A pretty game with fun combat that is missing just a few key components
User Rating: 7 | Viking: Battle for Asgard PS3
Viking: battle for Asgard is first off a very good looking game. The visuals impressed me right off the bat and continued to excited through out the game. Also, I found the combat to be extremely responsive and satisfying, which is crucial due to the fact that you will be fighting though out most of the game. If you love blood and gore, this game will also appeal to you. There are some key problems that bring this game down though. Any music in the background is basicly absent, which really makes it boring to travel thoughout the world. It may be pretty, but you have to do a lot of walking, and it gets kind of depressing with no music. Also, the story is very bland and just doesn't give you a large push to continue to play.
Even with it's lack of music and bland story, viking is a fun game and a good experience for all those hack n' slashers in need of a quick fix.
