Viking: A Total Letdown, Or Complete Success?
User Rating: 7.5 | Viking: Battle for Asgard X360
The truth is, it wasnt really either. Viking: Battle For Asgard was a game that had some ppl churning to get for awhile since its announcement. Well, the game is finally here, and after playing it I can give you some point outs about the game's pros and cons. Some of the good things about it is that Viking is a good solid hack and slash game, with astonishing graphics with the enviorments, water, trees, etc. The character models are well detailed, and at some points, you feel like your ally vikings are actually "alive." Watching their movements, a group of two vikings that I saw conversated, went, sat down and had a drink and laughed, and then after that went, drew their swords and started practicing battle with eachother. Some of the downsides however, is the lack of a good target system, where you will find yourself on top of a cliff, and you will slash foward towards an enemy, and make yourself fall of the cliff, killing yourself. This isnt a big a problem as it is annoying, because you have points that you can warp to when you find them, around the world. Another downside is that some parts make you Think. Every once in a blue moon when your not slicing ppls arms, head, legs, or bodies in half, you will be wandering around like a incompatent fool trying to find out where to go. The final thing, is there is no sprint button, which can make far distance travel slow moving. Overall, you have a good variety of skills, and areas, and things to do in the game. Its not a must-have, but if your into hack-and-slash games, this is definetly a game you would want to think about geting.
