Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Sid Meier's Civilization V: Denmark & The Vikings DLC Pack from Firaxis and Aspyr Media. The add-on introduces the Viking civilization and a new scenario to the popular world conquering strategy title.

Here's an excerpt:

If you choose to follow the Viking civilization in your game, you will obtain the special ability called “Viking Fury”. This ability gives you extra vision as a naval unit. This may seam similar to the Polynesian civilization but it also comes with another perk which allows your ground units to pay less when moving from sea to land. So, if you want to storm the shores of a rival continent quickly, these perks will help you advance at a much faster rate.

As with many of the other civilizations you also have some special military units for overpowering your enemies. One of those being the Berserker. This replacement for the longswordsman is an excellent medieval unit on the ground and is best kept closer to home just in case a rival civilization wants to take a piece of your land. Also, an added bonus of this unit is that the amphibious upgrade is already applied. This means that fighting over a river won’t penalize you, giving you a makeshift wall of sorts against your enemies that you can break down at any time. It's an awesome ability to have which, in turn, can have devastating effects on your foes.
