Ruined-Viking SAVElord

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.

I cannot believe I spent the money for this game. This is a gamers worst fear to buy a game like this one. A friend told me of a Viking game on a PC that was totally awesome and said it was a must buy. He must of meant some other Viking game called Rune: Viking Warlord cause this game was awful not awesome. The loading time, the crazy controls, the lack of a descent story are all reasons to avoid this title like the black plague. I mean it - the only reason I gave it one star is cause that was the worst I could. The best thing about this title is the time it gives you while it is loading. For instance you could clean your room, walk your dog, mow the lawn, paint the house, wash your car, and even sleep in the amount of time it takes between each level. This is really an awful title. Sorry if you already bought it.

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.

The game that should have never been

Well, as I was walking around a bestbuy, I saw this game: Rune Viking Warlord. I love Norse Methology so I thought, why not. I went to Blockbuster to rent the game and popped it into my PS2. I could not believe what I had just done. First of all, the graphics are not good. It does have some lighting effects that only a PS2 could handle, maybe, but the characters are terrible, and so is the overall appearence. This game takes forever to load, a lot of PS2 games that I have played have almost no load time, and I can see why. This game took all of the load time. It seems that for every 3 minutes of game play, there is 4 minutes of load time. The big kicker was when I had to use both analogs to turn. The left will make you go forwards and backwards and to the sides, but it is the right analog to enables you to turn. Talk about total lack of gaming technology. All in all, I would never rent this game again, let alone buy it. I will, however, recomend this game to those of you out there with a fetish for beating the most horrible games of all time. For this game is surely one of those.

THE PS2 RUNE SUCKS

Tell you what, don't think that Rune is a bad game, it is horrible for the PS2 though, because sony playstation 2 is too weak to handle the Unreal Technology...BUT, the PC and MAC versions are a lot better.
OK, why should you NOT buy the PS2 kind? Just because the frame rates are low, graphic details look extremely blurry(you might even think you need glasses, because you won't believe that the developers would actually put such graphics for the PS2), and the controls are terrifying. There is only one, very minor pro there: the game is quite long, but since the two of the most important factors of a good game are so stinking bad, it does not matter.
I RECOMMEND YOU TO BUY THE PC VERSION, WHICH I WOULD RATE 5 STARS, ...

Avoid at all costs. These guys were just not up to the challenge of making a PS2 game.

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.

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!

This game has to be the worst game I have played...ever in my life. The graphics were terrible, not anywhere near what the PS2 is capable of. Game play is very weak and boring, the blurry man viking is hard to control, and you have to save the game every 10 seconds. The load time is very slow, but not as slow as the storyline. The only good thing about this game, is that I rented it first, praise the Viking Warlord.

ha ha

Vikings.Gotta love em.Tearing mutton right off the bone sans utensils,donning ever fashionable pelt and ram horn outfits,and never letting the smell of blood leave their nostril hairs,have established Vikings to some as the ambassadors for masculinity at its mightiest.Unfortunately,RUNE VW MAKES TIM ROBBINS FROM ERIK THE VIKING LOOK LIKE THE HARDEST NORSEMAN TO SWING A BATTLE AXE.Expect to laugh out loud when enemies sprint past Ragnar{so he has to run after them},make a U-ey then decide to attack him.Or how about the annoying falling boulders,oversized carp looking for lunch,and turnstiles that remarkably cause instant death.Weapons,albeit plentiful,aen't thrilling to behold or obtain.And cheesy haunted house style ambient backdrops,as well as voiceovers that come off amateurishly pitched down,not ominously Odin-ish,make one wonder if human head's just being facetious.All in all,since it's hard to take RVW's action or adventure elements seriously,it's snooze city.Shame.Never thought Vikings could be boring.
