In Rune: Viking Warlord players assume the role of Ragnar the Viking; the mightiest warrior of a bygone age. In a land where might makes right, it is Ragnar who doles out justice with the blade of his massive battleaxe. His ultimate goal is to confront the Sark Amen, the shadowy warrior-masters of the netherworld.

Jack of all games is a good name, because you get jack of their games pretty fast. This game had alot of potenial. Viking legends and characters and an exciting history. The game is ok. It's alot of killing, slashing and hacking and for the most part seems to have no reason behind it. I like hack and slash games. But I like some reason for it. That's why I enjoyed the Medal of honour games. They are basiclly shoot everything but I like the missions. The character is a little tricky to control at times and if you are having trouble it will really annoy you. The sound is ok but the speech is excellent and probobly the best part of the game. The graphics are just a little clearer than the PSX so they have a long way to go. I would be wary of buying any Jack of all games titles. But maybe worth a rent.

Firstly for those of you who have written a review and complained that there were no guns in this game... well I would just like to say a big "Durrr..." to you, lol!!

Anyways moving on, I bought this game a few months back and didn't think much of it at the time. It looked like a cool game and guess what... it turned out it was!

I don't know what the other people are going on about in there reviews about the graphics, I think that their PS2's must be broken, well either that or they need their eyes checking.

The only annoying part to the game was the loading time in-between levels... but all good things come in good time don't they?

The multiplayer part to the game is ok, although I have found that players need to have some experience of the single player part to the game in order to have a fair and lengthy battle in multiplayer mode.

Over all a fantastic game, the weapons get amazingly bigger and better as you progress through the levels. A must have game for those who like to slash, hack and bash enemies to death. Weapons range from a choice of axes, swords, hammers, maces, and even dismembered body parts of the unfortunate enemies who come across your path...

5.0 out of 5 stars killing at its best, August 14, 2001

This review is from: Rune: Viking Warlord (Video Game)

this game is one of the best games i ever played and i own just about every game there is for PS2. the one problem is that it loads/saves way to often. but that can be a good thing if you think about it. because what if you got realy far on a game and then for some reason you fall and die. than the game puts you back to the place were you last saved and you have to do it all over again. that really.... and i think that i speak for every one when i say that repeating the same thing over again can get boring

so thats why i gave it a 5 stare rating
