I loved the game, great graphics and good story line. It did have a few bugs, but what game doesn't? The level designs are some of the best I 've seen. Until you play the game and see the mirrored floor room and the stained glass floor you fall through, you cannot appreciate it. The locations go from under ground castles with running lava pits to open outside snowy streets. Very Cool. I would recommend the game very highly. Plus Human Head provided a great source of information on their web site at.... Download the demo then buy the full version you won't be disappointed.
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!
GREAT GAME!!!!

Now, before we begin this review lets get this straight. If you have come into this game thinking that it is like Unreal/Unreal Tournament just because it was made on the unreal engine, you are totally wrong. Now that we have that out of the way in this game you start out as a viking warrior, who is taking revenge. Smooth gameplay and special things such as Rune Power make this game one that you will be playing until you beat it one or two times. Rune also allows multi-player capabilites to increase the carnage. The overhead view of the character is that of Metal Gear Solid or Tenchi (both playstation games, Metal Gear a PC game now). Get this game if you want a keeper Good luck!
Rune is the Best! I would give it 100 stars

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 !
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!

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.
You haven't got Rune? Are you hibernating?

Players are challenged to trade old "first person shooter" tactics in for new strategies and methods of attack because the only weapons are clubs, axes, swords and shields. Rune has vivid Viking scenery and includes a version of UnreaEd (an editor) for creating new levels and modifications to guts of the game.
I'd recommend this game to any die-hard gamer.
Best Hack and Slash Multiplayer of all time

The single player is fun, perhaps the storyline leads a little to be desired, but it is still fun seeking revenge with the help of Odin.
The multiplayer, however is some excellent fun! The weapons are extrodinary, the levels are well put together, and there are a ton of new levels to download off the Internet. A friend and I have spent hours playing Rune. It's a nice change to the "shoot the rocket launcher first persons" on the market today. They really should consider a sequel that would introduce some new graphics and put a multiplayer twist to the idea of Enclave.
2 Thumbs up, if you're in for a hack/slash game this is your best bet for the PC!
