Rating:  - Rune: Viking Warlord by Rockstar Games
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...
Rating:  - Ok to fill an afternoon, but nothing mind-blowing.
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.
Rating: - OK
Pros: Incorperation of actual Norse mythology into storyline, weapons (bigger and better the further you go), challenging levels , nice long game.Cons: SLOW and numerous load/save breaks, mediocre graphics, bad guys too easy to kill. Overall I found Rune to be challenging (not the bad guys, but the levels) and it definitely gets better as you progress. The only major issue I had was the low load speeds, that really gets old.
