Obviously, today is April Fool's Day. So I was looking on Gamespot and I decided to check out the Viking: Battle for Asgard review. Well, to no surprise it recieved a 0.0/10. Now, this has to be an April Fools joke but the reviewer didnt say April Fools at the end or anything. Needless to say, we will assume it is, because no game deserves a 0/10. I just thought I'd bring this topic up, although useless as it is.

That was a glitch. It's a 5.0.

I had mixed feelings for Viking, didn't really know what to expect. Average critic score is around 7 so I guess I'll give it a try to see what the developers have done with this one.

this is absolutely ridiculous. I totally disagree with the review from Gamespot. Ive played through Viking:Battle For Asgard for the first time and I have started for the second time on hard, but i can tell you that this game is definitely NOT worth a 5.0 :( its probably worth about a 7.5 and the combat doesnt get weak after a couple of hours!! Another pro point that they didnt even mentioned up top (only that combat can amuse for a couple of hours and that portals are good for travelling :S ) is that the major battles at the end of an island are a lot of fun to play... I'm really dissapointed in this review and i hope they can do better for the next time because they just ruined the game a bit for consumer which didnt have to be this way!!! :(

Although I never played Viking: Battle for Asgard, no game deserves a lower score than Conan.. Even Conan recieved a 7.5. But Viking gets a 5.0? I wonder if the reviewer was drunk when he played Conan. :roll:

Conan felt like a better version of the Pirates of the Carribean game, so overall it wasn't good- Viking looks a whole lot better- I may pick it up anyway for a quick laugh.....though I have DW6 for that right now I guess.

Just give me DW6.
I'm not surprised at the real review. Every editiorial site is always going on about innovation and other crap, and always mark down hack n slashers.

Yea, I'm loving Dynasty Warriors 6. Loved the whole series, even if all they did each time was add one new character I'd probably buy it its that good :D

Heck yeah, I'd be playing Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper on the PC all day today, but I had to reformat a few days ago and I forgot to put my save files into my external HDD. :(

Back on topic, whut eva. I like Sega, I like the Total War series, I like Dynasty Warriors no matter how repetetive they may be, and I'm gonna get Viking sooner or later

I started ignoring gamespot reviews along time ago, their reviews are always so far from the truth.

Gamespot has been giving poor reviews lately such as army of two( deserves a 8.0), R6V2(deserves a 9.0) and now viking(deserves a 7.5).

I agree. And what happened to video reviews? Dark Sector and Viking only had written reviews. I mean, it's okay, I understand but it's odd. And the top games chart no longer sports ratings next to the games any more. It has now been replaced with release dates. Has anyone noticed? As long as we have the forums! :D

Viking is a genre based game, if you don't like the genre then you won't like the game. I love the Hack 'n Slash genre and i love this game. It is alot better then a 5/10, the reviewer is obviously not a fan of the genre.
