The First 10 Minutes: Viking
2008-03-21 22:00:00 by Snoopers
Sega have sent us a review code of Viking: Battle For Asgard, from the english developers of Creative Assembly. As usual, we took the time to record a lot of gameplay footage, and here comes the first thirty minutes of the game divided in three files. A fourth video will follow quickly, and will showcase the first big battle of the game, which concludes the first island of the adventure. Enjoy !
Update: Fourth part, showing the big battle right at the end of the first island (a bit less than 3 hours of play time), is up.

Not even the ending battles with the hordes of enemies are tough?

Thanks for the videos, Gamersyde. I had no interest in this game prior to seeing them as I thought it was a dull RTS when I found out it was by The Creative Assembly but, instead, it's turned out to be an action/adventure along the lines of Conan meets Fable. It looks very solid graphically with terrific art design, a good draw distance and impressive lighting effects, although the texture work doesn't stand up to close scrutiny in the cutscenes. The combat looks cool (and gory!) and it looks like there's some large scale battles as well along with platforming sections, stealthy bits and adventuring. I can't wait to play this now... :D

I was just reading the earlier comments about the site ads...
I can't help wonder if they'd make more money if they were better targetted:

Final battle are repetive after the first one. Kill 2 or 3 shamans, advance, kill 2 or 3 shamans, advance etc etc. Not challenging at all. When You die U'll just respawn.....boring.

I was thinking like "Cool, a game about vikings. I wonder if the main character is huge and has a horned helmet and a big axe". He didn't have a horned helmet, which made me a sad panda. But at least he was huge and had an axe.
But then he totally ran up to Stonehenge to refuse a guy his dinner in Valhalla because he wants to learn what Odin wanted. And I came to the conclusion...
That this shit rocks and it's totally viking!
