This review is from: Beowulf: The Game (Video Game)

I originally bought this game because of its price and because I really liked Beowulf the movie. I was actually really surprised when I started playing the game. It starts off with giant sea serpents that you have to fight and that is a great way to start the game. It shows you a glimpse of what is to come. From there, the game just got more fun. This is a nice hack em up kind of game. The graphics are decent, but not like most PS3 games like Uncharted or Motorstorm. The gameplay is fun, but some of the puzzles can be confusing at times.

All in all, this is a great game and for only $20, you got nothing to lose. If you liked the movie, you will like this game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, January 6, 2008

This review is from: Beowulf: The Game (Video Game)

The only reason I picked up this game was because of the $19.99 price tag and the need for some hack 'n slash before God of War 3 (and chains of Olympus) comes out. Beowulf is not a bad game, but it's certainly not a very innovative title. The graphics are on par with a good PS2 game. Some of the controls are a little awkward. Learning the combos is easy (pretty simple button mashing). Beowulf is capable of fighting with "carnal fury", which is a state where he becomes very powerful and can inflict intense damage for a period of time. He can also give commands to his Thanes (army of buddies). The games uses contextual button presses during boss battles and certain sequences. That can be a little frustrating at times. If you don't time your button presses just right, you either die or have to start over. It seems to me that Ubisoft tried to rush this game out to coincide with the release of the film, and it shows. It needs more polish, but what do you expect for $19.99?

This review is from: Beowulf: The Game (Video Game)

I bought this game from amazon for about 17 bucks. It was my 2nd ps3 game and it was a great deal. The graphics are not spectacular, people got that right, but the gameplay is really fun and it is a decent slash game. The only part i disliked was the really repetitive mission where you are in mother grendel's lair and you need to refuse her sexual "come-ons." That was really annoying, playing that part 3 or 4 times in one run through isnt too cool. Other than that its a great game and there is alot of hacking if you are into that kind of stuff. I recommend it for a cheap game and also for quite a bit of fun.
