Gothic II

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 1 / 1

Gothic II starts REALLY slow (almost painfully slow) and demands a large investment of playing hours upfront to get into the flow of the game, but the return on the investment is substantial. Great storyline, great intrigue, fun game to play. The play control takes some getting used to, the inventory system is a bit cumbersome, but a worthwhile game to play and own.

A must play!!

If you are familiar with gothic and gothic 2 then it's still worth it to rebuy for the expansion.
I own all three and the expansion pack makes it a totally different game.
A MUST have for all serious rpg'ers !!!!

Simple the best

I really, really wish I could write a good review for this game.

Unfortunately, I can't run it. Reason why? I have a firewall on my computer system. Advice from the company that makes it: disable the firewall. Sadly, with an "always on" internet connection like many people have these days (DSL, cable modem, etc), today that is simply not an acceptable answer.

Hopefully their next game won't have this fatal flaw. Oh, and just one star for me as well, for not researching this game better before I bought it. There's plenty of blame to go around.

A good first person shooter type game

Gothic 2 is a pretty good game as far as games along the first person shooter go. And that is what this game basically is, even though you use swords and clubs instead of guns. It's about like a lot of other games of this caliber I've tried. It isn't anything really special but, it isn't anything bad either. I would say it is a middle of the road type game for people who like this type of play and it is a lot of fun.

Awesome... with problems...

I am a Gothic fan *big time!* Unfortunately, this version (with the expansion pack "Night of the Raven") gave me nothing but fits. It would not install correctly. I did everything I know how to do to try & install it, but I kept getting massive errors & "can't find disk" errors. I did successfully install eventually, & played through the entire game 2 more times (for a total of 10). The Gothic series is worth adding to your collection if you are an RPG fan. I can't imagine having never played it now that I have... & will again.

Very good overall graphic, voices good, sometimes funny, sometimes sarcastic. PC Game should have a Readme file that gives maps, and walkthroughs

HI... tried ordering G2 gold edition online but it won't let me, and the retailers here don't have it in their data even. So, my only options are to get somweone I know in the states to get it for me, or to go there myself and try to get it. Gothic 2 ..gold edition- Night Of The Raven. Thats the one. Email me anyone who knows how to get this to me here in Victoria BC.

This game is so lively and imaginative it reminded me of Zelda and Mario more than anything in the computer world. Of computer games, only the original Deus Ex comes to mind as somewhat similar and on the same level. Some rarefied company indeed.

As you may have gathered from the other reviews here, you should spend a few minutes learning the combat controls when you start the game. Just save the game and use the first "young wolf" or goblin as the opponent, and practice parrying with one of the early bandits. With most enemies, parrying is useless and the correct tactic includes either crowding or dodging and timing your attacks (unless you're using ranged attacks or magic). Some of the dragons will be impossible to kill if you don't spend your "learning points" very well (or use some "tricks", like powerful magic scrolls), but otherwise this game set a new standard in gameplay which similar games haven't even tried to match or surpass. The combat system often makes you panic in a realistic way. The gameplay is frustrating only when you hit the wrong button or something. The bloodflies aren't the only things that made me experience feelings of horror mingled with disgust. I've hunted down an occasional disgusting bug in real life, and the feelings were the same. No other game has sent cold shivers of fear down my spine, and this one does so often. I recall I once ran into something in Deus Ex that literally made me jump backwards and fall off my chair, but that's different.

I didn't have any trouble with bugs, save that when Raven went through the portal the cut-scene crashed the game so I just didn't bother to watch it. That's the only crash I've experienced during some 60 hours of playing the game.

PS. This is a review of the German version of Die Nacht des Raben, with all the patches installed.
