It is easy to criticize a game for its graphics. Yes, they are dated, but the story and gameplay outshine any rough edges this game may have. Don't overlook this title. A definite hidden gem. Warning: super violent and lots of sexy stuff in the same ilk as God of War/Dante's Inferno.

Just want for me. Had trouble getting into it. It's an action game 100%. I hated how far you had to get in each level/chapter to save. I thought we were done with those types of action hands of the 80-90s.

I've always been a big fan of Conan movies and I figured this game wouldn't disappoint me. I was right. It's definitely not a game I'd recommend letting your children watch you play due to the gore and sexual inuendos. The nice thing though is the developers have included an option when you first run the game to disable the gore factor. There are several ways to dismember enemies as well as disembowel them. For me it was very satisfying to watch Conan as he sliced things in half. As for the sexual side of things, you have to rescue several women and they all were clothed only in a bikini bottom or loin cloth. They were naked otherwise. The soundtrack is excellent and reminds me of the God of War soundtracks. Of course the Conan movies have always had epic music to go along with the action, so this was to be expected. There were a few hiccups with Conan getting stuck on the edges of scenery or enemies standing around and waiting for me to hack them to bits. Conan's moves are sluggish when compared to Kratos in the God of War games. This is really the only issue I have with the game. The experience and upgrade system are good, but could have been better. I just think there were too many choice for upgrades. Depending on what type of weapon(s) you are using, you have a lot of choices for upgrades, like health increases and magic armor abilities. The story is very good and moves along in logical lines. The boss fights are fun and aren't just repeats of the last boss with a different background. The enemies are different for the most part with each new stage and because of this, you are forced to use different methods of killing them. This helps to keep things fresh. I usually don't get into games like this, but hey it's Conan and an overall fun game to play.Read full review
If you love the type of games that you have to go and slash enemies and collect items you will love this game! The game opens up with Conan, voiced here by a decidedly unbarbaric-sounding Ron Perlman, out on an adventure, battling marauding specters on a remote island while in search of a valuable gem. The story, which is told as though it were an ancient campfire legend, isn't terribly weighty, even though at one point you're essentially tasked with saving the world. Still, it does a good job of establishing the primal and lawless feel of the land of Hyboria. The only thing about Conan is it`s length!!! At around 9 hours, it's a pretty brief adventure. But a good deal of craft went into making all of the game's over the top violence look so great, and it's the kind of guilty pleasure you'll want to savor.Read full review
Well, the first thing that I loved about this game was the title itself. Conan. I grew up watching those movies, infact the first time I remember going to the theater was a double feature with Conan the Barbarian and Raiders of the Lost Arc. I was only 4 years old but somehow I remember. When I saw that XBOX 360 had Conan for their system I needed to get one (also OBLIVION made up my mind too to buy one). Conan is a great hack-slash game but that's about it. It can be fun at times when I feel like playing a brainless game but that's about it. I havn't gotten that far in it, I find myself playing OBLIVION most of the time, but I do enjoy the game. I just with they had the same music from the movies in the game.
