Not the worst Hack N' Slash you'll ever play
User Rating: 7 | Viking: Battle for Asgard PS3
Viking: Battle for Asgard came recommended from a user in a union I'm in. Went to Gamestop, on the used shelf for $15.00 so, why not. You play as a strong Viking picked by a vengeful Viking God to take out one of her "rival Gods". The controls are fairly easy to work, with no major flaws. Combat is your standard hack and slash fare with the occasional spell thrown in for good measure. The best thing about combat is sometimes your fighting multiple enemies, sometimes thousands. Never playing any MMO's it was a real treat to start one of the many city battles for the first time and see thousands of enemies as I had to make my way to the various shaman's and finally bosses you had to take out to sack the city. Viking takes place on three main "worlds/cities", each with towns, camps, and beaches to explore. There is quite a bit of running around to do, but warp points make this a bit less tedious. All in all the game has a good level of difficulty and should take 15-30 hours depending on the speed at which you play thru. Replay value is nil, so if you buy it, get it at a discounted price, and if you can you should be pleasantly surprised at this underrated game.
