At first i didn't pay much attention to it, and thought the graphics looked pretty bad, but after seeing this trailer things looked better and better, though it really does rip off of GOW in various aspects. Just have to wait and see, I guess.

You do know there is a demo for it on Marketplace, right?

But I do love the game from the little I played in the demo. The combat is brutal and you start to realize it really isn't a button masher after a few playthroughs of it. Cutting 4 guys in half with one swing of a giant two handed never really gets old to me... :twisted:

I'm a huge God of War fan. So I had high hopes for this game. But after playing the demo I felt it falls way short. I'm probably just biased because of my God of War fandom. But it the graphics seem kind of lame for next gen, and conan is huge. like way bigger than he should be. to me, that detracts from the overall game.

I'm a sucker for this kind of game. I mean dang, I even enjoyed 99 nights. Give me a guy with a sword and a lot of button combos. Give me stuff to unlock (a.k.a more combos!) and some leveling progression and i am happy.

Still i wouldn't expect this to be a God of War killer. God of War enjoys the same thing that games like Halo enjoy. Huge enormous budgets, with long development times, and talanted developers. GoW is an established AAA franchise and won't likely be bested by a new IP.

That doesn't mean that we can't enjoy every once of conan's GoW "inspired" gameplay. Bring it on!

Conan reminded me of God Of War, but when I thought about it, I enjoyed God of War 10x more. It was partly because God of War had a lot of cool weapons and powers that Kratos could have used. Yet I don't know much about the story of Conan because I remember that God of War had a great story IMO

According to GI review it isn't, it got a 7.0 I believe ! Something about too much cheap deaths and the enemies circle around you and beat you like a Pinata !

I'm more interested in the game 'Darksiders' as a God of War type game.

I think its merely ok. The control scheme and fixed camera kinda make me iffy, and his animations are still instead of fast and brutal. Also, Conan's Voice is terrible- he sounds like a 14 year old trying to sound tough. In response to the Conan looks too big statement- not really. If you look at the old marvel comics and ignore the movie, he's about just as big as a cimmerian is supposed to be.
