A fierce struggle is taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods as the goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate Hel has raised an army of resurrected Viking warriors to wipe out all of humanity in the mortal realm of Midgard as she seeks to bring about Ragnarok -- the apocalyptic battle that that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves.

 Viking is EPIC! August 18, 2008

Viking: Battle for Asgard is an example of a great game with bad reviewers with negative opinions which are ALL false! Playing through this game is an experience in itself; from the graphics, sound, to the overall game play; all balanced, and FANTASTICALLY EPIC!
This game's graphics have to be seen to be believed. The water effects of the ocean looks real, with the surrounding forest areas even more startlingly photo realistic. I loved it all, and so will you.
The sound really drew me in from the fluttering of bird's wings, to dried leaves falling out of trees as I walked underneath, to the sound of a giant dragon as it fried the enemy with scorching flames; no other game comes close to this.
As for game play, I enjoyed the game from start to finish. Blood and gore fans take note- this game is for you! With over a dozen deadly slashing moves with swords, knifes, axes, and even one special move where you call in a dragon,Viking does it all and does it well!
Overall, Viking is an excellent game. I take my hat off to Sega for bringing such a well balanced and magically superb adventure to my little gamer fingers! Well done!!
The Bottom Line: Viking: Battle for Asgard is for fans of blood and gore. This well made game gives the player a truly epic experience that should not be missed!

Many websites will have you believe that this game is easy, and can be played through in 6 to 8 hours. However, this is a lie, and it took me (a skilled gamer) over 25 hours to complete. The graphics are easily among the best on the console (just look at the in-game screenshots that are provided by Amazon [found below the boxart on the first page]). the game does have a very simple story (that is presented more to justify the action), but this doesn't really distract from the game's overall immaculate quality, because the real treat in Viking is in its incredible swordplay and massive battles. No game haas ever attempted to create battles of the scale seen in this game. The scenery in the game looks very pretty, and there is an absolutely massive world to explore (consisting of three large islands). The game never really gets old due to its challenging missions, and the fact that the scenery changes dramatically from area to area. there are about 20 new moves and combos to learn, and each finishing move is gory and presented in slow motiion. Each successful hit and crunchy limb-removing hack feels like a truly real sword hitting flesh. The game is bruatal, beautiful and lastly, it is very unique. Each large battle wont lag a bit (oddly, some of the smaller fights can lag, although even the largest final battles dont have a single framerate hitch), and no other game has ever attempted to introduce scale even close to this. Nor has anyone ever presented a game centered around vikings. I'm looking forward to a sequal! You will not be dissappoionted. BY THE WAY, GAMESTOP OFFERS THE GAME NEW FOR $20!
what a great game July 8, 2008

i played this game from beginning to end in one sitting. 16 hours straight. it's pitch perfect. great learning curve and satisfying combat where button mashing will get you nowhere. for the first time in a long time, i was able to just sit down and complete a game all the way through without having to look on the net for a hint or walkthrough. it isn't easy, but it's not ridiculous either. way to go Creative Assembly. more like this, please.
much better than expected July 8, 2008

From what people were saying, this game was not worth the time nor the money, so like a smart person reading bad reviews, I waited to buy the game when it was $29.99 with free shipping and no tax through amazon. And I have to say it was definitly worth it. Viking is a gruesome, next-gen game, with beautiful graphics. The main character, Skarin, goes into slow motion as he hacks and slashes his way through Hel's forces, so you can see in detail blood and guts coming from limbs, decapitated heads, and guts coming out of midsection. The game on the other hand does get a little repetitive, like mario jumping on turtles and mushrooms,(yes i said it but let me clarify mario is way better but im just saying, we all get tired of repetitiveness, but we keep playing it anyway because its addictive and classic.), Viking is an excellent hack and slash game none of the less, with 15 bloody hack and slash moves that you can use at your disposel. I will consider this game a classic and it will stay in my collection (next to mario and kirby haha), And i strongly urge you to at least rent it and give it a try for yourself. COME ON what the hell is up with the vikings with no beards... there should be beer, blood, and gut chunks all up in the beard? Come on now SEGA!
Great Game! September 13, 2008

Viking is an awesome game! I just finished it after playing on and off over the past 3 months. It is a long game, maybe about 20-30 hours of play if you explore the entire area of each map.It reminded me of the Two Towers combined with Diablo.
The Two Towers had a huge battle were you fought many enemies but this game takes that concept to another level. Viking pulls off the big battle scenario nicely. Once you learn how to operate your guy, getting through the big battles is tough but not hard.
Another good feature about the game is that when you die, you respawn at the towns leystone and you can continue were you left off. Everytime you accomplish something in the game, it autosaves, which is really nice because if you die right after discovering something new, it's still on your map when you re-spam.
It's a great game and well worth the price of $15-$20.
