its an ok game but its no god of war thats for sure. One thing God of War did above all else...and is probabaly one of the best examples, is amazing production from the music score right down to the level design. This game is medicore imho from what ive played so far.
In terms of production its no where near the design that god o war had, i mean one thing that really bothers me is the music score just plain stops in some parts til you get to the next area with bad guys. And it kinda takes you out of the moment imho, some people might see if as a trivial gripe but to me its part of what made god of war so epic, the great cinematic soundtrack along with the great original level design. And the end of the levels have a rather unnessicary stats screen...STORY...focus on the story we can have a separate screen for stats...god devs never learn, a few more months in development and some solid play testing and feedback and this game coulda been really great. Maybe my opinion will change when i play more.
If your gonna rip off a games ideas...try to use the parts that made the game you're copying so great
so is it worth a DL or just skippy?
how is the gameplay, character movement/behavior/animation etc..
not that i'm that bored but still
i think its alot closer to god of war than ninja gaiden, its obviously what they were going for, with the red runes instead of blood to upgrade your attacks etc etc. The combat engine isnt as fluid as either ninja gaiden or god of war, a bit clunky. I have to say tho i like the parry system. Once you get it down its cool. The downside is when there are alot of enemies on screen surrounding you at times it can be difficult to see you character and exactly who's attacking you, which does make the parry system redundant. I wouldnt say the graphics are crap , bomberman act zero has crap graphics, there's are just mediocre. As for being worth a play through? Well i'll prolly play through the whole game its not a shit game but its not great either its just one of those pick up and play a few levels games for me atm
I'm getting into it. It doesn't feel as smooth as GOW but it does look good, the lighting and shadows are really nice. the bosses are impressive and the naked ladies look like they would be up for all sorts of mischief. Arms, legs and heads fly everywhere once Conan is in the zone.
i like the counter system too, I missed it at first as there is no in depth tutorial but once you get it you can pull it off with ease.
got to say I really like it. There's a system to countering attacks from lots of enemies, and there's always a way out of a sticky problem like throwing big rocks and barrels etc:... Graphics are not quite God of war, and could of looked better on 360... but I played an hour or so straight in one sitting! Pretty good... 7.5 out of 10
Been playing this all night now and it gets better and better. Anyone who hasn't got as far as the sand dragon and the Elephant Demon is seriously missing out on some nice graphics and gameplay. GOW was one of my favourite games and although I don't think this is quite as good, gameplay wise, it is not far off. Imagine this with the Sony budget. The graphics are excellent, check out the lighting and a kind of cell shading that gives everything a comic book feel, I'm loving it. It's quite tricky though. The combat system is not as mindless as you first think and each character has a technique and style which you have to overcome, think; learning the waves in an old school shoot em up.
I've had more fun with it than i did with Halo 3 anyway.

Yeah the later levels get really cool, Im playing it through on hard and damn it is hard at points, it saved my checkpoint with the elephant god boss with me on 5% health. Luckily if you die enough times at a boss it slowly increases your health with every attempt.Nice touch.
Like a few others scattered across the net, I'm having the problem where it hangs when loading a save game sadly. I usually use verbs, but have tried ritek and traxdata as well just to check. But always the same problem. Bugger

used rather cheap platinum, no hangs, already at the last lvl
just got done with the second bonecleaver fight, on hard. that shit is tough. No hints on how to do it. really like the combat, its surprisingly deep, nothing like stunning an opponent, disarming him, taking his shield and then splitting him in two.
