    Conan is at its best visceral and furious fun with limbs and heads flying. Unfortunately, the adrenaline level drops when the speed slows down on harder adversaries and when the enemies do not have limbs to detach or heads to pop. Also, boss fights tend to follow the same pattern too much. Still, it is worth the time and effort. Experimenting with different moves never gets old. [Oct 2007]

    Much of our play time was spent grinning in devilish glee at the absurd action that liberally splashed the screen with severe amounts of gore. Given this, we'd love to recommend the game, but the entire adventure will only last about 5-7 hours.

    Every slasher on PS3 is better than this, even "Genji." A ropey "God of War" tribute act. [Dec 2007, p.80]

    This game has SICK animation, and gameplay controls... It's like driving a little GI Joe action figure that does everything you tell it flawlessly. I can see how some might think the high production value of this game is an indicator of its flaws, but I see it as an indicator of its greatness. The only thing this has in common with GoW is that its a Video game, about a character Kratos was inspired from, and has floating orbs to heal/give you exp... and the magic, which shouldn’t have been in this game at all, they should have cut the magic... your stupit if you allow Conan to use magic idiots, even if you do try to pretend he doesn’t like it when he uses it.. but other than that its totally unique and should be an inspiration to any action game out there!… Expand

    C'mon this game is just bad. it's like a Heavenly Sword with Downs Syndrome. Any site that rates this above a 7 is highly suspect. Conan is about as good as Arnold's acting in the original movie.… Expand

    I wanted to like this game but the boss battles are so repetitive, frustrating and boring. An hour for each of running around in circles doing the same moves to get one or two hits in until their health is gone, then a button combo, then their health regenerates to full three more times and you repeat all again and again until you die and have to restart or eventually grind your way through. Bad design based on God of War boss battles. I would rather be working than having to complete this game.… Expand
