Rune for Windows

Pros: graphics , story line
Cons: hard to master

****NOTE PLAYED WITH VOODOO5 5500 AGP****

Imagine being a young Viking warrior just coming of age. Your father ready to start you along the path of your final rites of manhood. The atmosphere is tense at a time like this and all eyes are...

Pros: Some amazing graphics, very quick load times between levels, cool and vast array of weapons
Cons: It's wasted on a very boring DieByTheSword-wannabe that is 95% swimming/jumping, 5% boring combat

Holy Repetitive Jumping Puzzles!!! I don’t know how a game that places you in the boots of a Viking warrior carving up enemies with huge battle axes while letting out massive war cries could NOT be fun, but believe me, Rune is not fun. When a game that...

Pros: decent graphics, sounds
Cons: areas too long and levels too repetitive, game play too repetitive, feels like they pushed the game out instead of putting the finishing details that could have made it great.

Rune is a third person over the shoulder hack and slash game using the Unreal Tournament Engine. You play Ragnar, a Viking warrior on his quest for vengeance and to save all of Midgard from the the wraith of Loki.

Graphics:

Pretty...

Pros: Fast learning curve, action and graphics pull you into the story.
Cons: Weak AI, hefty patch required (what game doesn't).

If you happen to be one of those newbie gamers who wants to get right into the action and mix it up this is the game for you. As Ragnar you will fight the dark minions of Loki and save your people from the gathering army of goblins, snowbeasts, dwarves...

Pros: Hack and slash at its best!
Cons: acrobatic manuvering required.

This is a review of RUNE, which is a third-person action-adventure game from Human Head and Gathering of Developers, based in the Age of Vikings and warriors. Very little is known about the Vikings, which were a group of nomadic tribes originating from...

Pros: Nice graphics, sound, animation
Cons: Boring

Go ahead and get ready to kick me, because I don't much care for this new game called Rune. I love medieval anything - from movies and games to costumes and weapons. Any game where I can use a sword or giant battle axe to hack my opponent is one that I...

Pros: models, taunts, maps, weapons, some servers have humble players
Cons: I can't buy it for myself! some steep requirements for net play

Like some other unfortunate gamers, I haven't had the chance to purchase the game, but was lucky enough to try it on a net game at a friend's house and LAN at school. I just thought it would be another shoot 'em up with only close range weapons (like...

Pros: Challenging maps; fun to play
Cons: Gets repetitive after some time

Rune is a third-person perspective game (like Tomb Raider) based on Viking mythology. You are Ragnar, a Viking warrior in search of revenge.

I've bought this game mainly because we don't have a whole lot of third-person games (especially if...

Pros: good graphics, good animation, good atmosphere, original to play a viking...
Cons: too few kinds of enemy, good graphic card required sometimes, nothing really new...

Have you ever wanted to slaughter your neighbour because he makes too much noise? How about your boss who gives you useless tasks to do? Before you do and then get send to jail, try RUNE!!!

For the first time in the 3D gaming, you have the...

Pros: Viking concept is novel, controls similar to Unreal, etc
Cons: BORING, dull, graphics mediocre, and it's boring

There are already better reviews out there, but I wanted to bring down the score of this game a bit, lest people actually spend good money on it.

In a word, boring.

I will admit, I didn't make it very far. Maybe it gets better....

Pros: Graphics are nice looking. DID YOU KNOW IT USES THE UNREAL ENGINE!?!1one
Cons: Boring, long, and frustrating. Nobody plays online either.

I will admit, I got this game for $2 at a "going out of business" sale at my local game store. And that is exactly how much this game is worth to me, $2. Graphics: The graphics look nice, and they will run on any system. This game uses the Unreal ...

Pros: Excellent graphics, music, superior sound
Cons: Sparsely populated servers

If you enjoy first person shooters such as Quake or Unreal Tournament, and enjoy multiplayer gaming, this could be a great one for you.

Rune is quite intriguing in the multiplayer arena. There are a number of very cool maps and great...

Pros: Enthralling Storyline, amazingly fun multiplayer, great graphics
Cons: Learning curve

From the moment I saw the ads for this game, I knew I had to have it. A keen interest in vikings and a growing sense of boredom with shooting things endlessly made this a perfectly timed game. Gone are the days of near invincibility where the...

Pros: Graphics, Story Line
Cons: Too short for some

Rune is a great game. It has all of the essentials that a game needs, it has great graphics. The weapons selection is OK, there are only about 13 I would like for there to have been more, I also thought that a lot of the weapons were the same, but that’s...

Pros: SOO MUCH FUN!! Great Multiplayer Great Fighting
Cons: Weak Single Player, Not Original

I saw Rune for the first time at www.happypuppy.com (fastest dl around.. i go at 400 k/s) but anyway, I read the description and looked at the screen shots, and soon after, awed by the graphics i dl it. The demo was incredible!! You get a good taste...
