Conan (Nihilistic)

[Uli]

i found a new US copy at 30 Euro and after reading the positive Edge review i decided to give this a go right after finishing DMC4.

well, i am a little bit more than halfway through and i can't stress enough how much i enjoy this game. especially considering i just come from one of the best fighting games currently available. there are lots of greatly animated fighting combos to learn for each weapon constellation and the dodge-block-strike mechanics and controls behind it work perfectly. most of all this game has some of the best boss fights since God of War 2. these bosses truly deserve their name regarding lenght and drama of the fight and it's so satisfying to overcome them.

the game certainly is no technical showcase on the 360 but it's beautiful in places and has some nice art style. i just wish the character models had gotten the same attention as the scenery.

if i should rate this game i'd give it 8 out of 10. i can only encourage everyone who finds it cheap to pick it up.

btw: someone heard of the US version being censored? i remember in the demo i played the girl was shouting something like "cruch me with your love". this line seems gone from the game...

Money saved, ta!

I`m glad I could help!

It tells you something when you buy a game for full price on release and the next day CEX are only offering ?15 for it.

Quick question :

Is this a kinda Devil May Cry/God Of War/Heavenly Sword slashathon game, or am I mistaken?

No, you`re not mistaken.

This game is a bit of a poorman`s God of War but as GoW isn`t available on the 360 it`s the best we`ve got.

It`s a case of mashing X or Y, then a combination of X and Y. There are also context sensitive moves ala GoW but they are **** in comparison.

This game was fun for a while, plenty heads and limbs being cut off, but the people you are fighing in level one are the smae as the ones you fight in level 5 and so on except for the fact they might have different hats on.

I got bored of this game, it`s rubbish!

[Uli]

[eastyy]

saw this in game was thinking of getting but the display boxes had no screen shots on it

[cohen205]

Another thumbs up from me - dont expect a masterpiece, and you'll be pleasantly suprised.

I've only played on it for about 2 hours and i think im on the 3rd level now, but the game is good mindless fun. Perfect after a hard day at the office.

Sounds fun and the vids ive seen of it look like good mindless fun, im gonna have to wait for it to appear cheap tho cant justify buying it yet.
