The Bottom Line:
"Almost, but not quite"
The excellent Gothic II continues, very good graphics, excellent shadowing, highly detailed textures, A well done look for the game , IF you have a monster computer. because the effectivity of the engine Is disasterous. they say the minimum is 512 RAM, Forget that. it is 1024. with 512 ram you can only hope not to go crazy with poor graphics, long waiting times and bad FPS, while In oblivion, for example, I was on MEDIUM with my 512 ram, and it looked 10 times better, But if you have the means, the games looks great.

The combat system Is as it was at Gothic 2, very good. the fights look great, with combos all over the fight, especialy with multiple enemies, It gives a cinematic element to the fight which looks very good, and it also requires skill and timing .

the amount of Bugs in this game is uncountable, nothing to say about that, from missing items and people to sudden flying in the air, and many many more iteresting and colorfull bugs, another release delay of like.. an year? would be reasonable to solve all of these.

the quests remain interesting and very cinematic and fun, many kinds of quests, from killing to stealing , escorting and more, very fun and interesting story line.

the new options to liberate cities is just perfect and the fights to liberate them are exciting, full of action and fun.

the world is big, many cities , many NPC and many possibilities, an all around good and fun game, but, the bugs, oh the bugs, and the somewhat amature making of certain details in the game, and the poor graphical engine along with the high system requirements can ruin your experience.

  5. A disappointing experience of spending hours visiting the same recycled caves and doing the same recycled quests. Shame.
