Action Adventure

The legendary epic of Beowulf has fascinated readers for over 1,000 years, but you don't have to be a literature major to enjoy the Dark Ages death and destruction of Ubisoft's third-person adventure game, Beowulf. Using the CGI imagery and voice talents from the 2007 movie, "Beowulf" vividly recreates the 6th century world of the pre-Viking Scandanavians with accurate equipment and tactics. The same engine that drives "Ghost Warrior Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2" enables the game to support real-time lighting and shadowing as well as advanced weather effects.

True to their historical counterparts, the weapons in "Beowulf" run the risk of breakage during heavy use, forcing the player to grab an enemy's weapon or kill them with his bare hands. But, Beowulf does not fight alone. Gather an army of a dozen Norse warriors and order them to guard your back or join you in attacking a foe using squad-based tactics. Successfully commanding your thanes is as important as delivering the fatal stroke in ensuring victory.

Defend your people from rampaging trolls, rival thanes and cult-worshiping barbarians in addition to contending with Grendel and his mother. Enter a berzerker rage that causes massive damage or kill your foes in heroic fashion. Successfully dodge an enemy's strike and bring him down with a cinematic power attack. How you defeat your adversaries decides your legacy. Are you hero enough?

Features

Features: Play Beowulf, an epic hero tormented by desire for power and glory. A slayer and a king – torn between the nobility and brutality within him.

You are Beowulf, legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men. Arrogant, self-serving, and lustful for gold and glory, you journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and you succumb to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne. As King, you must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. Lead your thanes into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age, and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both your kingdom and your people.

Only then, when you look Destiny in the eye, will you know what kind of hero you truly are...

Delve even deeper into the adventure and play through 30 years of the Beowulf story not seen in the movie. Experience more of Beowulf's life and mold your own legacy.

Unlock an army of 4-12 thanes as you increase your heroic experience (by saving thanes, killing giant monsters, etc.).

Carnal Power allows you to use stronger attacks and special weapons such as pillars.

Give orders, assign your army's position, and tailor weapons to the situation or enemy.

Use your army to trigger mechanisms (e.g., open doors) and row Drakar.

Carnal upgrades include less daze after use and prolonged use of Carnal Fury.

Combos, parries, and skills increase as you progress.

Grab allows you to hold on to walls or climb, as well as fight in hand-to-hand combat with enemies and giant monsters.

Use legacy experience points to gain thanes, replace weapons, and upgrade your carnal abilities.

eric9 3/17/2008 7:53:35 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 2/5Lackluster Action Game Pros: Beowulf is an action game in the same vein as Prince Of Persia and a little of Devil May Cry. It tries very hard to fit the bill, but falls short. Graphics are ok, characters and moving textures are less than stellar, but the scenery is quite good. Sound is pretty good, voices and music wise. Cons: Gameplay is uninspired and repetitive, there are 16 levels, and I was bored by the 8th. I made it all the way through to the 11th, when I decided I've had enough. Once you get the hang of the gameplay, thats it. No new weapons, no new moves, its basic grinding and hack/slashing. Other Thoughts: Worth a rental, I suppose. Luckily I didnt buy this game, it's certainly not worth paying full price. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
