An adaptation of Robert Zemeckis's film, a violent beat-them-up extending Beowulf's tale beyond the epic. Heavy combat and an unruly camera, uneven staging. For curious players of forgotten tie-ins.

Description
Third-person beat 'em up adapted from Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf film. Published by Ubisoft and developed by Ubisoft Tiwak, released in November 2007 in Europe, Korea and the United States. Brutal axe and sword combat, carnage rage gauge, two-player co-op mode and recreations of film set pieces. Western multilingual edition.
A licensed game from Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf film, a production timed to the cinema release and without real legacy, in its Korean edition. The local version is its only particularity, distributed on a small scale in the feature's wake. Its collector interest stays thin and owes to the status as a regional adaptation of a film more than to any lasting play value.
