    What it lacks in polish it makes up for in diversity and brutality. This is one bloody game. [Jan 2008, p.58]
  2. In this day and age, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a game based on a movie fares poorly, but for a character who has survived since 700AD, he deserves better treatment than this.
  3. You can blast through the game on the lower difficulty in less than day. You will notice the title says: Beowulf: The Game. That's to distinguish it from the ancient manuscript. I tend to think of it as a disclaimer, or quite possibly a warning.

    It's just run-of-the-mill game design. Bar the occasionally impressive combat, Beowulf doesn't have enough to make it stand out.
  5. Even a merry band of adventurous thanes can't save this quest from ruin.

    Adding this one to your collection is nothing to be blowing one's golden trumpet over, except if your movie-to-games section is begging for attention. [Feb 2008, p.55]
