X-play: Viking: Battle for Asgard Review

X-play reviews Viking: Battle for Asgard.

[TheExecutive]

someone should inform x-play that it is out on the ps3 too... i mean sheesh they even used some footage from the ps3 version.

[sonarus]

was just going to say the same thing. I mean looks like the ps3 is becoming an after thought in reviewers minds as well. LOL what a way to show bias.

[Asurastrike]

lol they gave Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII a 2 and they give this game a 4? They have lost all credibility with me.

[Grim Visage]

agreed, they can kiss my @$$. i hate their show, knew they were going to bs me on the crisis core review. they should make toilet paper products so when i take a $hit, i can wipe my @$$ using adam's and morgan's face!!!!!

[pwnmaster3000]

x in x-play means xbot, i mean foreal look at that they are trying to make the 360 line up big by making multi games "EXCLUSIVE". they do know is coming for ps3 to right. so my conclusion here is either there dumb or xbot

[Asurastrike]

lol I just realized. They said it was coming to Xbox, and they have PS3 footage sprinkled throughout.

[zakupilot256]

WTF? Didnt metion ps3and gave it a higher score then Crisis core? RIGHT THEN!!!!!!!! X-Play is no longer ( as if it ever was ) a vaild game review source. I love viking but its like a 3/5 while Crisis Core should have gotten the 4/5.

[zakupilot256]

agreed.

[Jon Cage]

How dare they not once mention the PS3. Let us all rise up in a blog hissy fit. This is the final proof that Microsoft has paid off X-play and maybe even G4TV. Because we all know that they are a bunch of 360 loving fools. No way do they have any journalistic integrity. Death to all that oppose the one true console.

[TheExecutive]

lol smartas$... but to talk about journalistic integrity and not even know what systems its coming out for then yeah it seems like a half-baked program, which it is. Their competence is beyond reproachable

[gEnKiE]

I'm done with XPlay...after seeing their review of FFVII:CC, I have no respect for them. It seems their new show is all about Halo 3 cheats and aweful interviews.... G4 has ruined everything that was good about TechTV, even XPlay.

[KidMakeshift]

I've played through the first 2 islands and I'm completely burnt out on it. It's the same freakin thing over and over and over (the same trees, hills, grass, huts, ships, wood fences/boxes, enemies/allies, stiff and canned animations recycled x a million). Seriously, the game doesn't even feel finished (missing audio/sound effects, enemies teleporting if too close to a cliff's edge, combat is limited and weak with little satisfaction, horrible ally A.I. the main character really needs to learn how to run)

I'd give the game a C- (2/5 crap) because the game wallows in mediocrity

What the F Play (publisher brown nosers) and X-play?

[peksi]

FINALLY some company realized this: when you slice thru a person with a big sword the person gets hurt accordingly: he gets sliced in two!

I'm so fed up with this arcade "tap the hit button" style when all you see is a battle animation, sword swinging, sparks flying and enemys healt points decrease. Bring on the physics to the fights aswell!

[Bust Nak]

Won't comment on the x-play or their review of Crisis Core. But Viking is a quality game. Don't let your petty x-play hate or CC love get in the way of trying Viking.

[Darkfiber]

Just because you jpop kiddies cream your panties over anything that has to do with FF7 doesn't mean Crisis Core is the best thing ever.

[lodossrage]

It's the fact that crisis core is an EXCELLENT game that they decided to pretty much defame. While at the same time a game like Vikings Battle for Asgard, which is probably a tad better than average gets a good score.

And they used ps3 video to promote the 360 version.

Still wanna say g4 isn't biased folks?
It should be pretty evident at this point.

[BLuKhaos]

They give this piece of crap GOW ripoff a 4/5 but gave both Dark Sector and Crisis Core:Final Fantasy 7 a 2/5. It seems like even GS is a more credible source of Reviews than X-play. But at least they gave RSV 2 a 4/5.

[The gaming GOD]

X-Play has shown what they are all about long ago(along with the rest of G4). But that's just ridiculous using ps3 footage to say a game is on 360 without even mentioning the ps3 version.

[CNIVEK]

Not sure what some of you are smoking, but that was 100% 360 footage in the review. Since when does the PS3 controller have "A", "B", and solid blue "X" face buttons???? Idiots. :o

[The gaming GOD]

not ALL you idiot.

Second, ever heard of the open zone? You might wanna try it sometime two-bubble bandit.

[CNIVEK]

I pointed out that they were WRONG, because it's 100% (which means ALL) 360 footage. Care to point out to me which segments are PS3 footage? I'll save you the trouble...NONE of it. And don't pretend to lecture me on the "zones"; I was RESPONDING to comments that were fanboyish in nature, and replied to them in kind. Capiche?

[The gaming GOD]

You have eyes, use them.

Second, don't lecture you one "zones"? Why don't you look at the wording you used BEFORE you ACT like you don't need lecturing.

Capiche? :)

[CaptainHowdy]

But THIS is not in ANY caliber better than Crisis Core. I believe theirs a malfunctioning fanboy @ ye old G4 headquarters.

[Bust Nak]

They might have underrated CC but Viking is definitly worthy of a 4/5.

[bofuknjanglez]

LOL i tried telling u guys about g4s M$ biasedness you can obviuosly tell who writes most of there checks and pays the light bills around there. its the reason i stopped watching the tools, OLIVIA MUNN is the only reason to watch it and i hope someone from G4 READS THIS THE ONLY REASON MEN WATCH YOUR SHOW IS THE COUPLE OF HOTTIES U GOT WORKING FOR YOU....LOL G4 blows and wishes it could gets some real ratings lol its funny to u shoulda seen them when they did the death of hd-dvd show it was sad and apologetic and they even downplayed blu-ray to the bitter end must suck to be a noob and waste money on failed formats KEVIN PERRA man what a TOOL someone should feed that kid i mean LOLOLOL every woman on the show is LARGERS THAN HIM .

[Percy]

I wish that no more articles from any of g4 would be allowed on the site the only thing it does is get their site more hits and makes them think that gamers care what they say. everyone knows they sold out and i dont mean 360 vs ps3 i mean that they are not a tech/gaming network anymore they are a stupid pop culture network. How are we suppose to believe reviews from a network that thinks we enjoy cops and cheaters. If they can't guess what shows we like how can they know what games we would.
