For a long time the PC crowd has looked down on console games as inferior or simplistic and they maintain that cross platform games cater for the lowest common denominator. Perhaps the first console outing for the ArcaniA franchise will finally disprove that myth.

Arcania turns out to be a passable RPG, it has pleasant enough locations and plenty of quests to get stuck into, even if they do feel a bit similar to each other. The timing of such a generic release couldn't have come at a worse time however, and with Fable III and Fallout New Vegas also vying for...

Pleasant vistas and surroundings; Plenty of quests to find and complete; Simplicity makes it approachable

The story isn't compelling; The voice acting unappealing; Quests are very generic and similar

Parents need to know that Arcania: Gothic 4 is a fantasy role-playing game that focuses heavily on combat. That said, the fighting isn't gory -- players see only a small amount of blood.

Arcania is a difficult game to review. For the first few hours of play it took all my will to continue. The camera is wonky, movement feels awkward, and combat is uninspired and repetitive. On top of that the plot and dialogue is cliched.

This is a very good game, i was suprised. the graphics are decent enough and the gameplay is fine. There is a good variety of quests and side quests to keep you entertained.

Enjoyable game but not the greatest story, deffo worth while for people who like this Genre

My time spent with ArcaniA: Gothic 4 was more like spending time in a waiting room than anything else. It is bland, something to play just to finish it and kind of irritating. I really do not strongly dislike ArcaniA but am quite irritated by Gothic 4 .

A lot of people seemed to hate this game, maybe because the beginning really sucks and the story doesn't really evolve until the last 6-7 hours but Arcania: Gothic 4 was still enjoyable despite having a lot of problems.

As long as you're not expecting a game of the year class RPG, you're in for a very good time here. Graphics are kinda bad on the 360. But provides a successful overall gaming experience - an easy going and serviceable runner up to the recent great rpgs.

this is a nice simple rpg game, that has possibility to expand to better itself. i recommend it. the game require more flexibility.
