Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Rune: Halls of Valhalla is the official multiplayer expansion pack for the highly acclaimed PC game Rune. It offers Rune fans the chance to go online and test their mettle against players from around the world. It can be played as both a standalone multiplayer game, as well as an expansion to the original.

Two new modes (headball and arena) and additional maps, along with a multitude of new animated creatures--including three new fearsome female characters--will keep the melee going. The headball mode consists of a team-based sports game in which players rend the limbs or heads of their enemies and score points by throwing them through a goal. It's kill or be killed in the arena mode, as gamers compete in one-on-one duels against varied opponents. Similar to the original game, Rune: Halls of Valhalla will utilize an enhanced version of Epic Games's Unreal Tournament game engine and will feature amazingly lifelike animations, a detailed weapons system, and a unique combat system.

This game is one of the most interesting action games i have ever come across. The 3rd-person view is fun and quite intuitive. The weapons rule (a couple of ranged weapons could have made it a tad more fun). And the gameplay is amazing. For example, you've just smashed an enemy with a dwarven warhammer. Wanna have some fun? Pick up a leg... or an arm... or even a head. Now run up to someone and throw it at them. This won't get you points, but it will cause you and anyone else in the room to giggle like a Japanese schoolgirl. Great multiplayer fun. Just one downside: no bots to play against, so you better have a LAN or a decent internet connection.

This is hand to hand combat Unreal Tournament. Not a bad idea at all. There are no projectile weapons, but you can throw whatever you can pick up including swords, maces, heads, and limbs. There is nothing quite so satisfying as lopping off an opponent's sword arm and then using it to bludgeon him. If you think you'd like a go at all melee combat, buy this. It is a little buggy, but really not bad at all. The Unreal engine continues to provide excellent graphics and playability, even if all you've got is an old voodoo 3 graphics card like me.
