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!

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

I would like to use the word "awesome" to describe this game, but that would barely scratch the surface. Besides the downside of slow loading, i found this game to be intriguing in gameplay and role. If you are reading this report, then you probably already know what Rune is about. But there is also a multiplayer that my friends and I have spent countless hours on. If you're looking for a fun game that will keep you interested, buy Rune for either Ps2 or Computer.

pretty good

Firstly for those of you who have written a review and complained that there were no guns in this game... well I would just like to say a big "Durrr..." to you, lol!!

Anyways moving on, I bought this game a few months back and didn't think much of it at the time. It looked like a cool game and guess what... it turned out it was!

I don't know what the other people are going on about in there reviews about the graphics, I think that their PS2's must be broken, well either that or they need their eyes checking.

The only annoying part to the game was the loading time in-between levels... but all good things come in good time don't they?

The multiplayer part to the game is ok, although I have found that players need to have some experience of the single player part to the game in order to have a fair and lengthy battle in multiplayer mode.

Over all a fantastic game, the weapons get amazingly bigger and better as you progress through the levels. A must have game for those who like to slash, hack and bash enemies to death. Weapons range from a choice of axes, swords, hammers, maces, and even dismembered body parts of the unfortunate enemies who come across your path...

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.

I enjoyed this game very much. The ease of his movements,the graphics are awesome,the game is all around GREAT. I have played this for hours at a time just to see what would be up next. I've tried all 3 levels & have found it gets better each time. The ONLY thing I don't like is the time it takes to load. I've tried other games for PS2 but I always come back to this one. I have a PSOne,PS2,Dreamcast,& a GBAdvance with many,many games for each one, but RUNE is one of my favorites.

Varied and atmospheric

I think what many reviewers here are failing to see is the overall game design and atmosphere. For a start, the graphics are quite beautiful and ground breaking for the time of its release. There are so many differnet locations, from dungeons to lovely outdoor environments. The landscape rendering simply cannot be ignored. One area to note is an ice cavern level where the frozen floors reflect the surroundings. Simply stunning!! Plus, the variety of environments! It seems never ending!! From celtic greenery to lava flows to ice to fantasy villages with fantastic machinery. The depth is incredible and the beauty, quite breathtaking!
The story also is quite deep and invloved which keeps the player interested.
The attack mode is basic but does invlove a lot of dodging which works really well with many of the foes. Also moving the camera view creates different strategic advantages when battling with various creatures.
Rune isn't a classic but it's certainly a beautifully rendered and thoughtful little gem that can suck you in and keep you entertained for many nights. Well worth a look!

the biggest pro of this game is the concept of norse vikings and all. the scenery is real cool. the "battle" or fighting isnt complicated but not too simple. so thats ok too. the controle [is bad], graphics are ok, and the sound is great. my biggest problem is that its so easy to get lost with no freakin clue what your doing. a few hints but nothing real helpfull. the biggest challenge is to not kill yourself trying dumb sh$t to make it through the level. all and all once you find out where your going, whats going on, and make it through the loading times, its a fun game.
