Play Beowulf and experience the life of an epic hero, a slayer and a king, torn between the nobility and brutality within him. As Beowulf, you are a 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? 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. Powered by the next evolution of the award-winning YETI technology, the mystical world of Beowulf comes to life in stunning fashion. ESRB Rated M for Mature

Beowulf
I really wanted to like Beowulf, and I knew going into it that is would be a cheap God of War clone, and I'm fine with that. God of War is a fun game, and even though Beowulf is ripping it off, who cares, just as long as this game is fun too. And it is, most of the time. Beowulf is a mindless Hack N' Slash game that's ultra bloody and violent, how can you go wrong there? They do throw in two interesting ideas with the Carnal meter and Heroic meter. When you go Carnal, your health depletes, but you can just rip enemies to shreds, unfortunately, you can also kill your own soldiers while in this mode. In Heroic mode, you boost the attack and defense of yourself and your army. So yeah, really no need for Carnal mode. There are some cons to this game, the graphics are lacking, which is not a big deal for me, the controls can be off at times and a bit unresponsive, and there are some areas of the game which are just downright frustrating. Believe me, I let the expletives fly! But I picked the game up at Gamestop for and I don't regret it, it's good fun, and just as long as you're not expecting brilliance, you'll probably enjoy it. Good, but not at all great.
Worth
This is a great buy for tweny dollars, but not more than that. The game is a bit ridiculous, like most movie games and makes little sense at various moments throughout the story. There is a lot of button mashing; however, the graphics make up for it.
not worth it
do yourself a favor and rent this game before you decide to spend your hard earned cash on it.
Ehhh....
I went in expecting a game, and that is exactly what I got. If you just need a filler while waiting on the next blockbuster game to drop, pick up this one. You won't brag to your buddies that you got it (or they will laugh), but it isn't absolutely horrible.
Buy this game..
This is a very strong game and has very few weaknesses. Its an absolute steal at only . The game has good legnth a very good storey and is great after long hours of playing games like oblivion where you have to focus. You just run in and hack enemies to death with your inhuman abilities. The game runs around 6-8 hours. That may not seem long but you will find yourself playing sections again after beating it the first time. Its feels great tearing enemies arms off etc.
