Viking: Battle For Asgard 360

Picked it up cheap too recently. As a budget title its a great little time killer, though id suggest playing it in small sessions like I did as it can be a little repetitive. Oh and play on hard too as normal wont challenge you at all.

Stealth sections + especially sieges are really the highlights though, definitely a sight to behold.
 
I am playing it atm. I do not think it is to bad tbh. The combat model works - you can comfortably face 6+ enemies at anyone time on your own, and the quests keep you interested. Not sure how the game plays out but I am on the first island at the moment with about 2 more objectives and I think it will keep my attention for a while yet.

Not the best game ever but enjoyable and certainly worth it cheap imo.
 
I quite enjoyed it. Combat is solid with a nice chucky feel, it looks good and the story is competent enough. I'd certainly recommend it if you can get it cheap.
 
Was just looking for a sub-10 quid xbox 360 game to keep me busy for a few days. Managed to get the Bourne game last week for 7 quid or something, was a bargain!
 
I don't think it's a particularly bad game at all, however what REALLY kills it is HORRID sound design.

Music rarely, if ever, kicks in outside of sieges, and whole sound effects in cutscenes are absent. For example, the first time you face a Champion, he visibly roars at you....but there's no sound.

It really does detract from the game.
 
Viking is a great game! If you can pick it up cheap deffo get it! It did get a bit repetitive after a while but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommened it to my mates.
 
Its only worth a rental. I rented it out and completed it in under a week.

Once its done its one of those games you complete once really, so get it mega cheap or rent it.
 
And put aside some money for new controllers. A mate of mine (admittedly with a fairly short temper) broke two out of sheer anger on his way to finishing the game!

If you're a fairly chilled out kinda guy then you'll be fine :D
