   MindlessGames has posted a review of Rune: Halls of Valhalla, the expansion pack for Human Head Studios' third-person Viking action game, Rune. "The original Rune focused on a single-player story line. Forty-five levels of beautiful single-player play, no coop play, bare-bones multiplayer and team play with questionable net code, six mutators, seven DM maps and a level editor (modified from the buggy UnrealEd version 1). Version 1.01 unlocked many of the single-player characters for use in multiplayer. Version 1.06 added a better female multiplayer character"
Rune: Halls of Valhalla takes us in a completely different direction. There are no single-player missions (although if you install Rune and HoV in the same folder you can still play Rune’s single-player game). Instead, HoV focuses entirely on multiplayer with: New net code and weapons balance (same as 1.06 patch), Two new deathmatch modes (Arena Match and Head-Ball), All of the DM maps that came with Rune, Twenty new DM maps, including three new maps optimized for teamplay, Eight new Head-Ball maps, Nine new Arena Match maps, Sixteen new player models (or skins) including three female models (one is Jun from 1.06 patch), a dwarf, six non-cheating sark models, and at least four non-caucasian models. Entirely self-contained (Rune not required) including the Rune level editor
