AP: 'Conan' game delivers fists of fun (4 out of 4 stars)

The Associated Press - Ron Harris, Dec. 12, 2007:

"Overall, it's probably the best, most engaging game I've played all year. Even the cut scenes are works of art. 'Conan' shows what game developers can deliver if they truly commit to a project and pay attention to details necessary to bring an iconic figure like Conan to life."

Four out of four stars.

4 / 4

I am really curious to what his second most engaging game is, but it's always good to see people enjoying games.

2.1 - There's no such thing as a gaming pro

and this person must have been born yesterday to give it a score like that. I played through the demo once and the fighting a graphics were so weak and sad, I deleted it when I finished.

Jesus Christ. For real? That game sucks. If this is the most engaging game he's played all year I'm guessing he spent the last 11 months playing Horsez.

He likes Conan, and I like Lair & Genji. Let people have fun with what they want. We shouldn't all like and hate the same things. Then we'd all be stupid clones going around saying things like, "bomba, bomba, bomba..."

you can go download the freaking demo and play it. If you have had some God of War experience, this game will suck for you.

I'm guessing he doesn't play many games. I like Conan. I bought it and have played through it twice, but it's pretty lackluster in presentation, story, and for being a 360/PS3 title. I still think God of War II is better, but hope there will be a Conan sequel.

Most engaging? Far from it. For me, the God of War demo on PSP is way more engaging then Conan. Yeah, a PSP demo.

Got to rent it first as I saw a lot of reviews about this game. Must say firstly it graphically looks like an XBox first-gen game.
And yes, was quite enjoyable and a bit kitsch in them.

A just-rent only game.

"Overall, it's probably the best, most engaging game I've played all year."
Is that so. Well I wonder what this reviewer would think of games such as Bioshock, Mass Effect, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Call of Duty 4, UT3, Heavenly Sword, Mario Galaxy, The Eye of The Judgment, and God of War 2?

23.1 - well.

he would not be thinking anything after playing that for long enough, he is obviously suffering from some sort of brain damage.

Maybe he has some sort of mobility difficulty and can't change the disc.

sorry, i don't mean to be offensive, but there is definitely something wrong with this guy. sure everyone has an opinion and all that... but when reviewing one is meant to be objective. of course given the last few weeks we know that seems to no longer be the case with reviews.

the only thing that matters when reviewing is who is getting the $ for it....i guess this guy must be getting quite a few...

lol, While I personally liked Conan, it's by no means what they describe and if it wss indeed that much awesome and engaging for them, then I advise them to start playing games outside realm of Bejeweled and PopCap stuff because they must have missed GOW2, COD4, BioShock, AC, ME, R&C, Uncharted, UT3, Rock Band, MP3, SMG, Z&W and many many more.

25 - Good god!

This game was fun yet suffers from massive frame rate issues and had some of the poorest graphics I have seen on any secong gen game for the 360. Sorry, but it would get about a 2.5 out of 4 for me and that brings me to another point... 4 points? WTH?

Nice to hear someone else thought it was good!
Its not heavenly sword, and its certainly no where near the best game of the year, but Conan was great fun. Extremely bloody and with brutal combo's, its a game that continued to make me wince as I played and I thought the boss battles were very well realised, even if they were blatently ripped off from god of war!

I played it on the 360 and it made a nice change from the constant uninventive FPS 'shoot em in the head' titles that normally get served up on a weekly basis.

Next they're going to say that the Beowulf game was innovative and a "AAA" title. Like when the Beowulf game developer said it was going to be leaps and bounds better than God of War. LMAO!
