    It's absolutely the worse piece of software, game or otherwise, to come out in years.

    Great graphics and beginning levels, but the bugs and memory leaks make the game unplayable at times even on the best machines. Most promised game aspects are missing or crippled by bugs. It might be a good MMO down the road, but alot of community feel mislead and I'm not sure it will overcome that.

    I had high hopes for AoC, but Funcom delivered a bug infested, unfinished excuse for a MMO. I won't even give my buddy keys away to anyone(funcom charging 2.99 to download client for "Free Trial").

    Game in alpha/beta condition. Parts of game that are on the box are not in the game, not even the DX10 is in the game. Visit the games forum before buying, you will get a idea of the state of this pile of.

    A lot of good ideas, but fell way short. Game is crippled by FPS problems, crashes, and server disconnects. Wait before picking this one up. Game is NOT FINISHED!!!

    Awful game. Even worse support. Good graphics and some neat ideas but a pretty package around a box that was supposed to be a great gift is still just a crappy gift.

    Was fun at first but gets boring quickly after you get out tortage. past level 20. Still many horrible bugs so long after release, but don't just take my word for it, check out their general forums to get the general feeling of the players.

    Yet another MMORPG with a good-but-not-great combat system, tedious crafting system with poor rewards, and unbalanced PVP combat. The map is the standout feature that elevates this from a 1 - instantly knowing where to go for every quest saves a trip outside the game to look things up on a fan site.

    Horrible game company that tends to suspend their players at random and refuses to give players a reason (Except: Sorry, its extremely busy we can't answer)). I highly recommend to not deal with this company.

    Funcom games are also in general extremely buggy but every game does has its unique flavor. Its just that the company is too horrible that I can't recommend any of their games.

    A medicore game by a horrible company that disrespects its costummers. I highly recommend to look for another company that actually cares about its costummers without randomly banning them.

  1. This game marks the next generation of MMOs in many ways. It looks good, is very entertaining and plays very well. This is a journey well worth taking.
  2. It won't put WoW out of business, but then again, nothing will for a long time, and that doesn't mean this isn't a great game with tons of appeal and a hopefully more mature audience

    Age of Conan going forward should become a delightfully savage second home for plenty of howling on-line barbarians.
