Bought it. Played it. Hated it. Returning it...
Gutted about this - I had high hopes for a decent Conan game, and think that the presentation & style of the game are faithful to the original Conan stories, which is cool.
However, the control system is unresponsive at best, and Conan feels like he is running through wet cement whenever he moves about.
For the amount of moves available, it seems to be all too easy to do random button bashing when fighting.
The camera is also appalling, and spins wildly out of control if you try to set it manually, and don't get me started on Live play.
If you have more than about 3 fighters in an arena, it gets very laggy, with players disappearing & appearing all over the place - maybe I was unlucky, and just caught a few bad connections, but it seemed to be pretty pony. The whole Live concept for this game seems flawed, as it is just a free for all with no real stategy.
I can't take it back until the weekend, so will give it another chance with a few more days play, but unless things improve sharpish, I'll change it for something else.
