I just bought this game and have spent all night playing. The levels are fantastic! The creatures are WAY cool. This is an awesome game. I didn't see much advertising, so I picked it up on a whim, but I LOVE what I am seeing. You play a young Viking dude who gets to use lots of different weapons to bash skeletons and hel hounds and frost giants. VERY HOT. The controls are smooth, the frame rate is good and the sound is terrific!

rune viking warloud is a good game. It lacks AI. It dose not think like a human. Most games are smart. YOU are thown in a puzzle after the ship curshs. And it makes defaucut to now what to do.And where you are posse to go.

Yes I know I wrote already but, I also forgot to mention the loading time of this game is about 1/2 a min every time it loads. Also, It seems like each level only takes about 5 min the you can save and wait another 1/2 a min. The animation is very weak and is a bit choppy and the camra angles while swimming are even worse than if you are on land. I own 30+ video games for the PLAYSTATION 2 and 200+ video games for the PLAYSTAION 1 so, I'm not blowing smoke out of my we'll you know anyways, If you bought it and liked it well happy for you but, I was disapointed. Sad to say $50.00 is a lot of money so, I think I'll read reviews first.

I have been playing video games for many years. I was totally disappointed by this game. The graphics do not live up to the Playstation 2's capabilities. The character controls are lousy at best. You know a game is bad when the best part of it is the voice acting. When you start playing this title, the GAME makes you save your progress about every 100 feet, this gets old real fast and takes all the fun out of this "game". If you are in the market for a really good game, spend your money on Twisted Metal Black or NBA Street. RUN(E) away from this title as fast as you can.

Think 10 times b4 you buy this game...

The graphics in this game strongly reminds me of the PS 1 era. The character is hard to control.

Ok to fill an afternoon, but nothing mind-blowing.

Jack of all games is a good name, because you get jack of their games pretty fast. This game had alot of potenial. Viking legends and characters and an exciting history. The game is ok. It's alot of killing, slashing and hacking and for the most part seems to have no reason behind it. I like hack and slash games. But I like some reason for it. That's why I enjoyed the Medal of honour games. They are basiclly shoot everything but I like the missions. The character is a little tricky to control at times and if you are having trouble it will really annoy you. The sound is ok but the speech is excellent and probobly the best part of the game. The graphics are just a little clearer than the PSX so they have a long way to go. I would be wary of buying any Jack of all games titles. But maybe worth a rent.

The worst PS2 game I've played yet

Man this is the worst game I've had the misfortune of buying... I mean customer who'll buy it off me. Anyway the graphics take us back to that old PS game Akuji. While that's not all that horrible I thought I'd at least get Soulreaver graphics on a PS2 game! Also the brightness of the game is pretty low. Going in the water is horrible, you can barely make out your character! The load times are also longer than the single load time on NBA Live 2001!! Also the game seems to load at every minor junction. Just getting past the training portion I had to wait for loading about 6 times!! Finally the controls are not bad but nothing to write about, so I won't. Overall I was highly dissapointed with the game. More than I want my money back, I want those missed hours of my life back!

killing at its best

this game is one of the best games i ever played and i own just about every game there is for PS2. the one problem is that it loads/saves way to often. but that can be a good thing if you think about it. because what if you got realy far on a game and then for some reason you fall and die. than the game puts you back to the place were you last saved and you have to do it all over again. that really.... and i think that i speak for every one when i say that repeating the same thing over again can get boring

so thats why i gave it a 5 stare rating

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!

Bad but ok

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
