 Amazon sucks May 21, 2008
9 out of 23 found this review helpful
The game appears to be very nice in every way. Amazon just informed me today that "it could not find the product I ordered". So nice to inform me of this after the game has come online. The purpose of pre orders is to get the game when the game comes out (or within the 3 day early access period). Thanks for nothing. Now apparently the price is about 50 bucks more than the pre order price and I don't see any hint of the bonus stuff I was promised...... I ordered it over a month ago and they wait until today to send me an e-mail.
 AoC: A Refreshing Addition to the MMORPG genre May 21, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Age of Conan is hands down the most beautiful MMORPG on the market, and most likely will be for the forseeable future. Funcom has pushed the tech envelope with this game, which will cause some people heartache because they may not be able to run it with all the bells and whistles. I am running AoC on an Intel C2Duo e6600, 8800GT with 3 GB on Vista 32 on high settings and getting 40+ FPS and no lag. Here are the features that set AoC apart from the other MMORPG leaders:
-Incredible voice acting
-Excellent Celtic soundtrack
-Best visuals of any MMO, and even bests most non-MMO RPGs. Spell effects will floor you.
-Character creation that rivals Oblivion
-Great classes unlike you've seen in other MMORPGs. Priest classes in this game don't sit back and heal. The Priest is on the front line with the tanks basking in the glory of combat. Rangers, Assassins, Barbarians, Tempest of Set, every class unique and fun to play.
- Mature rating makes for some great quests. The quest system is great and the quests very fun and dynamic
- Combat system is the most involving in the genre. You can't get up to use the bathroom in the middle of a raid in this game! Fatality animations are INCREDIBLE and really make for a fun PvP experience
-You can choose to solo (best do that on a PvE server) or run raids and PvP matches in group. Great content no matter which type of player you are
- Creates the true feel of Robert E. Howard's world. Conan lives on in this game!
Needs work:
- UI a little clunky, Zboard or G15 keyboard is recommended but not necessary to enjoy the game
- Crafting system is a little weak
Good news is both of those issues can eaily be addressed. I have not had this much fun playing an MMORPG for many years. If you are a fan of the genre and have the PC to run it well, you don't want to pass this game up.
Dissapointed and Upset May 21, 2008

The second falls onto the shoulders of the online companies where the game was pre-ordered from - the companies did not provide the pre-order keys to the customers until EA was already closed out. Amazon provided the keys right away so there wasn't much worry with Amazon falling into this group. (This was stated by someone else)
Yeah right, I pre-ordered back in March, never received any pre-order key. Amazon still hasn't responded to any e-mails, and I might receive something by June 9! WOW, this is horrible service. And because of this I will never order thru Amazon again.
 Thanks for nothing Amazon May 21, 2008

As the person before me said... the game is great... Amazon is not.
Thanks for nothing amazon. I preordered this weeks ago and now you "cant locate the item"?
Buyer beware... DON'T TRUST AMAZON WITH YOUR PREORDERS
Worse still is that since the limited edition is sold out I may never be able to get my hands on it due to Amazon's incompetence
The Game is great..Amazon Sucks! May 21, 2008

The game is aeverything it claims to be. Amazon's business practices leave a lot to be desired. First off, if you are considering preordering anything from Amazon DO NOT! Amazon does not hold up their end of the bargain and will leave you less than satisfied in the end.
BUYER BEWARE!!! DO NOT PREORDER ANYTHING FROM AMAZON!
