Rating: - Excellent Bloody, Gory Fantasy!
For those of you who have read the Marvel Comics Conan the Barbarian or The Savage Sword of Conan (Marvel Magazine Comics), then this game is for you! It follows the Conan world to a T.
Violent, bloody, and wenching at its best! You dismember pirates, Egyptians, etc and, once you save a wench from harm, she "pays" you back. The game play is outstanding! So realistic and fun...play it in a dark room with surround sound and you will not regret it.
Enjoy.
Rating: - Great Game too bad it did not make a success
Its so much fun, great graphics, sound and gameplay. too bad it did not make a best selling.
I realy enjoyed it much, I think the main cause of the low sales is that there are few fans of conan in the new generation
I recommend this game to any action fan.
Rating: - Conan
Fun... But it doesn't have it all. Very short (about 6 hours) and very repetitive. Almost zero replay value.
Rating: - This is the REAL Conan..Bloody, Gory, Violent!
Excellent game. I am truly impressed with this game. If you are a fan of the Marvel Comics Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan (Magazine), then you will LOVE this game. This is definitely from the true Conan line up. As for the game play, it is truly magnificent! You can pick up a Buccaner and rip their guts out with your hands or you can throw them up in the air and slice them in half! Decapitation and dismemberment is big in this game. When you save the damsels in distress...well, let's just say that it is not what you expected. 8)
This is definitely not for children due to the amount of violence.
Buy it...you will not regret it.

This was a much anticipated game. I would like to return it and get my money back at full value. The game begins well enough but as you work through it becomes so difficult as to be less than enjoyable. Now, do I expect the game to be a challenge? Of course, but when you are required to memorize a litany of moves that eclipse the arts of fencing, boxing and tae kwon do put together, defeating the bosses of each level becomes more than extremely challenging. Yet this is not my major gripe. There are holes in the geometry throughout the game, the Conan sprite will often get stuck in weird places which require a reload, sometimes requiring a complete rehash of quite a bit of tough baddies you have had a hard enough time killing already. This is even more annoying when fighting against level bosses because some of them can push you into these "holes" and carve you to bits while your sprite is stuck without the ability to move or counter the attacks. If you are thinking about buying this game forget it. However I would recommend renting it because in the areas where the game is working properly it is downright fun, which is why I give it more than one star. Dismembering your enemies and then being able to kick their lifeless bodies around is just plain cool.
