Viking: Battle for Asgard Reviews
Xbox 360 Achievements – Audio – 90%
The audio featured throughout Battle for Asgard is fantastic in all departments and is by far one of its strongest areas. As soon as you fire up the single player campaign and hear the deep, powerful tones of Brian Blessed, you know the game is going to be wonderfully narrated and he always delivers without fail. The accompanying music is a nice touch and adds a great sense of atmosphere to your adventure as do the characters you encounter along the way. Audio – A fantastic narration from the legendary Brian Blessed accompanied by a musical score of epic proportions. Very fitting.
Game Chronicals – Sound 8/10
Let’s give a big round of applause to the composer and what I can only imagine is a massive orchestra complete with chanting choir voices that created some of the best battle sequences in video game history. By the time the pre-battle movies were over I had my face painted blue and was ready to free Scotland or join Lancelot in the quest for the Grail. The music is as epic as the action and easily the highlight of the entire audio experience. Voice acting is limited to the artistic cutscenes, and all other in-game dialogue is text only, so break out those reading specs.
