“conan” on xbox360 is just what you expect, an ordinary button-masher with too much gore and too little clothes for the women you rescue. of course, this was a logical step - “so, we’ve got severed limbs and cut off heads along with skimpy costumes for the girls, but how can we seperate us from the rest?” “ooh, i’ve got it, forget skimpy costumes, they’ll just wear a belt”. and the belt-thing is no exaggeration. i kinda wish it was.

so, apart from questionable character design there are the same opponents over and over again (well, the animals differ, but from a playing-perspective they’re all the same too). and just when you thought “thank goodness they didn’t try to integrate some jump’n’run parts into it” - you’re faced with a jump’n’run passage. but for 10 euro it’s still fun. reminds me of “fallout brotherhood of steel”. oh, don’t get me started on this game…
