Conan: Demo Impressions for Xbox 360

conan1.jpgI’ll never forget the first time I saw Conan punch a camel in the face when he was hammered. Great stuff. This demo… not so sure about that.  The game does not hide from what it is, a very brutal, violent hack and slash.  There are some very cool combos and hacking limbs off is fun as hell. Yet, there are some glaring issues and the camera is a huge problem. You cannot move the camera at all, at least from the level you play in the demo.  This means that the background environments are going to bland as hell because you can barely see them.  You basically have no idea where you are going until you get there. To not have a 360 degree camera angle at this point makes no sense. Especially when you have to deal with enemies in the same plane.  The demo is short, ten minutes max if you know where to go.  This game could be fun, maybe when you can obtain enough rubies or ruples or whatever the currency is. I like the ability to pick up almost anything and wing it at someone.  Could be a fun rental, but as of right now. buying this game before some reviews come out might be a sixty dollar mistake.

    I was never sold on the game from the first videos I saw. And now that we know there’s no camera control (at least in the demo), the game gone off my radar

    It looks like a fun way to spend an hour hacking bodies up. I gotta download the demo.
