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...

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

I just bought this game and have spent all night playing. The levels are fantastic! The creatures are WAY cool. This is an awesome game. I didn't see much advertising, so I picked it up on a whim, but I LOVE what I am seeing. You play a young Viking dude who gets to use lots of different weapons to bash skeletons and hel hounds and frost giants. VERY HOT. The controls are smooth, the frame rate is good and the sound is terrific!

"Viking Warlord":an experiment full of flaws.Let me explain why.Game's story is goo:Ragnar is a future viking king and he must protect his people.Unfortunately his ship,his drakkan,gets conquered and destroyed by enemyes.Ragnar must visit many worlds and defeat a lot of enemies for return to his village.It's not so easy!He will exceed The Hell,Cold World (no,not GZA's world :D)...until the final battle.

So where are the errors?First of all,the graphic doesn't look for PS2:it's too raw and not very cured.If you thought in a Final Fantasy X style,wrong way,homiez.Second,the control:for turn you must use the R3.It's not so easy for who is abituated to move the harachter with L3.Why they didn't made "Viking Warlord"'s controls just like every game?Bah...another undo is the tendence to get high,sometimes the game doesn't start or continues.Not a great problem,but a boring.

If you want buy a good war/platform game,don't buy "Viking Warlord".If you want it in your collection,it's another story...

...I admit, the programmers did their homework and many facets of the game are right out of Norse mythology for the most part. But the fact that this game takes so freaking long to load in between levels is really annoying. Especially if you happen to get killed. I can understand a long load time if the level is massive with lots to do, but I swear I had a 2 minute load time for a level that I cleared in about 30 seconds. That wouldn't be so bad, but it happens again and again in this game. Rent this game if you must or wait for a sale, but don't pay more then [alot]for it or you'll be sorry.

ok ... lets make this really fast and straight to the point

the game itself and in total is bad

the graphics could have been better for being made for ps2 i mean is better than ps1 but they could have worked on it for a bit more

second...the controls are terrible ... it takes so long just to figure out and actually feel comfortable with your character because of how the button are configured

third...it takes forever to find out the plot and stroyline of the character

only get this game if you are desperate for a game ... but as i see it there are better games out and coming out

I cannot believe I spent the money for this game. This is a gamers worst fear to buy a game like this one. A friend told me of a Viking game on a PC that was totally awesome and said it was a must buy. He must of meant some other Viking game called Rune: Viking Warlord cause this game was awful not awesome. The loading time, the crazy controls, the lack of a descent story are all reasons to avoid this title like the black plague. I mean it - the only reason I gave it one star is cause that was the worst I could. The best thing about this title is the time it gives you while it is loading. For instance you could clean your room, walk your dog, mow the lawn, paint the house, wash your car, and even sleep in the amount of time it takes between each level. This is really an awful title. Sorry if you already bought it.

Avoid at all costs. These guys were just not up to the challenge of making a PS2 game.

I have been playing video games for many years. I was totally disappointed by this game. The graphics do not live up to the Playstation 2's capabilities. The character controls are lousy at best. You know a game is bad when the best part of it is the voice acting. When you start playing this title, the GAME makes you save your progress about every 100 feet, this gets old real fast and takes all the fun out of this "game". If you are in the market for a really good game, spend your money on Twisted Metal Black or NBA Street. RUN(E) away from this title as fast as you can.
