An impressive game that provides one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve had in a while, producing some of the goriest bloodbaths featured in a game to date.

The battles stumble thanks to chug, the worlds get repetitive, and when you're not really interested in the story or your ultimate goal, hack-and-slash gets on your nerves no matter how many times you cut a guy in two.

Viking's a decent game, thanks to over the top combat moves and a sprawling fantasy world, but its lack of drama and a few design issues make it inferior to Sony's exquisite "God of War" franchise.

Viking: Battle for Asgard es una oda al exceso y a la brutalidad del acero sobre el hueso. Desarrollado por Creative Assembly, el estudio detrás de la saga Total War, el juego traslada esa experiencia en la gestión de ejércitos a un título de acción en tercera persona que destaca por su escala masiva. Aquí no luchas solo contra un puñado de enemigos en un callejón; aquí participas en asedios épicos donde cientos de soldados chocan en pantalla, creando una sensación de caos bélico que pocos juegos de su generación lograron replicar con tanta **** sistema de combate es pesado, sangriento y deliberadamente visceral. Skarin, el protagonista, se siente como una fuerza de la naturaleza cuya misión es mutilar a la Legión de Hel de las formas más gráficas posibles. A medida que liberas las islas de Midgard, el ciclo de juego —basado en explorar, cumplir pequeñas misiones de rescate y culminar en una batalla a gran escala— resulta enormemente satisfactorio. El momento en que llamas a tus dragones para que bombardeen las líneas enemigas mientras tú cargas hacia el corazón del asedio es, sencillamente, uno de los puntos álgidos de la acción de los años **** embargo, fuera de estas colosales batallas, el juego puede sentirse un poco vacío. Los momentos de exploración entre misiones carecen de la densidad de otros mundos abiertos y el sistema de plataformas es algo tosco. Pero Viking no engaña a nadie: su objetivo es ofrecerte la fantasía definitiva de un guerrero nórdico liderando una horda hacia el Valhalla, y en eso cumple con creces. Con una dirección artística que captura la belleza gélida de los paisajes escandinavos y una banda sonora que subraya cada decapitación, es un título de culto que compensa su falta de sutileza con una ambición técnica y una crudeza admirables.

Viking: Battle for Asgard is most likely the most average game I've ever played back when I had a 360. It just existed, I cant really remember any details about the game or story but I do remember finishing it so it's still more than I can say for Spyro Enter the Dragonfly

Sadly one of them more repetitive games you can play on the Xbox. I hope this could be one of those games where you watch a video and listen to a podcast just something to do with your hands, but sadly it was not really interesting enough to even be dat. The combat is really slow and clunky it is working, but it's not really that fun to move the character and the world is kind of boring it most of all feels like a test demo for how many characters taking on the screen at once.

Easy to manage hot keys, intuitive controls, a great map that doubles as an objective outline...everything here is spot on. [Apr 2008, p.55]

In spite of its somewhat repetitive rhythm, Viking manages to offer to the player a great sense of accomplishment. It keeps us moving forward with the promise (always fulfilled) of some epic action sequences. The combat system is the result of a well balanced act between depth and accessibility. [Apr 2008]

Just been replaying this in 2021 and I still love **** combat feels fresh and original. Its not one of the 3 types we see in every modern game, Souls, batman or Assasins , it it's own style and it very satisfying. There is a learning curve and if you die , it's your **** world is haunting and beautifully,. The Vikings feel like Vikings and not like Californians larping as Vikings like in AC Valhalla. Even with orcs and Dragons it feels more authentic, especially without the cringe screeching of wahmen on the front lines, a place no intelligent or worthwhile woman ends up.

This game is a Great game which I have put many hours into. This game was a early game to the 360 but has remained one of my favourite's.This was one of the first hack and slash games that I ever played. Everything just fits well together, playing as a Viking. The Gameplay is sometimes a bit slow and the controls can get lumpy, the game sometimes glitches during big battles but apart from this the game is great if you like allot of blood and guts, and taking out allot of enemy's at a time.

Viking: Battle of Asgard is a great game for what it wants to accomplish.

As entertaining as the game is, it's abundantly clear that things could have been a whole lot better.

There may be a good game in there somewhere, but it falls into a standard hack-and-slash rut of boring and uninspired gameplay that leaves you wanting more from the experience.

Viking: Battle for Asgard falls too far below the benchmark set by those that have gone before.

Viking: "Battle for Asgard", provide us a great experience. We are the star of many epic battles against entire armies and we are also the victim of many ambushes if we are not careful running around the map. there's a huge map to explore in a hack n' slash sandbox with many secondary missions. The fighting system is good, a few combos at the beginning but many of them at the end by an upgrading menu for our protagonist. Maybe the controls respond lately sometimes, making the game kinda' stressful in some cases. We use stealth in some places so this game requires more than just pressing buttons, needs strategy. The game is epic at most of its parts but we cannot accept great battles instead **** history. The history has many plot holes and is barely complete. SEGA could made something better than this with this theme of vikings and gods. Maybe in a future someone will take this idea to a better game. 8/10 is my opinion, taking in count that this is a 2008 game that I've played in the first Xbox 360 generation.

This game was awful. I've played a lot of games in my time but this one still stands out as a useless pile of dung. Buggy, terrible story, no fluidity to the gameplay at all. The only redeeming quality, as with too many games these days, was the graphics. Otherwise just keep your money in your pocket
SummaryViking: Battle For Asgard takes players to the world of Norse Gods, where the Goddess Hel in all her fury, has raised an army of demonic warriors sent to enslave the mortal realm of Midgard and ultimately provoke Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle that will destroy even the Gods themselves. Play as Skarin, a powerful yet flawed Viking war... Read More
