Gothic 3 Review

The folks at Yahoo! Games have conjured up their own two-page review of Piranha Bytes’ Gothic 3, giving the RPG sequel an overall score of 3/5.

Gothic’s approach to the open-ended RPG is a good deal more compelling than Oblivion’s, and it surpasses it in other areas too. But if there was ever a game in need of a few more months of development, Gothic 3 is it. Is it worth slogging past all its foibles to get to the good stuff? At the very least, we’d advise you to hold out for another patch, because if Piranha Bytes can lick the game into better shape it’ll be one no RPG fan should miss. But it’s been out in Europe for some weeks, and there’s no sign of that yet.
