this is the worst game ever! The only reason I rented this game was because it said 1-2 players, and i thought u would be on teams. The graphics really [are terrible], and the gameplay [as well]! Do not ever even think about buying it and do not even waist your money renting it.

Gameplay- 3
Graphics-3
Sound-6
Fun-2
Value-1

Doesn't compare.

This is the exact same thing as the computer version except for oh, it's not half as good. It's not nearly as fast paced, but that's because the mouse is a lot easier to move around with accuracy, and it doesn't have as many levels.

Not worth Odin's...!

It could have been a whole lot better, but I'ts a typical bash and slash, been there, done that, killed them, genoir. although I thought the gameplay was very fluid, the controls were bothersome at times, especially during close combat- in the heat of battle in confined areas the camera angles [gets messed up] the whole time! careful not to move your right thumb too much in battle which also controls camera angles. OY, VEH! and the camera angles get more difficult in under water movement! No great story line either. The eating of the Meats and drinking of Mead to replenish health is what all medieval type games should have! rather than grabbing a Heart or jumping in revitalizing pools, so a Plus point here! But read the rest of the reviews and they will list the other things i didn't mention, but I agree. Happy Leif Ericson Day!

ok ... lets make this really fast and straight to the point

the game itself and in total is bad

the graphics could have been better for being made for ps2 i mean is better than ps1 but they could have worked on it for a bit more

second...the controls are terrible ... it takes so long just to figure out and actually feel comfortable with your character because of how the button are configured

third...it takes forever to find out the plot and stroyline of the character

only get this game if you are desperate for a game ... but as i see it there are better games out and coming out

OK

Pros: Incorperation of actual Norse mythology into storyline, weapons (bigger and better the further you go), challenging levels , nice long game.

Cons: SLOW and numerous load/save breaks, mediocre graphics, bad guys too easy to kill.

Overall I found Rune to be challenging (not the bad guys, but the levels) and it definitely gets better as you progress. The only major issue I had was the low load speeds, that really gets old.

Fair game, not worth an A+

I guess this game graphic wise is decent due to when it was released but my main problem with it was the load times. Some points were pretty cheesy, like eating lizards to replenish health. The voiceovers weren't that great either but I guess they were good at the time. Another thing I didn't like was when you were in first person mode and you were using a weapon, you couldn't see it. This game is beyond being perfect in anyway but it's worth playing if you rent it or find it at a very cheap price. Don't expect too much from this because you're not going to get it.

terrible game

First of all this game is overpriced for its value. You always do the same things and there are only a few attacks. There are different weapons but they aren't much different. The only difference is that some weapons don't do much damage, some do. The attacks for each weapon looks exactly the same. This game is a waste of money. DO NOT BUY IT.

I had the misfortune of playing this game as well, and might I say I was greatly disappointed. Don't judge games by their covers. Being a pagan myself, I had high hopes for my hero Ragnar, but that R3 camera rotating to see what you were doing sucked SO much I didn't even bother finding out what OTHER aspects of the game blew.

Don't waste your money OR time on this. I'm tempted to do an "angry video game nerd" and try to get through it, but I can't see spending $2 on a used copy that isn't even worth the plastic it is printed on.

Great Game!

This is one great game, the graphics really arent that great but it is easily overlooked, do keep in mind the age of this game. The overall premise is that you die, odin brings you back to life and you must journey through Hel in order to get back to midgard. The game is completely immerced into the real and dead on Norse Mythos, this game is very different from any other game that i have ever played. to gain health you must drink mead, eat meat and lizards. all the levels are all very dark and very disturbing with everything trying to stop you from skeleton soldiers to demon vikings, this game is overall incredible, if youre into metal, and more importantly bands like Amon Amarth you will love this game!

if you buy this you just waisted 50 bucks

I cannot stress enough how horrible this game is, it was the first game I bought for PS2 and I was so dissapointed the graphics [aren't good], sound [aren't good], control [aren't good], story [aren't good], everything on this [isn't good]. If I had to say anthing good about this game it would be very hard but the closest thing to being cool on this game is that after you kill a guy you can throw its bones. This is no reason to buy the game as throwing the skull at enemies is pointless as you will miss your target every time and then pressing the wrong button results in throwing your weapon into a lava pit. this is a game that Atari could mach its capabilities with.
