Beowulf's better suited for books and the box office

From its longwinded narrative to its painfully paced gameplay, none of Beowulf's elements ever gel. Instead of delivering a fully-realized cohesive experience, it comes off like a cobbled-together coat tail-riding cash-in. While there's some satisfying sword-swinging to be had, it's hard to recommend based solely on that, especially when the recent Conan release offers a far better sword-and-sandal epic. If you're looking for a Beowulf fix, catch up with him at the multiplex or library, but best not bring him home to play.

You'll love
  • Combat can be fun
  • Bloody, bone-breaking animations
  • Angelina Jolie is sort of naked
You'll hate
  • Mini-game resisting fake Angelina. WTF?
  • Boring cut-scenes and VO
  • Production feels rushed and unfinished
