This game looks like it's snuck out under the covers. Early reports seem to indicate it's better than some might think (myself included) -- if you've played the game give us a review (it's so much more useful to post comments alongside your vote) .. is it worth buying with so many bigger titles set for release in the coming weeks?

A 10 should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9 for a truly excellent game without a fundamental flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5 (not a 7 like some reviews would have you believe).

EDIT: If you've already written a review in the main Conan thread, feel free to post it here for comment too, and please only vote if you've played enough of the game to comment.

Did anyone else play Conan? Only 3 reviews so far, and that's not enough to enter it into the comparison table with the other games (10 votes minimum) ... surely more than 3 people have played this game? There was quite a lot of discussion in the play and help thread when the game first came out iirc...

....I haven't put a review score on as i only played the demo..

..the demo was so utterly appalling that there's no way i'd buy the game.

To be fair i'd say this game was a welcome change from all the usual suspects. It had its flaws and heavy lashings of cheese but it did what It said on the tin. I really enjoyed it right up to the part where the final boss battle drove me to depths of despair. I'd give it a 7 for good. I never played the demo so can't compare it with the full game. I'd rent it or buy it if you can find it cheaply. Don't discount it so readily.

i dont know i think the demo was pretty poor basic graphics zoomed out a million miles and some button mashing which IMO is only welcome i beat em ups and maybe dynasty warrior type games

I have recently been playing Conan and it is a simple hack & slash affair that I am enjoying playing through. It's no COD4 but you can switch off brain and just cleave your way through swarms of enemy's, lot's of blood and guts, great finishing moves and busty maidens, great fun
