Conan Hands-On

Our overall impressions of Conan were quite good considering the game is being worked for both PC's and next-generation consoles. There are a few issues though we'd definitely prefer not to see in the final version (such as occasionally freakish AI routines, camera issues, and sluggish controls). It appears that Conan should capture the attention of the average gamer once it hits stores. Fantasy fans may also be impressed with some elements that make for a nice tribute to the great works of writer Robert Erwin Howard. To top it off, it was a gratifying experience to hear the solid soundtrack which was enriched with tunes from the first Conan flick, composed by Basil Poledouris.

Conan is currently available for purchase in Europe, while the US version is expected to arrive some time later this year. We invite all readers eager to taste the gameplay to pop round this way and download the demo from AT Files.
