This game is outstanding! It's way more brutal than God of War and Heavenly Sword put together! The game plays very smooth , the graphics are very nice and it has more nudity than most soft core porn shows. Little kids should NOT play this game! Heads roll, limbs are sliced off, arms are sent flying into the air , blood goes everywhere and even God of War button pressing is involved. The blocking system is way better than Heavenly Sword and you have alot of moves to master. The game is just great. I hope there is a sequel to this because this was just too good of a game. Best hack and slash game of 2007, hands down.

It is true that there is not much depth to the gameplay BUT this game is still very satisfying to play. sometimes you just need to play a mindless hack and slah game which is what this game is and is good at. I really like it and would encourage everyone to stop crying and give it a chance.

This is a very enjoyable game version of the classic Conan adventure. I am still playing and the type of demons and bosses are very entertaining. When fighting you can watch decapitation and cutting off limbs. Very gory and fun.

Before I give my opinion, let me preface by saying I am a HUGE fan of Conan. I grew up reading his comics, magazines and books (John Buscema r0ckx)I've been saying for years that Conan would be a great license for a video game and was overjoyed when I heard about the game. Here's what I thought:

The game was ok. Some of the moves and combos are nice, but they definitely came up short in the story department. The story was more than a touch boring, having us assume the role of Conan searching for magic pieces of armor(?!?). Developers, Conan very rarely wore armor and didn't wear it frequently enough to miss it if he lost it. This is one reason why he is such a compelling character; he'd take on armys with just a sword in his hand and a loincloth covering his area. Not to mention Conan hates magic, why would he be chasing magic items?

Another thing is Conan is supposed to be a womanizer that puts James Bond to shame. Yet throughout the game he frees half-naked women (and does nothing else with em, huh? A hug at least would make sense) pushing them aside trying to save some chick he just met??? Why wouldn't he just take the first three chicks he freed back to his place?

The combat was also ok. The boss fights were interesting and inventive yet extremely repetitive. How many times are we supposed to repeat the same actions to put down a boss, have them get back up, and repeat the whole process all over again AND have fun doing it? The final boss battle in particular sucked badly, the difficulty and monotony of it made me want to unleash a combo on my controller irl.

So in summary, if you want gore and boobies, this game won't disappoint...much. If you are looking for a compelling story that is faithful to the Conan mythos, go to a bookstore.

Want Conan Discount?

The game is pretty good and I think it is fun to play. The boss battles are engaging. The graphics look pretty good. The controls are fairly tight. The sound is OK, a bit repetative after a while with all the one-liners Conan spouts off. I like how you gain XP to learn new moves and the different weapons you can use that bring in different styles of play. It's no Ninja Gaiden, mind you, so if you want to own the best Hack-n-Slash game on the PS3 go for Ninja Gaiden Sigma. If you want to play as Conan or like the low fantasy setting of Hyboria, this is the only show in town till Age of Conan is released in Mar 08. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
