Gamers Temple: Viking: Battle For Asgard Review

Gamers Temple writes: "Viking: Battle for Asgard is one of those games that seems filled with potentially good ideas, but that can't quite seem to get it all to come together. Here you have a game about Viking warriors set in an open world with bloody God of War inspired battles with demons and the ability to lead your fellow warriors into battle. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it? So what went wrong?

Let's start with the open world gameplay. There are several island areas in the game with a variety of Nordic landscapes and features. Open worlds are great, but you need to fill them with something interesting. Outside of the quest locations and an occasional bag of gold lying out in the open there's a whole lot of nothing out there. Even if you wanted to go for a stroll just to take in all of the sights your going can be frustrating at times because there are plenty of "you can't get there from here" moments along the way. This can be frustrating when you're quite close to your next objective and the path your on starts curving away from it in the wrong direction. Luckily the game has a pretty good portal system to help you hop around the map quickly, but you need to reach each portal by foot to activate it first." (PS3, Viking: Battle for Asgard, Xbox 360) 67/100
