Viking is the kind of game if you go into it expecting a masterpiece you are going to come away a little disappointed. However, if you go in looking to have a great time with a gory hack and slash you will be hard pressed to find disappointment.
The combat may be shallow, the story non-existent and the fetch quests tedious, but ZTGD still managed to have a blast with Sega's latest offering. If you are a fan of the genre don't hesitate to give it a whirl, everyone else will want to settle for a rental.
