6.0Ultimately, Age of Conan has a mountain of potential, and while the same can be said of many other MMORPG also-rans, Funcom does have experience in righting the ship and building a successful product following a less-than-stellar launch.

About
Based on the events and characters of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Cimmerian stories, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a fantasy themed massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that immerses players in a dark, expansive universe filled with ground-breaking brutal combat, dangerously intoxicating magical abilities, and the social and cooperative game features that MMORPG players crave.

- Game Trailers8.5...may have a ways to go before entering an age of refinement, but when that time comes it’ll no doubt find its place as an online world power
- IGN7.8Funcom succeeded on several fronts with their much-anticipated MMORPG. It's got a different, enjoyable gameplay style, offers a free-for-all PVP experience that fits with Robert E. Howard's fiction and boasts outstanding audio and graphical packages.
- Games Radar+7.0While there’s always the possibility that Funcom will allow us to skip Tortage altogether one day, perhaps introducing another city and storyline in a paid-for expansion, we’re not sure how likely that is. And preventing players having even a modicum of choice is a mite silly - even the nine year-old EverQuest let players begin in more than one area.
- Cheatcc8.0Age of Conan is, without a doubt, a very large game. With features like guild vs. guild siege combat that have yet to be experienced by the players, there is a lot left to review. And, as with all MMOs, every patch and update means the game will constantly be improved, tweaked, and refined. It is reasonable to believe that many of the glitches and bugs present in the most recent version will be weeded out with time
- Game Watcher7.7Age of Conan does a fantastic job of bringing Robert E. Howard’s world of Hyboria and Conan alive to the online community but Funcom have still got a way to go before matching others in the market just yet, before realising the barbarian King’s dream: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!” Now that’s my kind of Royal.
