The game has allot to offer, but still feels like all other MMO's, but with Lots of blood, boobs and mammoths!
Age of Conan is in my opinion by far the best MMORPG game I have played, that does not mean I don't like World of Warcraft, but when you first start playing AoC (Age of Conan), you start to feel that WoW (World of Warcraft) is a rather childish and well boring, when you play AoC it gives the feeling that you really control the character, you swing your sword and chop of limbs, blood and gore comes spattering all over the screen, and all the 12 year old WoW gamers screams and runs away, which they probably already did when they read the back of the game cover and it said that you need a raw piece of computer to run it, that or when the first boob showed on screen.
The game delivers an amazing start to the player, an extreme environment with extreme textures and detail, the draw distance is HUGE, and the lighting effects are great, the first part of the game also includes FULL voice acting from all the quest givers, and other NPC's in the area.
Still, the game is not perfect (neither is GTA IV!) they did not expect players to level up as fast as they did and then the boring parts start, when you first reach that one level it feels like the game ended, they did not really finish that part of the game, this will be fixed in later patches, I hope, and we all would be able to enjoy the game for what it is worth, free drinks, rolling heads, boobs and huge powerful mounts that will blow you away!
