Hi,
As this is released today. Has anyone here bought this/tried it out? Have you heard of any good reviews/previews? Might be quite fun from the few photos I've seen (involving a battle on a ship with a large octopus type creature).

Ta very much. Would be good to know what it's like. Just realised that I can reinvest all my Nectar Card points into Argos discounts; have about 40 pounds worth now. Going to either go for a game or use it towards a new PSP, remote play function seems interesting and can only become more so.

If you've already played God War 1+2, and recently bought Heavenly Sword, don't touch this with a barge pole. However, if hack'n'slashers are your gaming meat'n'veg. You'd do a lot worse.

The most unoriginal, plagiarist game I've ever played. Good fun though.

It's worse than Heavenly Sword, and that's bad enough.

I have it on rental for the 360. It's good, solid fun although I wouldn't pay Ł40 for it.

I thought Conan was great. It only took about 6 hours to complete but I have actually replayed it a few times as with the 3 different fighting styles and all the unlockable moves it has a lot of replayability.

A solid 8/10 for me.

If God of War never happened it would've been superb. Anyone else notice that the female narrator for both games are next to identical. The way Conan yells the name of a God when he kills peopple is identical. The red and green orbs are identical. The setting is identical.

Everything is the most blatant rip-off of God of War I've ever seen.

Shameless. Naughty Nihilistic.

Good fun though. Just not worth Ł40, or Ł30.

At least they don't try to hide it.

Yeah, it's blatant as blatant can be.

Well worth it for that price. Great hack and slash game.
