Title: Conan demo ROCKS!
Post by: GmanJoe on October 17, 2007, 02:15:54 AM

It\'s close to the gameplay of GOW, but lacking the chain whip sword and acrobatics. Conan just is...well....a straight forward barbarian. And he can pick up and use the swords of his fallen enemies. Two handed? Yes. Pick up items and throw them (pretty much all items can be thrown)? Yes. So far, when I had the time, I can pretty much damage the surroundings. Quite entertaining. It seems the swords also lose their edge. Literally. But I can\'t confirm that yet.

Gripes? well...the camera is a bit far back and I think you can\'t rotate them. It\'s pretty much like GOW.

I havent played it, but I heard from justlight that it was garbage. The graphics look so bad and the shadowing appears extremely low res. He also mentioned that the details like veins on his arms look retarded.

The graphics isn\'t the problem. It\'s the fact that the creators are emulating Frank Frazetta\'s Conan paintings. It\'s sad that many fans of his are probably too old to be bothered by video games. Most of the critics have no clue who Frank Frazetta is.

Frank Frazetta is some kind of cheese right?
