MMO fans tired of World of Warcraft had high hopes for this so-called WoW-killer. So it's too bad that its developer vastly overestimated its own capabilities. Though Conan had great ideas, like the innovative combat system, Funcom shipped the game months before it had ironed out the most glaring bugs or added enough content. Devotees who had spent months poring over every screenshot and snippet of information prior to release found the resulting product to be an utter mess. — Earnest Cavalli
