Disregard the GameSpot Review

User Rating: 8 | Too Human X360
As I said in my title you really need to forget about the GameSpot Review. It almost makes you wonder if the have an agenda here. 6.5 would have been too low.
Watch the IGN Video Review instead:

As far as my review I haven't finished the game yet therefore I'll just tell you that from the moment I started playing the game I was addicted and immerse into the story, you really don't need to know about Norse mythology to get into it although you can google it if you like.

Graphics are very good, fighting with lots of enemies is a lot of fun with melee weapons, the story is original and intriguing, building up your skills, weapons, armors and looks also add to it.

I have yet to find anything that remotely justify that 5.5. I'll update the review and the score when I finish the game. But if as Gamespot says the plot gets more interesting at the end, I assume it will only get better.

UPDATE:

yes the game was fun and interesting all the way through and I hope the low rating from GS which may have affected sales is not going to prevent the release of the sequel. What a shame if that was the case! :(
