Gaming Age
A long, epic adventure that has a few problems here and there, but still stays entertaining.

The game’s ugliness is its major flaw, though the free-roaming nature of many of the levels can be frustrating too.

A decent game, with both good and bad points. Nothing to wait in line for though, and not one you're likely to lose sleep over.
Read Full Review >Gamezilla!
A game that looks like it could have been put out on the PlayStation, with poor controls, zero character development and below par graphics.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb Sony
A good story and simple control can't make up for a serious lack of depth, mediocre graphics, and a camera that gets more annoying as time goes on.

By Christmastime there's going to be 3D action games on PS2 that put this to shame.
Read Full Review >GamePen
If we could look past the sub par visuals and lengthy load times, I guess this could be a decent game. But if we could do that, then why did we buy a PS2 in the first place?
Read Full Review >PSX Nation
A platform and puzzle game with miniscule amounts of action through a strong storyline.

By Great Odin’s teeth, this is an average game of the most average order. Dull alsö.
Read Full Review >Core Magazine
In the end it's just a run-of-the-mill action game with few assets and lots of faults.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
It disregards almost everything about Vikings that make them interesting. Its graphics are some of the worst on the PS2, the gameplay is dull and repetitive, and its uninspired multiplayer mode adds little value.

Though I could not find a stopwatch I would say that I spent around a quarter of my time in the confines of the load screen.

It has plenty of significant flaws mixed with some excellently done gameplay elements.

Never thought Vikings could be so boring. [Oct 2001, p.148]
Game Revolution
A big disappointment, a shoddy port that suffers due to both the limitations of its new platform and its technical pitfalls.
Read Full Review >Cinescape
The side-to-side/spinning problem will plague you throughout the rest of the game, if you attempt to make it that far. Even if you manage to master the controls, I cannot see you having that much fun with this game.

Ryan M. gave it a 6:
Graphics are horrendous and storyline is dull. the camera angles are awful, but otherwise all that this game is ok. It's a predictable, average, just like all the others adventure game.

No map or directions.
