Gothic 3 Review

The folks at GameSpy have posted a surprisingly negative review of Pirahna Bytes’ Gothic 3, giving the RPG sequel an overall score of 1.5/5.

In the end, the greatest tragedy of Gothic 3 is that there are actual moments when what might have been comes peeping through the digital detritus. The basic design of the game is quite sound and if Piranha Bytes could clean the game up, it might end up becoming a classic. As it stands now, my nightmarish trip through the world of Gothic 3 made me want to send my disc on a one-way trip into an incinerator. Here’s hoping Gothic 4 turns out better, because this one’s a complete miss.
