This is what I've been waiting for ever since I started gaming. It makes my viking Blood boil! The animations are awesome, the enviroment couldn't be scarier, the graphics, the lights... what can I say? What an adventure! Pure Fun! Never had such a great time Hack'n'Slaying the evil forces of Midgard... Wish there were more Multiplayer maps but I'm sure there'll be an update soon. Congratulations to Human Head and GodGames! Love you for this.

It is a good game however it is it good for you?

This is quite a good game, however it might not be something you enjoy.

It plays kin of like Tomb Raider, without the acrobatics, so it is kind of limited, and the enemies and puzzles are more tedious than exciting. Who cares about jellyfish, giant cockroaches and triffid plants?

It is interesting, however, and beautifully displayed - the clouds are magnificent, the scenery is great, and you will be enveloped in a Viking theme.

It is a bit disappointing to witness the Christianification of Norse mythology, however, I don't see why Loki has to be made "evil" when he was mischieveous and was symbolically another face of Odin.

Nevertheless, the game is quite good and enjoyable, you do take on an air of fearless Viking bravado, the playing style is more suited to rushing in brandishing a sword than stepping back.

It is a shame they don't make a new episode with day - to day role playing behaviour, things like going on raids, joining in a war, non-lethal brawling in a tavern, and the enemy can be cold winters, rival families, other countries ... if you added ranged weapons and a roleplaying storyline with multiple paths and a bit of empire building, (and some AI) this could be one of the greatest games ever made. The atmosphere is that good - just add some good gaming to it!

So try it out if you are interested, it certainly is fun. Mostly.

This thing is gonna rock!

When I saw the trailer for this game, I just knew I would be buying this game. It's gonna rock hard core. It has won 3 awards from its E3 2000 showing, including (but not limited to) 2 Best Action Game of Show. If you've ever had a taste for fantasy or of times when people duked it out in melee combat, then this game is probably for you!

Same old Same old

Well, this game is fun for the first 2 minutes of play. The single player is just that, single player. You will get tired of it quick. The multiplayer is where this game couldbe great but they gave us just DM. Well any of you that play FPS gaes online alot know that just DM wont cut it. The programmers where to lazy or in to much of a hurry to work on more MP game modes and decided that eventually some mod makers would do all the work for them. Whatever they did, they shortchanged the buyers of this game. Enjoy.

total mayhem...

...and love every frame of it! *hack* *slash* *head rolls* hahaha, I might change my position about how games 'cause violence in our kiddies (not). That said, I don't think you should be buying this for your kiddo for Christmas... buy it for youself and be evil for once. Graphics: puuurty and violent. But that's not what you first notice, what you will notice is the music, one of the better musical scores in games in a long while. Some people complain about the first part of the game being to repetitive... I guess at times, but once you leave the hell's domain... oh yeah! And there is that mulitplayer part of it, where you can humiliate your friends by showing off your hand-held-head-rolling weapons!

You haven't got Rune? Are you hibernating?

Simply amazing. The only single player experience to date that can give Half-Life a challenge. If you don't like single player then this game is not for you.

I saw a previous review that gave it 2 stars because the multiplayer wasn't up to his standards. Human Head said it in the past and they'll say it again and again, Rune is a single player game (one of the best at that) w/ some multiplayer.

And I thank my lucky Runes for that because it really shows in the high quality of the single player experience.

4 1/2 stars

The graphics, the sound, and the melee' weaponry, combined, give this game all the fun and excitement one can hope for. I'm generally an fps gamer. This game has gotten me into the third person mode, although, with the turn of the mouse wheel you can be in first person mode. The graphics are outstanding. The sound incredible. If your looking for action, look no further. Give this game a try, you'll be glad you did.

Highly recommended.

GREAT GAME!!!!

I Love Rune, I am a diehard FPS guy but this awesome game was a welcome change from twitchy multiplayer action, chop and jump, its that simple.. well maybe not, there are great puzzles to test your wit and hordes or vicious creatures and warriors ready to test you combat skill. Buy this game, and you will not be dissapointed.
