Game Revolution: Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Review

Game Revolution writes: "It is hard to encapsulate Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures in a few paragraphs. Drawing from Robert E. Howard's most famous work - the setting and the characters - automatically paints a world of "might making right", of personalities of such magnitude that their every motion shakes their world in mirth or anguish. Communicating that in a game is not a trivial proposition: How do you set players into a world that ripples with the extremes of their play?

Age of Conan approaches this problem by placing players into a free-for-all of biblical proportions. Wandering the desolate realms of PvP servers, it quickly becomes clear that there are few ways to thrive without a guild to protect you. This is not unusual for MMOs, but in a game designed to be in a setting that takes place in the solitary strivings of Conan's world, where the strong kill the weak for the simple joy of it, it's schizophrenic. The language, the art, and the storyline evoke a world of individualistic triumphs and defeats, but yet it tries to push you towards co-operative play."

+ Engaging melee combat
- Dull, same-y combat for caster classses
+ Fairly level PvP
- Poor UI support for PvP
+ Excellent visuals
- Painful system requirements
- Crafting is a nightmare
