My gf bought me Beowulf for Christmas. Actually, she bought it right before we saw the movie in mid-December; so, I guess she's lucky that I actually liked the movie better than most lol When I opened it, I was initially disappointed, but I promised I'd try it out to appease her. Well, it's actually pretty fun!
It's a hack and slash; so, if you don't like that, definitely pass on it. If you like a hack and slash game though, rent it. Yes, there's a lot of mindless button mashing that might give you carpal tunnel if it doesn't make you furious first. Ironically, "carnal rage" is a key aspect of this game... That aside, the graphics are actually alright. No, they don't compete with Lair, Heavenly Sword, or COD4, but they're much better than I expected from a movie-based game.
I would never buy this game for $60, but she picked it up for $20, and I think it's worth a rent if the top games in your queue are unavailable.
