Derivative but great!
Fortunately though, thats not necessarily a bad thing, Conan's similarity with God Of War actually works in its a favour for two crucial reasons: a) God Of War is ace and b) we dont have a God Of War game on our PS3's yet so at the moment this is the only chance we are going o get to liquify hourdes of mythological bad guys with a big sword on sony's console.
Conan has a solid storyline and benefits from a smooth control system (exactly like God Of Wars in every way) and battle gameplay which rewards combo use with extra power and yet more deadly moves. All in all Conan is a completely satisfying adventure game which fans of Kratos should take a look at and everyone else should give a chance.
