If you want to be a Viking then you'll have to test your mettle by performing a series of difficult tasks. Vicky the Viking--The Big Trial invites you to shoot arrows and test your courage in many other ways.
Vicky has a tough overbearing father who doesn't think much of his son. On the eve of a major journey to a new land, Vicky pleads with his father for the chance to accompany him. At first his father scornfully rejects the idea as it will require a great deal of courage, perseverance and strength. But eventually he agrees that Vicky can join the rest of the crew if he demonstrates his strength and successfully completes a number of challenging tasks.
Vicky the Viking--The Big Trial is a lively title and it begins with our hero firing arrows into a colourful target. Vicky is intelligent and friendly and quickly introduces you to all the different characters in his village. The colourful Viking characters chat among themselves and you simply click to make the action continue. Vicky is led to different locations such as the edge of the sea where he has to perform a range of tasks. Each of the games is at three levels of difficulty. In the arrow contest, you click to fire arrows at moving targets. You can quickly repeat the instructions, adjust the level if you get stuck and it's easy to travel to another location.
This is an engaging and exciting title for children over four years old. Vicky talks frankly about his worries about not being able to have the courage to perform the tasks and children will be quickly drawn in to help him. This entertaining title also passes on the valuable message that brains are always more valuable than brute strength.
