Definately worth a hack (n slash), though it could have been better. It could have been multiplayer!

Viking is definately worth picking up your PS3 controller for a while, though it does have it's rough-spots. I read another review on this game, a less than complimentary one, where the reviewer commented on the odd next-gen shine that appears to be everywhere, and I would agree with this point, having seen these odd, very dark-looking graphics in a few games now, such as Conan and Lair, and, ultimately, it just makes things plain hard to see.

Aside from that, the game is mostly fun, if a little simple for a supposedly next gen game. The lack of any really interesting combat mechanics makes kills seem to be the same over and over again, but that could have been forgiven if the game had been split-screen multiplayer, which I've no doubt the PS3 could have handled easily, since there are hundreds involved in the big battle scenes as it is.

Not sure it was worth the high price tag, but definately worth renting, or eventually picking up from a bargain bin!
