Fun for all Beat´em up and Conan-Fans.Definetly better then I expected.
+Good Atmosphere
+Many Combos
+Pretty long (for a game like that)
+Well told Story
The Bad:
-Camera Controls could be better
-You got hit very often without a chance to block
First off,I´m not a big Conan-Fan.I was searching for a short and stupid Beat´em up for the weekend and Conan looked like the right decision.And I was positively impressed...
The Graphics really well made.You find many small details and it runs smooth.Conan looks like he jumped right out of a Comic and is well animated.I expected much worse.
The Sound is one of the biggest plus points.The Sound-effects are the Standard stuff,but the Music is great.It takes the typical Conan-Atmosphere to the game.
The Gameplay itself is the usual Man-with-a-big-Sword-Stuff.You can learn and power up many moves (in 2 Classes Axe and Sword) and you can find egnough new.Everything is pretty straight-forward,but after all this is a Beat´em up and no Action-Adventure.
The Story is also well told...even if it´s a bit overdone (...Conan with his inhuman powers...bla,bla,bla).
The only really negative about this game:Some Enemys are just faster then you.Equal what you do they hit you first.Maybe it´s a small Bug,but if you Block the Attack you should be ok.
So...:
If you´re searching for a new Beat´em up this is what you´re searching for.It should be cheap until now.
P.S. for PAL-Gamers: As far as I know the German PAL-Version is cut.I didn´t recognise anything negative about it.Blood is still shown and Conan got the German Voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger.The English PAL-Version should be uncut.
