    Default Is anyone going to buy Barbarian?

    This game looks cool as hell, but I thought the same thing about Circus Maximus and that sucked IMO. Has anyone heard anything on this game, or plan on buying it? I'm probably going to rent it first, but I really hope they do a good job on it.

    I think its 4 players. That part looks alright, kinda like Powerstone for Dreamcast.

    I thought Barbarian looked interesting until I saw Gamespot game the PS2 version a mere 5.9/10.0 (ouch!!!). I'm steering clear of the Xbox version now.

    OK.. I think Barbarian is that RPg that Virgin was making right? And it's coming out this month right? Yuck... not getting a lot of publicity. I never knew virgin even published games. This game doesn't seem to be very well known... and not many people are caring.

    This game is already out on PS2 and sucks major ass. It is definitely not worth your time and money.

    Dont believe me? Look Here.

    Average rating of 59%
    "Have you ever played Zelda, and you're like, 'Man, that game would be cool if the guy I just talked to hadn't said all that crap about fairies and light?' What if they said something that was good? I mean, it's not like a whole new genre to make games that have depth and a story."

    Well, that made my decision to rent it easy! I wasn't aware that it was a PS2 port, but after reading some reviews on it, I think I'll keep my sights on Gunmetal for now!

    Don't even bother renting this. Might be the worst game i have played in a long time. I'm gonna stop there because i think reviews say the rest.

    Well from what I have read...it suffers from slow controls, bland graphics, and some cheep AI. Since the game came out to ps2 hopefully they changed some of these things since the game looks pretty sweet!

    Definetely during work

    As far as this game goes, I doubt I would even look twice at it...the ratings make it look worse than Kabuki Warriors

    Hmmm...I'll give it some thought.

    After careful consideration... "NO!"

    Barbarian was release some time ago for the ps2, hopefully they got all of the issues fixed for the xbox release....IGN gave this game rave reviews, which is odd since they are more pro-xbox.
