    This game was awful. I've played a lot of games in my time but this one still stands out as a useless pile of dung. Buggy, terrible story, no fluidity to the gameplay at all. The only redeeming quality, as with too many games these days, was the graphics. Otherwise just keep your money in your pocket

    Sadly one of them more repetitive games you can play on the Xbox. I hope this could be one of those games where you watch a video and listen to a podcast just something to do with your hands, but sadly it was not really interesting enough to even be dat.

    The combat is really slow and clunky it is working, but it's not really that fun to move the character and the world is kind of boring    Sadly one of them more repetitive games you can play on the Xbox.

    An impressive game that provides one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve had in a while, producing some of the goriest bloodbaths featured in a game to date.

    The battles stumble thanks to chug, the worlds get repetitive, and when you're not really interested in the story or your ultimate goal, hack-and-slash gets on your nerves no matter how many times you cut a guy in two.

    Viking's a decent game, thanks to over the top combat moves and a sprawling fantasy world, but its lack of drama and a few design issues make it inferior to Sony's exquisite "God of War" franchise.
