   Despite what critics have said about it - Viking is a fantastic game. The graphics are awesome, the controls are solid and mildy chunky but only as chunky and solid as you would expect - You ARE playing as a Viking afterall.. The sandbox you roam around in is huge and the game itself is instantlyplayable - there NO loading screens AT ALL when you are in the sandbox even if you die and respawn - no load screen. The complaints that there is slowdown is totally mistrewn the only slowdown you get is when trying to kill one of the Shamans and even then it is very minor and definitely not Game breaking. Yes the fetch quests do get repetitive but as while you are on these quests it still involves copius amounts of gratuitous violence to keep even the most hardcore Gorehounds happy. If anything at least rent the game - it would a crying shame if this new IP is some how overlooked because a Viking franchise would be fantastic. Do yourself a favour - if your unsure about this game - rent it, borrow it whatever you do - make sure you play this game.… Expand

   My guilty pleasure game. It's by no means amazing, but I could not stop playing it. Twice. Bloody, violent, viking fun. Story's a little weak, the game gets repetitive, but if you're like me and a sucker for Violent Viking action there's not much out there better than this.… Expand

   Well, I love this game. I played it for a few hours and I can say: If you love the vikings, huge battles, simple controls and a lot of hack n slay fun, then you should get VIking. + great battles + great atmosphere + for adults only - somethings it slowsdown - the graphics are not the best - the sound is not the best, too but nevertheless a really funny game, that keeps you entertaining for a few hours… Expand

   I NEED MORE TO DO !!!!! ....... Sorry, but i had to get it out of the way. Viking is a pretty good game with some nice hack n' slash gameplay but I feel Like Sega started out being really excited about this game and ended up just kicking it out the door. What is there is mostly good, cool looking characters, beautiful environment, gory violence (Hack n' Slash was a good choice, these are vikings y'know) but you need variety in the missions. Hey I love killin' as much as the next guy but it will get boring if theres nothing else to do. Also it needed a better story (better doesn't mean complicated, just something to keep your attention) and horses to ride or something 'cause Skarin's slow ass was pissing me off. Look I didn't hate it I just think Sega needed to let it marinate a little longer cause this had the potential to be a huge success. (P.S. wheres the epic music, why is it so damn quiet ?)… Expand
