Conan - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

From what I remember of Howard's novels of Conan, his writing painted extremely vivid pictures of the world he described. The game Conan honors this in presenting the game with beautiful graphics, extreme violence, and lots of fun. I would agree with other reviewers who said that the boss battles were tedious. Generally, other aspects of the game (running around killing hordes of enemies) were extremely fun and visually entertaining. Learning new combinations of moves is also a lot of fun.On the down side, the game is quite short relative to other adventure games for Xbox 360, finishing after about 7 hours. It's fun enough that there is some replay value, but I'm not sure that $60 is worth it. I would wait until this comes down to about $40 or even $30. Otherwise, it's a lot of fun.

Conan, for Xbox 360 is a decent offering. Great graphics and action. Highly entertaining.It could benefit from two things: some way to share the experience with friends, and a few more save points. ;)

This is probably one of the best hack-n-slash games I have ever played. Unlike most, I actually feel like I'm in control of the character. With a lot of games like this, I end up getting too frustrated because you have to wait for your character to finish a canned move sequence before you get to control them again.Sure, there's little storyline, but who cares? This game was created so you can torture legions of enemies. It delivers.The only thing I don't like about this game is the boss battles can really piss you off. They go on for ever. They are epic, that's for sure. Just when you think you've got the boss licked, it comes back for some more.I find myself laughing out loud at the shear carnage in the game.I highly recommend this game. I'm glad I just rented it, though, as it has no replay value to me.~Slick
