There’s something about the Conan franchise that brings a smile to my face without fail. The sheer testosterone-fueled, immature male fantasy aspect of it all is certainly worth a chuckle. Conan is not a sophisticated man, but then, males generally aren’t. He drinks, he fights, he shags, and that’s about it. Somewhere along the line, a sorcerer or two pops up, Conan beats his head in, then it’s back to wine and women.
Nothing typifies the idea of base male gratification more than THQ’s Conan. There is nothing to this game other than carnage and breasts, and I’m not going to pretend that I don’t find that just a little bit brilliant. Especially in our politically correct age, the idea of what is at best, a completely male-focused, almost chauvinistic videogame being released is just a tad amusing.
But is the game any good? As a fan of brainless action games that require nothing more than hitting buttons until things are dead, I was certainly hoping so, and picked this one up with glee. Our very own Nick Chester did the same, and it is the thoughts of he and I that you shall get to read after the jump. Service us? Aye, and gladly.
