Video Game Reviews of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Customer Review: Didn't live up to the hype
Summary: 3 Stars
I had been hearing about this game for years through the internet and friends. I was really excited to get it and start playing. As soon as I got into the game I realized it's just another WoW clone with a gimmicky combo attack scheme, I feel that FFXI did that much better 5 years ago or so. This game is nothing new, and it seems more like a beta version, not unlike Hellgate:LondonCustomer Review: no single player
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a MMORPG. Even though reviews and product literature makes reference to a single player campaign in addition to MMORPG game play, in fact there is no independent single player mode. You must still create an account with the MMO outfit, use their internet servers any time you want to play, and accept a recurring charge against your credit card, in order to get started. Additionally there is no option for enjoying the free 30 day play you get with a new key. You must sign up, give a CC, play, and cancel when the 30 days are up in order to avoid a charge. How lame is that?Customer Review: Included game time
Summary: 5 Stars
Didn't see included game time in the product info anywhere, so I bought a game card as well. Turns out the game comes with 30 free days of play, which I suppose is industry standard these days. But I thought I would add this information. Customer Review: Only problem is: The customer service

Customer Review: Buyer beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is less a review than a warning. First of all, buying this game in used condition is utterly pointless - unless you want to buy it as a coaster, because that's what you'll get. Once activated, it's useless. Welcome to the world of modern PC gaming!
One another note, trying to get this game patched is a matter of utter frustration. I've never experienced such a problem trying to patch a game. Disconnect after disconnect. The patching program is clearly unstable. Do a search for "Age of Conan patching problems" to read more stories.
I think this game had great promise, but failed to live up to it.
