I came across the Screw Attack review of Conan for the 360. It was the worst review I have ever seen. The dude was straight up lying. That site is so down on anything not using a wiimote, its like watching fox news. The graphics in Conan were fantastic. As an artist I scrutinize the visuals of a game heavily and I can honestly say that I was, from level to level, consistently impressed with the graphics in Conan.

I hate how reviewers are so harsh to B games. People complain and expect every game to be a 10 because they cost 60 bucks yet they will mindlessly throw away 10 bucks, at the box office every weekend, on films they know nothing about. Your average film might take a couple months to film and the budgets are massive. games on teh other hand take significantly longer to produce, provide way more enjoyment for exponentially longer periods of time and for fractions of what it costs to produce a film. Also, don't forget that films also appeal to a much greater market, affording them the ability to charge much less. Not every game has a 2 million dollar budget and yet we all expect 2 million dollar presentation and polish. If developers were actually making as much of a profit as most people think then we wouldn't see as many clones or rushed games as we do.

A Madden game that is puked into the scene every year with virtually no upgrades often sells more copies than a game like Conan because reviewers say that it is a clone! It's totally hypocritical. or the enemy ai didnt cause you a frustrating death every 3 seconds. For a site like screw attack which is known for its love of old school games and nintendo to critisize a 360 game for graphics is complete BS. I actually thought he was joking at first saying that the game was blocky. there isnt a blocky model in that entire game. the AI was great and the enemies were varied and (bottom line) fun to fight. wait let me say that again.. the game was FUN. the ai issues screw attack experienced must have been if he was playing the game on easy or some rare occurance. I was never able to just drink a health potion while enemies stood by with out gettign my ass handed to me. Sometimes I get the impression that they just like to rip on games for comic effect by saying that the ai is "just plain retarded" wow what a thoughtful way to describe it. especially when you have an obstruction between conan and the enemy...can people not lend credence to the fact that a computer is not gonna just clip through an object if its not programmed that way, regardless of how good the AI is...it's as if he's just deliberatly trying to make the game screw up.

Being similar to god of war is not a fault. 360 will never see a GOW game because its an SCEA title. It makes sense for them to have at least one clone. No one ever knocks call of duty for being a doom clone or any other number of comparisons...conan was created in the 1940's and when I first played gow my first impression was of how kratos is just like conan oh and dont forget even gow is a complete rip off of devil may cry everything from the combos to the weapon level-up, even some story elements. Dircetor David Jaffe even once commented on the similariteis between Kratos and Conan.

What a brainless review. OMG this game reminds me so much of this other good game that I just can't stand it...what a clone!!! screw attack boasts that they will allow you to make your own desicion yet his review is anything but objective. Not exactly reading rainbow material. but you don't have to take my word for it.
