1. The 2nd version of game made interesting this time is that you actually have a companion to travel with, she/he helps you during battle and occasionally poke in a few lines while you talked to the villagers.

its not as great as the blockbuster rpg games eg. Skyrim, Wittcher 2, etc but it is still worth playing. The settings is fun too.

As you have probably seen by the previous reviews, there are some serious glitches. These glitches cannot be overlooked in the manner that they are portraying. In the span of 20 minutes, I died 5-6 times on the easiest difficulty for several reasons.

If there's one genre that the 360 has no shortage of, it's action-RPGs. From sci-fi to Skyrim , medieval to Mass Effect, the console is positively drowning in open-world adventures – there are just too bloody many of them.
