Product Description
A fierce struggle is taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods, as the goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate, Hel has raised an army of resurrected Viking warriors to wipe out all of humanity in the mortal realm of Midgard, as she seeks to bring about Ragnarok -- the apocalyptic battle that that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves. 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. Subtly influence the battle through targeted assassination and sabotage, or wade in to save stricken allies

 Off with their heads! December 19, 2008
M. Seyam (Orlando,FL)
I like Nordic mythology in my death metal and in my games. Ever since the Lost Vikings came out I think Vikings have had a welcome place in the Videogame world(looking at Odin from FF). If only the same welcome was extended for Viking: Battle for Asgard. It was welcomed with bad reviews and almost a "Haze" like rejection. No demo in sight and very little push on the advertising front even made it tougher for this game to get any sort of good publicity.
One thing I can publicly proclaim is that Viking is all about action and rolling heads..heads rolling on the floor after you decapitated them that is. This game is completely gory yet tactical. You can use your run-and-hack tactics here only to be mobbed and will be sent back to the drawing board upon death. You are actually allowed to upgrade your move-list and strategize accordingly. The game takes place on three large and beautiful islands all infested with demons or The Horde as they are called in Viking. The main goal of each island is to upgrade your repitoire and army. You do this by taking on various assault like missions and rescuing captured vikings. One complaint by other players with Viking was the reptitive nature of the missions and combat. This I do realize but is something I forgot mid-combat quickly. The AI of The Horde isn't special but they attack in numbers and don't like seeing their brethern being deformed before their eyes by your lighting-fast sword slashes. You stick with a Sword and Axe combo through out the game but like I explained earlier you can upgrade yourself with new moves the further you get in Viking. Your inventory isn't particularly FF7-huge but you can freely roam each island collecting items like Mead to gain gold. The game isn't too short or very long but its worth its price in weight; meaning if your buying it now rather than upon launch your getting your monies worth. Can't complain about the visuals either they are nice(espeically the distant seas).

good hack and slasher game, sweet graphics, gameplay a little repative but still really cool. 3 huge islands with a ton of levels & stuff to do, awesome slow-motion melee attacks that really make the game fun to play.
 Bravo Sega!! September 18, 2008

What a great game! I have not had this much fun with a game in a while! I usually don't play games from franchises that I'm not already familiar with, but I really took an interest in this game. I've put many hours into it, and I can say that I'm fully satisfied!
Beautiful, lush, and lively environments, filled with tons of warriors, are at the forefront of this games attractions. The ocean is the coolest I've EVER seen in a video game! The graphics really are amazing, as well as the character interaction, quest advancement, and game depth.
I highly recommend Sega's new masterpiece, Viking!!!
5 stars, thumbs up!!
Great Game! September 13, 2008

Viking is an awesome game! I just finished it after playing on and off over the past 3 months. It is a long game, maybe about 20-30 hours of play if you explore the entire area of each map.It reminded me of the Two Towers combined with Diablo.
The Two Towers had a huge battle were you fought many enemies but this game takes that concept to another level. Viking pulls off the big battle scenario nicely. Once you learn how to operate your guy, getting through the big battles is tough but not hard.
Another good feature about the game is that when you die, you respawn at the towns leystone and you can continue were you left off. Everytime you accomplish something in the game, it autosaves, which is really nice because if you die right after discovering something new, it's still on your map when you re-spam.
It's a great game and well worth the price of $15-$20.
Underrated Game! August 22, 2008

With a glitchy overblown frustrating game like Assassin's Creed gettin all the accolades, it's no wonder games like Viking get overlooked. I rented this game with low expectations, but alas, it's really cool. The graphics are not Call Of Duty 4 amazing but they are quite good. The voice acting is decent and the game is fairly easy to get the hang of after a while. The open world is full of color and magic and you can get from one place to another fairly quickly. Also it has really cool finish off kills. Gory as hell. I am having much more fun with Viking after about 4 hours of gameplay than I did with 2 of Assassin's Creed. That damn game is overhyped. Check out Viking.
