Gothic

"Hard, Different, Excellent"

OK, i've written a few reviews for games, and this game has no review at the moment. I'm surprised that this game hasn't been reviewed by any of the big gaming sites either, because it brings something to the table that no other RPG game out there for the PC does yet. This game lets you interact with tons of NPC's and the game fighting is unique from other RPG's i've played.

Audio - 6 - not much here, same as most of the other games, some of the fighting sounds are cool, and also when other people yell at you for sneaking in their homes, that's kinda cool too. :)

Story - hmm... that's a hmm dinger. i'll give it an 8. Very original. So far, i've never seen any story like this, but if u look at the outline of it, is the same as every RPG. Just wish the story would unwind more in the game. But hey, it works, i'm not complaining, am i? well maybe a little.

Graphics - 8 - Not that great - but not that bad either. They work for the game, and graphics and audio usually aren't the reason most people play games.

Gameplay - 10 - EXCELLENT! the learning curve can be VERY steep. To be honest, i HATED the game at first, thought it was boring. but then i had 4 or 5 hours to burn, so i read the manual a couple times, booted up my computer (i'm spoiled just to let you know, well, that's what my parents say), and started the game up. Took me a while to figure out how to fight well, and then i completed some quests, learned some skills, and before i knew it, i was Loving this GAME!

Buy - Depends, if ur busy, and only play games like Red Faction in ur free time, cuz they don't take that long, don't buy the game. But, if ur like me and are in school, and have christmas break ahead, you might wanna try it. Cuz u'll have plently of time to waste. SO BUY IT RIGHT NOW. FINISH YOUR SLICE OF PIZZA, SUCK IN THAT GUT, RUN TO THE STORE, AND BUY IT. or if ur like me, eat a couple more slices, sit in front your computer, and then buy it.

Overall - 8
