- looked like a ps2 game

- graphics were really bad, didnt look nex gen at all, everything was just bland and had no colour

- gameply wasn't smooth and fluid. felt really slow and sluggish

- yes, it is a GOW wannabe

- anything else? oh yah DONT DOWNLOAD IT!

i cant believe this game, really poorly made. i didnt even hear about it till last week, and then ifind outthat the gameis almost out, it looked like it was gonna flop, however, i gave it a chance but i totally regret it.....

i actually read somewhere that some people really liked it. they either must really love conan, or they are just easily pleased....hah

I think it was the premise of the game was so cool to people. An mmo based in the Conan universe with real time battling. I guess its just another case of the product not living up to the hype of the premise.

yeah, it was pretty bad. I guess the only high point is cows can try and claim ownage for a multiplat being better on the PS3 lol. Its not much, but its something lol. I compared the two, and the PS3 version is smoother.

Yea, I found this game rather lame for 2007.

It looked like a PS2 game that was upscaled. The melee was worthless and unsatisfying. No thanks.

It wasn't that bad I mean it was ok. Good Combo system, I don't know about the graphics because I play on a standard tv. Not an HD tv they did look a little weak I really noticed it in the firstcutscene the chick in it looked really plain.

Did anyone else feel that the first guy you save looks like Kratos. He has that ash skin color and Red paint on his head. Just throwing that out there.

So yeah just enjoy the demo they are not making you buy it.

Yup. The game sucked...horribly. As soon as you start the voices don't even match up with the mouth movements. Garbage. The graphics are subpar for characters, the waterfall in the background looked like crap. The gameplay was boring. The enemy AI was horrible. They would walk circles around you if you don't attack them, kinda stupid. Rescuing the same exact person 4 times from a crate was stupid. On a side note......Ratchet and Clank demo kicked ass!!! Poor Conan.

Dude, you're confusing Conan with Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. That is the MMO.

The opening cut scene was really bad, I thought they must be trying to capture some sort of feeling from the ealier work of conan but I didn't like it at all, especially after seeing the faces in HS. However, I thought the combat was fun, you can pick up a second sword and chop peoples arms off, that was fun. I might even play it again to see if i can find new ways to dismember people.

to the people complaining about the graphics i thought they were cool because i now when i played the game was done hand drawn. there is spot that the hand drawn to give it a book picture feel. i thought it was a 7 game so far which is good but not great. i think everyone didn't now it was most of the game was hand drawn on purpose. i think playing the full game will be better. i will rent this game not buy it until maybe it is greatest hits.

Whoa, I am really surprised to see everyone bashthis game so much, I really enjoyed the demo. I didn't expect the crazy amount of gore, the first time I chopped a guy's arms off I was blown away. Then after that I had a blastrunning around dismembering everyone,when it ended Ireally wanted more.I don't like hack and slash games at all, but I definitely enjoyed this demo more than the demo for Heavenly Sword. I don't know if I'll buy the game but I'm definitely gonna rent it and play through it. Did anyone else have fun with this demo??

It's defiantly old school Conan art style from the 60's and 70's. As a hard core fan of the Conan universe. (- the movies ) I really liked it. it's no GOW but it's going to be fun in it's own since. i was just trying to figure out if it's better on the PS3 or the 360. i have both systems and demos but with a 1080I TV so i can't tell really (ps3 drops to 480P). it seams like the PS3 loads faster and also has a little more detail. both run smooth though.

Me I liked it, ok the graphics are not the best I've seen but the gameplay is very cool and violent. Yes the color were dull but this the Hyborian Age, not Alice in Wonderland. Negative point: the story seem average, far from the quality of Robert E. Howard stories. But I prefered this game to Heavenly Sword.

Haven't played it yet, downloaded it and will try it later tonite, but if the reports are correct then I won't expect much from this demo, and will be deleted soon, to make space for future demos.

I thought it was.....ok. I have a reserve on it just in case I heard something good come out of it. But hearing all the comments on here I might as well push it on another title thats worth $60.

Yeah I played it too it sucked big time. The combat is very sucky, one of those games where you are bashing your controller trying to escape the un-escapable as you watch a guy perform combo's on you with no way to counter. It seriously is a HUGE step backwards for the genre, no way near next-gen.

My guess is this was started for the PS2 or something then switched to PS3.

Can't say I was too impressed either, I'm sure theres more fun to be had than the crap level that was chosen for the demo. Way too linear and that layer of grey on the screen that would sometimes vanish made the already muddy textures look worse. I can look past subpar graphics as long as theres some fun gameplay but even with the all the moves and styles you can use it felt too sloppy and the audio seemed to still need some tweaking, plus whats the deal with objects,weapons,and even bodies getting stuck in mid-air? I'll rent it or pick it up some day when it's cheaper but with the amount of other games coming out I'm not really interested as I was when I first heard about the game.

This is a different Conan game -- you're confusing it with Conan: Age of Hyboria. The MMO Conan won't be out for a while yet. This Conan is just your basic action hack n slash game.

DEFINITLY IS NOT A PURCHASE BUT: if you press bloack right before they attack you, you do a crazy ass counter and they look really violent and are entertaining.

yeh it sucked very badly, i still dont understand how IGN tated this game 1 full point higher than Heavenly Sword

mobius1979

What? IGN did that? That's furious! The Conan game's animation sucked so bad! If you have Conan running a circle and suddenly stops him, you will see animation skipping as if the character just magically appeared from one position to another.

If you run toward the camera when you just come into the playable area during the demo, the camera will shake so bad that your head will become dizzy.


And the graphics is worse than ps2 games...

And the combat is so bad, the combo is super limited and once you get chopped, you can't counter. And there's no enemy AI whatsoever.

good lord, if this game is 1 point higher than heavenly sword, then IGN has lost its mind.

The first thing I noticed was how poor some of the animations and graphics were. But the game itself is a definate rental...at best. I might just avoid it all together because I'm saving my money for a ton of better games this holiday season. The fact that Ign thinks this is better than Hs is sinful.

But yeah, this game sucked more than mold being gagged down your mouth. I find it funny that they went for the Heavenly Sword route by doing a fatal counter....

This demo is a joke. From the looks of it, this game will be very repetative. The whole time i was playing i kept asking myself..."why would a company release a demo that was this bad?" i was more interested in this game before i played the demo, which is the oppisite of what a demo should do.

Super cheesy game, but to be honest I was expecting worse. The graphics are crap, the voice acting is terrible, and the gameplay is a total GOW clone, down to the last button, but the "300" elements when you kill a guy are awesome. It's a demo I will have fun with but not a game I'd ever pay more than 3-4 dollars for.
