This is a very good review. I’ve been playing Risen since it came out and my character has attained level 8, and I’ve upgraded my weapons and armor. The game story line goes linear at the beginning, but the game open up later. Then you can tho what ever you want. For me this game is far better than Oblivion.

Greg – AAAAAhhh, now you know what we felt when we played Gothic 1 8 years ago and Gothic 2 and its expansion 6 years ago : ).Piranha Bytes are the best fantasy world builders in the industry.

I’ve actually picked this game up now and I’m about 7 or 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is side quests, I’ve barely even touched on what’s really going on in the main story, and yet I can’t put it down. There’s an addictive quality to it that I just can’t explain, there’s a bunch of really obvious flaws in it, mentioned in the review, but it really appeals to me for some reason.

Texture detail is enormously higher on the PC, for a start. Other than that, the interface issues on the 360 version can be pretty much eradicated by assigning shortcut keys, thus eliminating the need for trawling around various sub-menus to get to where you want.

After reading the review and the comments I’m really tempted to get Risen, its sounds really interesting and obvious passion fan have for it, based on the comments, makes the temptation even stronger.

Can anyone tell me what are the main differences are between the PC and 360 versions? Why is the 360 version considered inferior?

Lewis’s review makes Risen sound nothing short of fascinating. I’m really tempted to pick up the PC version.

(Oh, to expand on 7: that said, I did try to approach this from all angles. That *was* the angle. Hence the conclusion. Hence the recommendation to read lots of reviews and see which fits. Hence the admission that I’m not sure how to judge the game. All in the name of clarity and fairness, eh?)
