What a great game! The gameplay is excellent, the graphics are nothing short of stunning and the controls are smooth as a baby's powdered and pampered behind. At the listed price, you are definitely getting more than your money's worth. Stop in and grab some mead and be careful of the flying chairs.

I have played about 1/3rd of the game so far, and haven't been let down yet. The graphics are truly awesome - sometimes I stop playing just to absorb the environment. What impresses me is how tight and responsive the controls for the combat are. There is no lag - when you swing your weapon, it moves perfectly and instantly. Combining jumping with attacking also yields some impressive results. Worth the money.

Rune is awesome

Rune is an awesome game in both Single Player and MultiPlayer, but it does have some flaws.

There are too few types of creatures and they are everywhere, like the snake plants. I'd rather have had more puzzles not just hack & slash. The level design is wonderful, especially some of the floors. Except for the weapons master, and the god-like creature, none of the combats were difficult just annoying.

Multiplayer is wonderful, but seems a little laggy compared to UT. Wish there were more DM Maps or more variant mods for it like UT. But those will come, mark my words.

This is the first multiplayer game that embraces hand-to-hand combat, like Daikatana was "supposed to do". Go download the demo, try it, then come back here and buy it!

Diablo II goes 3d?

This By far is the best game I have ever played. Not only deos it have stunning graphics... but the game play is like no other.For anyone that liked: Diablo II, Dungens & Dragons, or for anyone who feals like bashing some dude's face in a fast paced multiplayer battle..... this is your game. Happy Hunting.

Rune one a lot of awards at E3 and after seeing the trailer( if you havent see it) I was so excited I was jumping around in my room. This for a lot of people has to be the most anticipated game of the year. I think it will do almost as good as Halflife. The graphics are incredible. The game uses the Unreal engine, but it has been heavily modified. When you get so close to something it looks so real you could almost touch it. Ragnar, the main character, can carry 4 different classes of weapons. He can carry swords, throwing things, axes, and hammers. This is a game I'm for shore going to get. Even thought it doesnt come out till October 31. This game will rock, anybody who likes halflife or other slashing games, should buy this game, lots of action and of course adventure. Great Game !

Bad Game

This is one of the worst games that I have played this year. I read all the previews, saw the pretty pictures, and got interested. Unfortunately, the final product is such a disappointment. I am so sick of switches or "puzzles" as you run around and jump around to look for the next exit point. I also don't want to spend my time leaping from one platform to another. Where's the fun? This is not the Olympics. In a word, lame. And the perspective makes it that more difficult. A 3D game should not have platform jumping as a major gameplay feature. In addition, the game AI is weak and unchallenging. There are instances wherein the enemy just "sits" there and you hack away, without any effort or fun. There's a online multiplayer portion to the game but I didn't purchase the game for that reason. Anyhow, as strictly a single-player experience, I'm giving the game a generous 2 out of 5.

Awesome!

Awesome single player experience and the multi-player is really cool. Nothing like going mano et mano in battle.

Awsome Game!

I had such hopes for this game. I enjoyed the demo very much, so I ran out and bought it. Bad idea. Next time, I'll learn to read some reviews from magazines first.

What sounds cooler than a viking warrior stomping around, eating live animals, and cutting the heads off his victims? Switch hunting, at least according to Gathering of Developers. I spent the vast majority of my time in Rune stumbling about a dark corridor searching for a switch or a wall to break, or just getting lost. I think it would have boosted the realism of this game if Ragnar randomly shouted out "Where the hell am I?" I was looking for joyful swordfighting fun, but spent most of my time hacking up spiders and those annoying undead ghouls who keep popping back to life. There were brief moments of mindless carnage, which I loved, but these were far outweighed by boredom.

Now I hate multiplayer in general, but I must admit that Rune's multiplayer is refreshing and entertaining for a while. Unfortunatly, there is absolutely no variety. Just strafe, rush in, swing weapon, hope you don't die.

In short, Rune could have been so much more than it was.

BORING

This game could have been so much more. The hack and slash action is not even fun, it just get's tedious and boring. I have to admit the graphic's are spectacular, but that does not make this a great game. Rune contains lot's of jumping from object to object, which will get boring after they first introduce it into the game. The game also had no depth whatsoever. I never just want to play it for fun, because I felt there almost is no fun in this game. In my opinion, if you are going to get a hack and slash action game GET BLADE OF DARKNESS.
