Ho-Hum Hack N Slash

User Rating: 7 | Conan PS3

I purchased this game used as i knew it was nothing special. I dont usually rent games because i take my time to finish games and dont like to play 8 hours sessions of video games on my weekends....well....not to often anyways. It isnt a bad game but there is so much room for improvement. It seems as though it was rushed out to meet a deadline or or they just didnt want to spend anymore money on it. Anyway,
the game is, like everyone is saying, a GOW clone. The machanics are very similar. you collect orbs to up your power and purchase new combos. There are a lot of cool moves that Conan pulls off and watching him slice up the bad guys is fun to watch. It does get a bit repetative. The gameplay seems a bit on the easy side so it might be worth starting on a harder difficulty setting. The graphics is really where the game cheaps out. It all looks very clunky as mentioned in the gamespot review. This probably couldve been released on the PS2 without much difference. There is not much detail on the charactors or the landscapes. GOW2...and probably even GOW1 on the PS2 looked much better. Also mentioned by game spot, Ron Pearlman does not pull off a very good conan. No surpise, other than hellboy, he's hasnt done much good with anything.

All in all, if you like hack n slash games like me, then its worth playing but not at full price. pick it up used or rent it for a week. It wont take very long to beat, maybe 6 hrs. I give it a very generous 7/10.
