Product Description
A fierce struggle is taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods, as the goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate, Hel has raised an army of resurrected Viking warriors to wipe out all of humanity in the mortal realm of Midgard, as she seeks to bring about Ragnarok -- the apocalyptic battle that that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves. The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin, a promising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favor with the Gods. Subtly influence the battle through targeted assassination and sabotage, or wade in to save stricken allies

 Great Game! September 13, 2008
The Red Dragon (Grass Valley, CA)
Viking is an awesome game! I just finished it after playing on and off over the past 3 months. It is a long game, maybe about 20-30 hours of play if you explore the entire area of each map.It reminded me of the Two Towers combined with Diablo.
The Two Towers had a huge battle were you fought many enemies but this game takes that concept to another level. Viking pulls off the big battle scenario nicely. Once you learn how to operate your guy, getting through the big battles is tough but not hard.
Another good feature about the game is that when you die, you respawn at the towns leystone and you can continue were you left off. Everytime you accomplish something in the game, it autosaves, which is really nice because if you die right after discovering something new, it's still on your map when you re-spam.
It's a great game and well worth the price of $15-$20.

What a great game! I have not had this much fun with a game in a while! I usually don't play games from franchises that I'm not already familiar with, but I really took an interest in this game. I've put many hours into it, and I can say that I'm fully satisfied!
Beautiful, lush, and lively environments, filled with tons of warriors, are at the forefront of this games attractions. The ocean is the coolest I've EVER seen in a video game! The graphics really are amazing, as well as the character interaction, quest advancement, and game depth.
I highly recommend Sega's new masterpiece, Viking!!!
5 stars, thumbs up!!

Currently playing this one for my xbox elite, and I must say it's not bad. I pretty much got to master the blocking and striking when heavily surrounded by enemies. I learned a lot of killer new moves and specials. Not many people will enjoy this game due to the difficult factor when facing multiple foes. But man if you like challenges in a fighting game this game has alot when in battle, oh did I mention it;s pretty too!
 Great now that the price has dropped! June 10, 2008

I held off on getting this game because I saw all of the reviews that suggested this was a very middle of the road game. And for sixty bucks, it is very middle of the road, maybe even terrible.
But for THIRTY bucks now....
Storyline - fair to slightly above average. You go through different islands and clear different areas based on what you learn along the way. You collect gold to get upgrades on everything from maps to weapons. I'm a fan of the viking period in history, so I found myself more interested in the story than I probably should have been. It does get rather repetitive. It does get rather repetitive.
Difficulty - game is easy to learn and to play. Maybe too easy. You run around and use combo's to slay enemies. And I do mean slay them.
Graphics - not too bad. Kills are VERY gory. Probably the only reason for the "M" rating is the quantity of blood and limbs that are thrown around with finishing moves. The AI is not very good, if you run out of eyesight of enemies, they forget you exist most of the time. I didn't care very much for the cutscenes between major battles.
Overall - I'm glad I bought and played it. I'm probably not going to finish the game, and I've put about 12 to 15 hours into it, but am very rapidly losing interest. At thirty bucks I feel like I got my money's worth.
Hope you found my review helpful!

FRANCISCO CARDENAS (CELAYA, GTO MEXICO)
If you like games were you get to kill everyone in sight this game is for you, the history of the game is very good, and the battle moves are great, not to many to do, but great, the only reason that I did not gave it 5 stars is becase you have to check often your map to se what it is taht you have to do in order to advance, other than that this game is a must have, especially if you like games like GOD OF WAR.
ENJOY!!!!!!
