Play Magazine Writes:
"There's been ample coverage of Sega's latest potential über franchise but little has been established about the game's infrastructure and overall flow. Seldom have I been so surprised by a review disc. Judging by what I'd seen prior (Sega wisely kept a tight lid on early code), I was expecting a linear action/adventure similar to Beowulf-which done right would certainly be welcome given the universe (they had me at Midgard), but I never dreamt that Viking would offer up an epic more along the lines of Fable... If this one doesn't launch a major franchise, then there's absolutely positively no justice in this world or Valhalla."
In summary:
"Fable with Vikings meets Kingdom Under Fire, only it's prettier and far better tuned than either."
Twinfinite Writes: God of War takes Kratos from the pantheon of Greek mythology to the cold lands of Norse mythology. Here are a few other games with a focus on Norse myth, if you find your interest piqued.
It's high time we get another Valkyrie Profile. I'm so ready. I can't believe we've had to wait this long and we just got a mobile game...
Can we please just get another Age of Mythology? Lost many hours of my childhood to that game!

Sega wants to give you even more free games.
but i knew Creative assembly won't disappoint !
they always make great games
there were some fools who compared this game with conan and Beowulf lol LOL!
ill wait till i see more of it i still dont know much at all, but if it is good i might pick it up :)
Yesss. I know am getting this game now. Looks awesome btw.
can you say Sleeper Hit? For little to no coverage then to a 9.5 is crazy. Well this beats Dark Sector for me, Viking it is.
I wouldn't call it a sleeper hit just yet. Play Magazine gives every game they review an 8 or higher. I'll wait for more reviews before I make any final decisions about this one and I'd greatly suggest that you all do the same.
