If you like a clasic RPG you will like this one

User Rating: 8.3 | Gothic 3 PC
Gothic 3 is a quite interesting title. This title generates alot mixed feelings about the total value, but it really depends on how you look at it. If you are a fan of die-hard action then you will hate this one, but if you like immense RPG's then you will love it.

The story is strait foreward, big evil guy, has big evil army, and you can kill him in any way possible. That's your standard RPG, big and alot of varieties. The gameplay is particularly great for an RPG, there are many many many, MANY diffrent ways to kill something. Stealth, Magic, and Swordplay are not your only varaeties. Part of this game is to stratagise, which if you don't, you will die fast, very fast.

The graphics are really great, they are ones to rival TES:4 Oblivion themselves! But there are countless bugs that need fixing in this game. You get stuck in obgects, walk through stuff, the water sometimes dissapears, and my favorite : the sun. The sun is the biggest bug in Gothic 3 and the most annoying, it seems that the sun can go through obgects now, houses, cliffs, and sometimes you get sun in caves. This makes the game best playable at nighttime (the only time you will never see the sun in your eyes)

The Sound in this game is really great, it may not be perfect but there is SO MUCH DIALOUGE!!! Which, again, brings up mixed feelings. Evrey conversation you will have even to say "Hi" will take over 3 minuts. The characters like to blab on and on and on and on.......

This game is particularly difficult. You will not start off easy either, in fact it is so difficult for n00bs that they made you immortal in the first mission. That's right, you can't die! Partail to the reson that you have to fight an army of orcs, but it can get ugly. The interactivity however is really awesome, there is nothing you can't do in this game (besides hide from the sun in daytime). People will loot your corpse if you are knocked out, people like you, dis like you, you can kill ANYONE you want to which is really great (and lacks in several RPG's I know of) and you can craft, steal, make meatshmallows etc...

The Last Word(s): This game is your standard RPG, there is arguably not too much diehard action. The gameplay is made for third person, the interactivity is awesome. The graphics rock, but it's really buggy! I would buy this game, because it is too big for a rent, Gothic 3 gets an 8.3 out of 10.
