Score: 6/10
Synopses: You play Conan, a warrior who unleashed a spirit from it's stone prison. With no memory of this, Conan wakes up on a beach. He has to battle many foes to reclaim his stolen armour, in which lies his memories and powers.
The Good: The sheer amount of slashing involved is awesome. It really is just one of those games where you can sit back, relax, and beat the crap out of everything that moves.
There are some puzzles to solve in this game, but they don't require a lot of thought, nor do they take up a lot of your slashing time.
The upgrades and combo buying element is well thought out. It gives you something to work for. What can be better than to unlock that 5 button slash combo to make the blood squirt everywhere. Yes, it does sound awfully gory, but the game does have a 18+ age restriction.
The Bad: Oh so many things. The Graphics for one is awful. The textures are badly rounded and most of the characters look like they are built from Pixels when it comes to cut scenes. It's just absolutely devastating to see that, in today's day and age, people don't do the required to make a game as good as it can be.
There are a few bugs here and there which caused me to have to reload from a checkpoint because Conan is flying around Trinity style.
The game can sometimes feel a little to difficult, and other times a little to easy. There really isn't a good balance between the two. And it's not like the difficulty level goes up all the time. It's easy, then it's hard, then it's easy again...
If you just want a game where you slash people, and you don't really care much about what the PS3 can do, then I guess this game is okay for you. But if you are, like me, into what a game looks like, don't waste your time.
