Are the other reviewers crazy?

Strengths: Variety of gameplay, additional moves

Weakness: Last boss battle!! (you've been warned)

With the exception of the last boss battle (which really, really sucks), I loved this game. In addition the hack & slash others have mentioned there are elements of exploration, stealth, strategy and a number of moves that you learn as the game goes on (and actually use to great effect unlike many games). I guess it could be played straight through as a hack & slash, but then you miss out on the...

Viking

Strengths: fast and fun gameplay

Weakness: repetitive

I never enjoyed hack-n-slash games as I always felt they get boring after a few hours of play. The Viking concept was different so I gave the game a shot. After 9 hours or so of button mashing the game was over. The game gets very repetitive and there is really nothing exciting that happens. If you are mildly interested in this game I suggest a rental.

Tough to be a Viking

Strengths: +Size of battles (looks epic) +Graphics +Gore/Blood +Decent length

Weakness: -Repetition -Sound/Music -Not much to explore -Lack of variety -Story -Camera -Generic Villains

Viking: Battle for Asgard looks impressive in the screenshots, but looks can be deceiving. In Battle for Asgard players assume the role of Skarin. Skarin has the task of freeing his comrades from the enemies and then fighting the enemies, rinse and repeat. The size of the lands Skarin explores is massive. The large-scale battles certainly felt epic. Graphics look good, especially in those...

Viking: Battle For Asgard (Xbox 360)

Strengths: Addictive gameplay, good voice acting, enjoyable action

Weakness: Some graphical issues, repetitive gameplay

Viking: Battle For Asgard is a hack-and-slash action game set in Norse times, playing as Skarin the Viking. The gameplay is pure hack-and-slash, dispatching wave after wave of enemies with a simple button press or two. The voice acting is well done, though the sounds and music are a bit on the weaker side. The game looks good, though there's occasional issues with graphical hiccups. The gameplay...

Viking: Battle For Asgard

For me it always seems that Vikings have been overlooked when it comes to gaming. I know there have been plenty of games featuring Vikings but the number of titles focused primarily on Vikings exclusively just seems small. Well now we get an action game that centers upon Norse mythology and all the bloody, brutal legends to go along with it. Viking focuses on the story of Skarin and his battle...
