable

  • @popis3493 Yea I agree this game is a very fun hack n slash! Great combat, character animations are smooth and organic. Tons of brutality and blood. The stealthy gameplay areas are a nice break from the head on combat. Wonderful looking environment; free roaming, large, earthy, fun to explore. Can't swim, but you can climb and jump. Well worth checking out if you are in the mood for a sword play action game on PS3. Biggest downer is the sound. Sparse music and sound effects.

  • @Halkalooki yes, the most importan, is simple! you don t have to choose a race, 10 hours of tutorials, upgrading, it just begin, and play, when I m in the mooth for a mediaval sword game, i play this, because i jus star a new game and begin to kill, thah simple, and is awesome the gore, attacking from secretly from behind, i hate dying in the war parts, but i enjoy this game, and that are games for, to be enjoyable,

  • Does this game have PS3 trophies?

  • @WuzUpWitYa if you listened you would know, he says that finding some things are for achievements and are totally useless on the playstation, so no trophies ;p

  • @WuzUpWitYa This came out before Trophies were compulsory on all retail games :/

  • is this worth to buy ?? can u play multiplayer?

  • @chride87 rent. one playthrough was enough. good for achievements though (xbox 360)

  • better then ign

  • I don't like the fact that the hero doesn't look viking at all, if vikings look cool why change them

  • this looks like a scandinavian god of war

  • this is a fantastic review i must say they addressed everything that i was curious about in this game

  • im thinking bout getting this tomorrow for $10 at family video if i don't get the 2nd disc for odst

  • this game had much potential.

  • was this game good?

  • anyone read the book The Sea of Trolls.... yeah this is the adjacent video game

  • Haha "You can't argue that Two dragons Are better than one."

  • I picked this up for £7 well worth it, sure it isnt as good as one of the major leading games like the hit call of duty series but i definetly reccomend this game for 3rd person fighting lovers and lovers of historical games that can actually keep you intrested as well as keeping an intresting story line ;)

  • Is this game actually worth buying? im not too sure

  • @jay270486 Definetly

  • @jay270486 very!!

  • This one definately had potential and it was alot of fun for a shuvelware title.

  • it seems kind of like a more rpg version of god of war

  • i really enjoy this game, fightiing style is not slow like rpg games or quick and unrealistic like god of war, is normal and very fluid, more realistic, but i don t understand why vikings traped in the bones and wood cells canot liberate thme selfs, the have swords, can t the just cut the wood of the cell door entrance as Skarin does?

  • I thought this game was awesome

  • Just had to check this review out becouse I'm Norwegian:P

  • This game is so underrated. I'll take this game over all 3 God of War games combined. God of War games are much shorter then this, way more cheesy and are just straight up corrider crawling linear. WHile this game IS linear, it's much less so then God of War games. Sure from a technical standpoint God of War may ahve superior combat, but I found GoW combat to be silly and for kids to think they are touigh where as the combat in this game is just brutal, if not slightly simple. 8.5/10

  • @IMRavnos i would never argue gow or viking to be great games. but gow i think had a better story, graphics and frame rate. whilst i loved the huge battles in viking i couldn't help but notice bad fram rates that had time had the potential of ruining the experience. it comes down to taste, whilst i think gow and viking are almost equal on a level of game play albeit less repetition in gow, i think the themes and concept are where these two games are decided upon

  • i like it but if i did not repeat its self so much it would have been better but in my opinon they should try making a second one and put more time and money in to it

  • game sux balls

  • Yeah; I'm for Mongol warriors.

  • sigh... why did it have to portray lame godesses? Where was odin to smack freya for being a stupid, and I feel loki would have had better ideas for causing havoc than his depressed (and supposed to be hideously ugly) daughter. and if its titled "battle for asgard" why are you a living human on midgard? what the heck??? the gore is realistic to vikings and such, though. Gameplay looks amazing but, if its based on my favorite mythology, it needs a kickass plot to get my attention.

  • the lips move in the xbox version

  • i bet if they revamped this game and improved stuff like the travel and clumsiness in fighting it would turn out better. plus upgrade weapons and armor and use multiple ones like in God of War. sure, the game would have the same elements, but it'd still be fun to play. and that's all that matters.

  • This game was awesome and this review made me wanna get it again its been a few years now so should be really cheap

  • For a game like this it's very important to have gear and weapons that change the characters appearance. And the weapons ain't the same, just because they are both, lets say, swords or hammers. Like a Diablo game. And a deep combat system like Ninja Gaiden.

  • How's the framerate doing large battles?

  • SWEET game! \m/

  • Prove your viking manliness.. hahahhaha XDDDD

    Man, I'm getting this because of that line. :p

  • @gameraltair SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY !!!

  • @RandomG1619 You shut the fuck up you fucking indian fag you dont even have any videos uploded you just comment cus you dont have a fucking life!!

  • Buying this!

  • ps3 rulez!!!!

  • All the xbox 360 fans raise your hands cus u can't move your console without a disc scratch fags. O o o yeah.

  • ¡¡¡Ps3 ps3 ps3!!!!!!

  • so yeah you could can and should expect more of the ps3 besides who wants the efin rrod, the ps3 is a fudging computer and lots of add ons for your games, wireless Internet 120 GB dangz right + blue Ray discs holy bajesus!! O and tell Microsoft to stop trying to copy the ps3 slim xbox 360 will never be slimmer then da ps3. Thumbs up ps3!!

  • This is da 1st part Well I'll put it easy for u xbox 360 fanboys Microsoft doesn't even come with a control charger that sucks A hole, the ps3 has free Internet, u can download free movies online, save music and there's tons of cool games like metal gear solid 4, little big planet, killzone 2,uncharted 2,infamous,god of war 3, and heavy rain + home(not just silly little avatars) etc. Well for almost all the games that I just mentioned they have a sequel Or a 2nd game coming out soon.

  • And also, the combat offers moves all from stealth attacks, shield crushing attacks, quick assassin kill attacks, and special spellcasting.

  • Personally I really enjoyed this game. I mean it's a very good game for its genre imo. The negative parts are the repetetiveness of fighting, which involved either normal enemies with swords, archers, shielded enemies, caster, assassin, champions and the massive trolls. The moves were decent imo, cause they all served different purposes, and some were better, and more useful. Story wise not that great, but it worth the money and time.

    PS: In xbox 360 the lips move 0o, I'm playing it right now..

  • I just finished reading the first Eragon book, and the battle was bad ass in it. So yeah, I'm ready for a game that goes brave heart style, long battles, and tons and tons of bad guys to kill at once. I mean like, "holy shit, that's a lot of bad guys to kill" type of game is what I'm looking for. So would this be it?

  • It needs assassins Creeds comabt sytem with counters and finishers... this game just didnt have enough moves

  • Get The Crusaders: Kingdom under fire.

    Much better game if you're after a game like this. Intense sword fighting game play, special move, LOADS of different units, armies, strategy as you can change posistion, of cavalry, ogres, dragons, etc, etc, and when you feel you've set them up right, you can jump into your hero and start slashing away. Do it.

  • I loved this game! im so sad i traded it in, i gotta try and find it again.

  • this game was a dissapointment. so many techincal faults but it was fun

  • Can you free play in this?

  • Finished the game and I didn't like it. The game's repetitive, the fighting is clumsy and slow. Don't wanna spoil too much but the final boss and the ending were both disappointing. The massive armies were impressive but lose their touch when you get to the final battle. You don't get new kinds of troops that would really refresh your interest in the game. This game could have been so much more...

  • it needs a huge comeback like assassins creed did

  • Bought it 1 hour ago for only 10 euros!

  • i wish i was a real viking back in the 1300's and 1400's... i am actually scandinavian so.. fuck yeah!

  • @FredThaSlayer

    Norwegian, fuck yeah

  • @FredThaSlayer I know how you feel about this subject. Norway FTW.

  • @Smithers486 im from norway =D

  • @FredThaSlayer u probs wanna go a bit early than that for the real viking experience, like 800 or so

  • @FredThaSlayer the vikings rule scandinavia in the 900's and 1000's i think

  • @FredThaSlayer your proud of what they did? wtf

  • @FredThaSlayer cool i like ikea

  • @FredThaSlayer Men vikingarna härjade ju på 100 talet och 1000 talet. inte 1100-1200 talet.

  • @FredThaSlayer haha im scandinavian too but i think vikings are lame.

  • @FredThaSlayer good for you...

  • @FredThaSlayer  oh.. youre scandinavian where are you from?? cuz im from scandinavia too

  • @FredThaSlayer Weren't the vikings mainly from the 700's to about 1000's when they were defeated by England if i'm not mistaken... But i'm definitely sure they weren't really around in the 1300's and 1400's

  • @FredThaSlayer I think the eraliest vikings history ranged from early 500BC to to 1000 AD

  • @FredThaSlayer The Viking age was from 729 A.D.-1100 A.D.

  • @FredThaSlayer

    lol your ancestors are probably vikings :P

    you can tell if you are a descendant of a viking by looking at your blood/DNA and apparently i am :D even though i am english and live in the uk! lol they raided far and wide haha

  • @FredThaSlayer vikings lived earlyer

  • @FredThaSlayer their were no vikings then, they lived around year 800-1000.

  • @FredThaSlayer Norwegian Swedish or danish. Im norwegian we have Harald. Swedes have beowulf. Danes have well uh. Grendel?

  • @zoidberg96913 wasn't Beowulf Dane after all, sorry I' clueless in Scandinavian geography hahaha

  • @Dagsschiller Um no he came from geatland I believe. Someone correct me if im wrong. Southern part of sweden

  • @zoidberg96913 you are right, hahaha sorry, told you my Escandinavian geography was messedup

  • this game is $10 used now. i think im finally gonna get it.

  • ok so I bought it. it was acctually $12.99 USD in store. I guess 9.99 was an online price for gamestop. Im looking forward to playing this. here we go =)

  • I played it. beat the first island out of 3. sadly I have had enough. and im gonna exchange it =( it is pretty repetitive. not just the combat and enemies, but also your directives. Its also not as open world as I hoped it would be. and npc dailog is not tree branched. ((you cannot talk back))). This game could have been great. but is sadly out dated now. if only this game had more fallout 3 elements or oblivion type of things. :::::sigh::::::

  • @EbayFigureReviews777 Dude, if you want a game with fallout 3 or oblivion elements, then viking was TOTALLY the wrong direction to head to. Viking is a hack'n slash with some RPG elements, while Fallout 3/Oblivion are more RPG than anything else. They get kinda boring to play because you spend so much time managing your inventory and skills that it gets kinda boring for me personally, but still great games. Viking is supposed to be fighting, not talking.

  • Comment removed

  • i think this is the problem with the game...

    its just the kind of game u gotta like or u dun like it at all.

  • Been playing this game for the last 3 days. Got it from NewEgg for 10 bucks.

    Game has me pretty addicted, unlike Dragon Age which I set down after a half dozen hours. Lopping off limbs and heads doesn't get old. Game deserves an "8" at the least. Hidden gem here.

  • lol viking manlieness

  • this game is underrated!

  • I've not even played it but it looks as if it's not worth even bothering to buy.

    I mean, who the fuck wants to play as a shaved viking? The majestic, huge beards are a major part in what makes a viking!

    Also, his limbs are a bit too fat. Plus why the fuck has he got his hair in a ponytail?! He looks like a fucking whimp!

  • Although I like the fantasy in the game, (like to fight ogres and various other monsters instead of humans), the dragons are a bit too much. It looks like a version of LotR with those dragons flying around. That pretty much destroys the epic fights.

    And last but not least; what the fuck kind of viking sneaks?! That's like the opposite of being a viking! In with the berserks instead!

    3/10 before playing it.

  • hhmmm i see... so because your character in the game doesnt look great the game is suddenly not worth buying!!

  • ummm probably because thats how they dressed back in the day dumb ass....havent you ever seen bravehart

  • @F1ngret Vikings really did not have large beards historically. It was another thing for the enemy to grab onto in a battle.

  • ya man, who cares about gameplay if the animation on the main character is slightly off, right?

  • this is one of those games that if your bored, and just want to play a really fun game.. this game does have some boring repetitive stuff. but its a really good game with lots of gameplay.

  • i've run through this game and i tell ye, you're gonna love the Hel fight ;P at first, kinda annoying with mobs and fire, but it's an awesome boss fight :D glhf

  • game is only 10 bucks now ''new'' at gamestop

  • @ItsKnucklez the game is really cool .......but without mounts or something to move faster....that sucks

  • are the other good MASSIVE NUMBER troops thingy games that are good?

  • I plan on getting this, Too human and Mass effect for my 360. This seems fun

  • I had a freakin' blast with this game... Really want a sequal where they expand on all areas of the original.

  • i thought this game sucked but its actually pretty cool looking i might pick it up thanks for makin this review

  • i hate people who moan about graphics like say gta 4's are great but so are saints row's because its what they were aiming for same with this game.

  • thats the shit thing about games like this and conan and a score of other games... repetition!!!!! Game developers must be the laziest fucks imaginable... Give us something worth our money for a change. I hope this game floped.

  • dude i agree that games get repetative alot but do you know how hard and how long it takes to make a game id like to see you try

  • fuk off m8.. Maybe they need to spend a bit more time on them and not making them suck balls.

  • nope that would be to easy

  • "Her emissary of earthly ass kicking" lol

  • How many times have you posted here PSGaming? Get a life cocksucker

  • go play what console you fucking what stop bitching and all fucking grow up.

    it is a pointless *war*

  • It not pointless, it's clearly that ps3 is better than xbox 360 in most aspect of gaming, video, music, and entertainment.

  • actually no the only thing that the ps3 has that is better is a blueray player but thats also quite useless u got a hdtv and its almost the same but ps does have a hardrive that can be replaced by other ones unlike the xbox which has a custom one needed id say there equally matched and it depends on personal prefurence (forgive my spelling)

  • Yeah, i might have gotten a 360 if my hate for microsoft didn't interfere...there such a bad company, there hardware just flat out sucks.

  • i feaking agree with u on that. they're only in for the money. so is sony but they do give a great service

  • this game is brilliant :) I hope they make a sequel

  • you don't live in the us do you? If you do, learn to use your English. BITCH

  • 1. WTF, ps3 have exclusive too. And they doesn't suck. And plus in the future we will have a lot more exclusive than u guys. Go check on google

    2. Get your self out of youtube and go to google and type in "xbox 360 failure rates" it will say 54 percent also type in "ps3 failure rate" it will say less than 1 percent you asshole get the facts strait.

    3. Alrite, Killzone 2 graphic is far more better than GOW 2. GO to google and search that also.

    4. WTF

  • you cant belive everything u read on the internet

  • 1. Xbox 360 got better games because it is out longer. And yes PS3 have better exclusive.

    2. Xbox 360 have 33 % failure rate while PS3 have 3%

    3. PS3 got better graphic. And if you want proves, compare Killzome 2 to one of your xbox 360 games.

    4. What the fuck are you talking about.

  • somebody needs to get laid ^^^^^^

  • don't fucking reply to a comment that is older than your great grandpa, oh i'm sorry i ment............ i mean 1 week.

  • hahahaa thats because its true

    and im pretty sure my great grandad is older than a week

  • What if......................

  • wow

    just do the world a favour get laid and get a life

    especially with the name of playstation gaming

  • Why don't you just STFU..... And are you really a sniper??? dumdass crackhead

  • yeah i am i sniped your mom last night haha

    she fucking loved it

  • you can't even hold a fucking sniping gun. HAHA!!! DO me a favor go back to your mom, stick the barrel up her ass n fire. BAMMMMM!!!

  • haaaaaaaaa already done it your mom cocked it and locked it and trust me i hit the target

    BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

  • oh woow what a biter, get your owned stuff u dumbshit, plus did you get medical treatment for your mom's ass?

  • oh no i copied you and i hit a nerve just like i did to your mom and why would my mom need medical treatment for her arse is that because you wished she was a man and vaginas scare you

  • Your "Exclusives" are Boring and suck. IMO

    No the Xbox 360 doesn't have a "33%" failure rate. i have had mine for 3 years and its in fine condition. Learn how to spell too btw.

  • ah yes the grafics ARE comparable look at fallout and oblivion along with other games like darkness and jericho

  • Can Tell Your A 360 Fanboy Get A Life.

  • @WelshDazzle Can tell your a PS3 fanboy, get a life. We don't need fanboys here. Respect all systems.

  • Normally I argue in the console war but this was just patethic... you and the ps3 fanboy...

  • "the game asks you to hammer the button like a maniac to prove your viking manlyness" lol

    Great review

  • i hate fanboys, for fuck sake guys, both consoles are great, both have pros and both have cons, you've made your choice, you're not changing anyones mind by argueing so dont bother, play the console YOU enjoy and shut the fuck up

  • i agree why cant people just play whatever they want and stop being a complete dick to whoever likes a different console

  • yes the ps3 console IS better..but personally i like the graphics as much as the 360 but the 360 has better games..the price doesn't matter..altough 600 dollars was allittlebit overboard..it 400 now as everyone knows..games cost like 60 euros play for a week and you ant a new one so it doesnt matter..conclusion the 360 has better online and games..but its a good thing to have both consoles..

  • ps3 is better but its definitely not worth it, its almost twice as much as a 360 and for nothing extra, xbox wont break as long as you take care of it hmmm go figure, 360 has more games that are better like halo and fable, and graphics dont really matter as long as you're not playing as a stick figure, the only thing that ps3 has that is worth it is free online play.

  • lucky 4 me i got my backwards compatible ps3 for $200 DOLLARS EARLIER THIS YEAR!

  • ok i will finish the argument ps3 lasts longer and is way way better atleasts u dont need batteries for your remote control beat that and the graphics for ps3 pwn 360's anydays the games way way betta on ps3 and ps3's got a tv just for it IT IS MASSIVE and sweet so copp that 360 yah skanks

  • ok... sooooo.. I'll assume you've never heard of such titles as forza motorsport or fable then?

    two xbox only games which have their sequels on the 360, and those 2 sequels alone, are more than enough reason to get a 360.. so far I've yet to see a single game (except for inFamous maybe) on the ps3 that'd make it worth buying the console.. and a ps3 only tv? what's the point? -.-

  • Ignore the idiotic PS3 ONLY t.v. statement by him.

    Two games?

    Forza-Gran Turismo, go ahead, start saying on how forza is somehow better, their both the exact same thing.

    Fable once again was hyped beyond belief only to dissapoint like the first fable did.

    Thanks for not even looking at the other big ps3 games like killzone or uncharted, you even ignored resistance and ratchet and clank

  • sorry to say, but forza is way better than GT..

    personally I loved fable 1 and I'm getting fable 2 next week.. I used to love my old ps2, but there just werent good enough games to keep me playing.. so I got me a xbox instead.. and I still play with my original huge ass xbox quite often.. I loved GT & r&t on the ps2, but I prefer car games.. thus, the xbox wins.. forza is just simply magnificient..

  • LMFAO, PS3 has better exclusives NOW like it or not, once killzone 2 came out it pretty much went uphill, along with many others like INFAMOUS, should i note that grand theft auto 5 will be ps3 only?...but then again the 360 has halo 3, gears 2, and soon to come SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION....OVERALL PS3 WINS, i own both consoles so i can say that!

  • wheres your proof of gta 5 being exclusive? rockstar hasnt even started talking about gta 5 yet, and when it does come out its gonna be multiplatform. gta 4 sold extremely well on 360 and rockstar arent just gonna ignore the multi millions a 360 or pc version is gonna make them, its buisness, rockstar are smart and they know they can make three times the money by releasing multiplatform than just releasing on ps3. and they arent getting any funding from sony, so multiplatform is a given

  • Calm down kid, its in the air

  • @stan254

    Yea i agree with TaSManiaC88. 360 has better games, As so it wins my vote.. Imma just get that instead of Ps3. Thanks for the help.

  • @Famoustars1386 I see ps3 as better for hundreds of reasons. Here's an easy one, what games are there to look forward too after halo reach comes out for 360? Fable 3? I really really liked fable 1, 2 was just a disgrace and I read 3 won't even have regular rpg elements like exp points or health bars because retards complained it was too complicated, not to mention the game looks exactly like fable 2 graphically...

  • @stan254 go watch some fallout 3 gameplay and gears of war 3 because ps3 cheapos like u piss me off and think ps3 is so great when youve never had xbox live.

    ive had a ps3 before and gave it away cuase it sucks

  • and ive had 360 and live and hated it so i got a ps3/ some people enjoy each other more, now stop this stupid fanboy war

  • @stan254

    Like i said, thanks for helping me decide to get a 360.

  • Comment removed

  • @stan254 i agree that fable 3 looks like fable 2 but i also think it was good. sorry i just saw that this conversation was 2 months ago. fml

  • @PSfallout3 It was fun in it's own way but compared to 1...I don't think I even can compare it.

  • @stan254 yea one was better, sweet armor

  • @Famoustars1386 ps3 has good games too i perfer 360 but they some good games on ps3 too

  • @Famoustars1386 I just watched this review on my PS3 web broweser. 360 cant do that!

  • @LuckySchaeffer

    Whats the point in having a web browser that sucks. if you could simply use your computer? Lol I mean thats why you have internet in the first place for a Pc. Its totally pointless to have a piece of shit web browser.

  • @Famoustars1386 The web browser kicks ass.. like i said, i just watched this video on here. Im also replying to your dumb comment on my PS3... while you have to stop playing your 360, see if your dads done wacking off o
