      Re: Conan

      I picked it up but I haven't cracked the plastic yet. I may not open it for a while as I still have Half Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2 as well as portal to beat.

        So far all I'm hearing is really cheap imitation of GoW. I'll rent it eventually.

          Re: Conan

          Well, I have the game and let me first say that I am a big fan of the Conan comic books. So, i am very biased in my opinion.

          To me the game looks just like the comic, whoever did the artwork for the game captured Conan beautifully. The different lands and places that I remember reading about appear to be in the game (what happened to Belite?). Anyway I have gotten past the first boss and I am thoroughly enjoying the game. I didn't play the demo. To me it is like playing the comic book.

          Some of the moves look right out of the savage sword of conan, there is this slow motion double sword attack that captures conan's fury with a blade (conan fans will know what I mean when you see it) very well. In sum, I like the game. I have played it for the last 3 hours. I will probably play through it again when I finish it. I think most should rent it before buying it as most will not be as big a fan as I am.

          A little something for the Conan fans. Man this stuff brings back memories.

              Yep. That is exactly what it is. A pure hack n slash but you get to be Conan. Although there is a bit of strategy involved with what weapons to use on what opponents and how to attack and block. I love the game. It is like you are playing a Conan comic book. I could not have asked for more.There is no adjustable camera, you take what the game gives ya in regards to the view point.

                I didn't really enjoy it, but maybe that is because I was never into Conan.

                  Thanks. I'll give this game a try for sure since I'm in to those types of games. Too bad this doesn't have co-op, that would be awesome.

                    If I were you I would definitely rent it first. I am a big Conan fan, so I would have purchased it regardless. I can say though, they got Conan right! The voice though could have been better.

                      Didn't know a thing about Conan going in but picked it up anyway because I enjoyed the demo and really like these types of games...

                      Gotta say, it was well worth the purchase for me.

                        Rented this yesterday and its pretty fun and gory as hell. Like someone said, its great for what it is(hack and slash) good rental. I'll also cosign on the "woulda been great as a coop!"
