An RPG player
Although I rated this game at 5 stars, it does not mean that the product is perfect. Let me explain. Voice acting is below par. Dubbing some characters with assorted local American accents is odd and inappropriate, to say the least. The game becomes... more

Excellent and underrated
I just finished playing this game and found it surprisingly good. Actually, it's one of the top 3 computer roleplaying games (RPG) that I've played (along with Morrowind and Baldur's Gate 2). Although it can be a bit frustrating in places, Gothic 2... more

Worst Controls Ever
I've played dozens of PC and console graphical RPGs, and this one has the absolute worst graphical interface I've ever seen. I bought it because of the good reviews, but shortly after installing , I quit struggling with the controls that aren't logical,... more

Still the Absolute Best Single Player RPG Out Now
There is no better single player RPG out in the market right now that comes close to being as good as this game. This is both my number 2 RPG of all time and my number 2 game of all time. I too heard about some of the problems from the game and stayed... more

Gothic II Review
Story: 5/5

/-.5: A lot of the story elements in Gothic 2 are taken from stories already in existence, i.e. Dragons, Orcs, Seekers...

/+.5: ...but the other bits and pieces of the story more then make up for it. more

Quite possibly the best RPG ever!
Gothic II is the embodiment of RPG perfection. With spectacular graphics, amazing level design, (one of its best attributes), and a very nonlinear storyline, Gothic II outshines its original by far. When I bought Gothic I several years ago, it was widely... more

Amazing
Simply the best. Incredible immersive atmosphere, great leveling system, great combat and literally 1000's of spoken lines of dialog. Like Morrowind You can break from the main plot for days and find some really great areas. In fact, my favorite find... more

Exceptional game, with some irritating flaws
Aside from the Elder Scrolls series, few games offer the degree of freedom you enjoy in Gothic 2. You can explore a vast, realistic world at will, meet a host of strange and unique creatures and individuals, and (naturally) kill them. There are numerous... more

Ultima7 Reborn in 3D, a Perfect RPG
Gothic 2 is perhaps the greatest 3d adventure game that I will ever play. I have been waiting awhile to write this review b/c I first wanted to finish the game. But this is no game, it truly is a virtual adventure. The environment of the game is incredible.... more

one of my favourite rpg
this game is all about atmosphere and it does the best job when compared to others. other rpgs might have better graphics or controls in combat but this game is the one that you wont forget. and of course if you are too lazy to give the game a chance... more

Gothic 2
The price is right, and the game play is excellent. It is very hard at first so save often, but you will be swept away, and play for hours and hours.

Terrible, get Morrowind instead
Plainly put, this game sucked. If I could give it 0 stars I would. The load times were horrible. The interface is impractical. The combat system is awful. You have to push 2 or 3 different buttons just to do a simple attack. If you haven't played the... more

??
I have played nearly every major single player RPG (and some wierd obscure ones for that matter), and this game is the best out of all of them.

GRAPHICS:
The graphics in this game are very good but not perfect. The world detail is truly amazing... more

One of the best RPG's to ever hit the gaming world...
For true fans of role-playing games who are tired of linear worlds where actions are determined by the no-choice plots of profit-minded programmers, there is good news.
Like Gothic (1) before it, Gothic 2 invites the player on a journey into a gaming... more

Really good RPG
Like some of the other reviewers, I wasn't really into this game at first. I kept playing because it intrigued me that the first offered "quest," which in any normal RPG would begin the storyline, actually gets your character killed about 15 seconds.... more

deeper than the ocean
If you've never played the original Gothic and you like CRPG's at all, you owe it to yourself to try this game. The game world is very much alive, and moreover, it feels like it has a history - as if the world really did exist long before you came around.... more

OK, but not great
Okay, let's get this straight: a guy, a few rows down, states that he doesn't like this game so much because there are swear words, and according to him swear words didn't exist during the Medieval times, when in actuality, they did. The "F"... more
