If mashing buttons to kill hundreds upon hundreds of enemies is all you're looking for in a game, you very possibly may enjoy Viking: Battle for Asgard. However, if you like original ideas, a story, meaningful exploration, a working camera, or fun, you'll want to take a pass on this one-way journey...

Fighting/Hack & Slash Yet more hacking and slashing on the 360. Vikings. Sure Barbarians are great, Celtic warriors are great, Native Americans are great and even Roman Gladiators are great. Vikings are greater.

is, as we've said all the way through, a simple and fairly predictable game. The story is enough to keep the gameplay ticking over without ever distracting from the gameplay and the battles themselves are fun and challenging.

There's no online or co-op about this game, thinking along those lines should be paramount in this day and age, yet it does add time and development cost to a project. What you do have is a solid singleplayer experience with brutal combat and vikings!

Viking: Battle for Asgard has been on Geek.com's radar since late last year during SEGA's Winter Wonderland . At that time, we just got to watch and admire the game. Later, at SEGA's Sweet Celebration , we got a chance to get some hands-on time with the title.
