All it would take is for one parent to have a duck fit and Conan would become one of the hottest selling games this year.

I loved the Demo.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Demo was alright, but the game felt (and actually looked) inferior to God of War. On one hand, why not steal from the best, but on the other, it didn't exactly feel fresh to me.

I'm planning on picking it up pretty soon - the demo was great -- also featuring Claudia Black. People bitch and moan that it's a God o'War clone, but if you (like me) haven't played those - since I never owned a PS2 - it doesn't really mean anything.
It feels like a nice hack and slash - sounds a little short though - that'll add some variety to my RPG/FPS gaming right now, especially since Mercs 2 and NG2 are a ways away still.

I'm glad I don't have the baggage of God Of War.
People just can't let things stand on their own.
Anyway, I went into gamestop and when I asked about Conan the guys at the counter gave me a free pre-order figurine. I told them that I wasn't buying Conan now but they said they had too many so they just put them out for people to take. Then they told me to take 2.
Well, hell...I never say no to "FREE".
...but then I ended up buying Conan anyway.
But it's all good. I'm gonna have fun with this and Jericho

So far it's been pretty fun. Like I said, I'm not stuck on the ghost of God of War so this has been a enjoyable new experience for me. The graphics are nice and the moves are cool. I kinda wish they would have given more control over the camera location but it's no big deal.

I just watched the video review of Conan on gametrailers.com. This game couldn't be a more blatant God of War rip-off if it tried. 
The video review showed sections where you have to quickly tap a button to open a door, opening chests and tons of red power orbs come out, quicktime events where you press a button in time, etc. I don't think I saw a single original idea that wasn't stolen from God of War.
P.S. The video review showed a lot of female nudity too.

Re: Conan xbox360
Well 3 years later (and after Ive owned this for over a year) I finally played and beat this game. It was a huge mistake playing it on hard as its a very cheap game. Once youre getting hit you cant block or roll!!! The best thing was Perlman and the worse: ABSOLUTE SHITTY LONG HORRIBLE BOSS BATTLES!!!

Lucky you man. I was on Normal and having a great time until I got to the 2nd Bonecrusher(the Minotaur fucker with the Lions). I was stuck for a long time and just gave up. I traded it in.
Had it not been for that Boss I think I would've loved that game.

Re: Conan xbox360
What really sucks is that you have to baby step EVERY boss. Hit it twice than run. Whoever designed this game needs a good case of herpes!
The reason I played it now was I wanted a God of War fix... this didnt help

Hrmmm, and I was just thinking about my sealed copy that I bought like a year or two ago. Maybe I'll go play something like Condemned/Condemned 2 instead
. *sigh*, why can't somebody make a good Conan game, it shouldn't be hard...but yet the 360 game and the MMO have both sucked the big one. All it needs is fighting and wenches for pete's sake.
