Conan Critic Reviews
Some marketing brainiacs out there love a widely recognizable license to work games around more than anything, but as source material goes Conan is a little past its freshness date. The original books were written in the 1950’s and even the Conan movie...read the complete Conan review at Game Over Online
While the God of War franchise glamorized surreal brutality and “larger than life adventures” with grumpy anti-heroes, those traits could easily be traced back to the original stories of Conan the Barbarian – the original anti-hero. While it can be...read the complete Conan review at Gamer Within

As this is the Xbox 360 version of Conan that we tested, obviously it comes included with an achievements list. Take a look at this achievement list and you’ll realise that may of them involve you having to do nasty things to your enemies. Now whoever...read the complete Conan review at Console Obsession
The genre of “hack and slash” has been pretty scarce on the Xbox 360 platform over the past two years. Sony has always had God of War but Microsoft never really dove into that style of gaming, they have Halo. Times are changing and within the next mon...read the complete Conan review at Planet Xbox 360
Conan, an action-adventure filled with combos, more blood and ripped limbs than F.E.A.R. and the necessary bosses to give it an epic feeling, is nothing more or less than a rip-off of the Sony topgame, but done with a little less panache, talent and...read the complete Conan review at Fragland
I've been writing reviews for Xbox World Australia for almost five years now, and in that time, I've had to compare a lot of games to a lot of other games to help convey my point. One of the biggest challenges as an Xbox exclusive site has been trying to...read the complete Conan review at Xbox World Australia
Robert Howard’s “Conan the Cimmerian” character obviously had an effect on those that have read the stories of the bare-chested warrior. Onward from the early “Weird Tales” stories, comics and books were the next logical steps for Conan. But it ...read the complete Conan review at TeamXBOX
Something that offers both a series of joys and embarrassments is making it through your teenage years and being able to gaze back at them, taking stock of all that you’ve been through. Brimming with the awkwardness of puberty, the confusion brought on...read the complete Conan review at PALGN AU
There might not be a direct connection, but it's hard to imagine the God of War series existing as it does without Conan the Barbarian preceding it. At their hearts, both are brutally violent and dark tales of swords and sorcery, so it's not entirely...read the complete Conan review at GameSpot
God of War seems to be the precedent for all mythological based action games as of late, with its standards in both visuals and gameplay proven to be impressive. But while Kratos delved into the forum of ancient Greece, Conan the Barbarian takes place...read the complete Conan review at Gamer 2.0
What came first; the chicken or the egg? Although not officially connected in any way, there is no question at all that both Conan and the outstanding God of War have influenced each other in many ways. You see, upon playing Conan it's abundantly clear...read the complete Conan review at Ace Gamez
“Okay, let’s see if Conan has everything we need to hide the fact that the gameplay isn’t as good as it should be and to make it even more appealing to teens. Scantily clad women with gravity defying racks? Check. More blood and gore than a Hostel m...read the complete Conan review at Jolt Online Gaming UK
I've just untied a female slave from a tree and she doesn't have much to cover her modesty. Her alarmingly inflated breasts are bouncing excitedly in the jungle air, while all that stands between the cruel elements and her delicate minnie-moo is a...read the complete Conan review at Eurogamer
"Is that the new God of War game?" asks a visitor to the office last week. "No," I reply. "It's the Conan game. It does look a lot like God of War though." For anyone who knows their video game characters, the differences between...read the complete Conan review at Pro-G
If ever there was a game that deserves the word plagiarism on the back of the box as a bullet point it would be Conan. THQ and Nihilistic Software’s latest hack and slash borrows so much from Sony’s award-winning series that talking about the game...read the complete Conan review at ZTGameDomain
It probably started innocently enough. Conan lumbering up to God of War's Kratos and mumbling something like "Dude, can I borrow your sandals?" And from there, it just snowballed: "Can I borrow your moves?", "Can I borrow your controller scheme?", etc....read the complete Conan review at GameSpy
Carving its way onto the Xbox 360 and PS3, Conan’s latest title comes with all the violence and sexuality you’d expect from Hyboria’s famous barbarian. Hacking off limbs, conquering ancient monsters, and rescuing topless females, Conan’s latest ex...read the complete Conan review at GameTrailers
The big question of the day is how to start a review of Nihilistic Software's Conan without relying on some tired, old cliche. The game itself is such a carbon-copy of a certain other popular hack-and-slash title starring a muscle-bound, ash-scarred...read the complete Conan review at UGO
There are boobies in THQ's new action button-masher Conan. Lots of boobies. The "collection" portion that seems requisite for all action and adventure titles these days has the famed barbarian searching for half-naked slave girls chained to rocks. There...read the complete Conan review at IGN
