Arcania: Gothic 4 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Now I'm going to begin by saying I am a big fan of this genre. That being said I usually play every RPG that comes out. Arcania is just like some of the recent action RPG's to hit the stage recently, with much in common with the likes of Risen, Divinity III, Two worlds 1, and slightly Oblivion. In comparison Arcania is better than both Risen and Dvinity III hands down, aside from Two Worlds bugs it is still better than Arcania, the reason is Arcania is not very challenging, while there are lots of quest to complete it still seems a bit shallow. There are three sets of 30 relics to collect, but if you don't have a guide to there locations most gamers will never find them.
Character progression a bit bland, you can choose how you want to develop your hero but there isn't much to choose from in the skills menu. Strong Weapons and Armour are hard to find and enemy's don't really drop cool loot.
Graphically The environments are good looking but the character models are ugly, the women look like well men and the men look like ogres. there are all kinds of settings to adjust the textures but I couldn't figure them out and the manual didn't even mention them.

Anyways here's my Good, Bad, and ugly for those who just like the facts.

GOOD:
-It's playable.
-the games auto save, saves after every quest.
-Story is not bad
-Fills the RPG gap till something better comes along
-Combat

BAD:
-Voice acting
-Character models
-Not very long 25 - 30 hrs
-Skills tree is bland

THE UGLY:
-really bad frame rate, at time the game seams to chug. I suggest to install it to your hard drive before you play it seams to help.

All in all I like Arcania, it's not Oblivion or Two Worlds but its a good waste of time until sequels to those games come out. worth a rent if you like these kind of games, just don't go in with high expectations and you wont be disappointed.
