this collection is awsome! might need a walkthrough though, the puzzles can be challenging. the music is great, to me the graphics are for the most part very enjoyable, except for the first two games in cga, and the combat is exiting and well paced. to finish these games is satisfying if you do it on your own, and if you use a walkthough it still feels good to know you completed them. all in all, these games are inovative gems that can't be missed.
I didn't play much of this game, but lets face it, I LOVE GOTHIC SERIES and games where you wander around in third person with a sword. now i did find the game to be rather challenging when i played the demo, normally i hate a challenge but considering how many great games require a little trial and error, i figured i'd better get on board. the graphics in the game where a little dissapointing, they were too smooth it didn't look natural. the voice acting is terrible. surprisingly, despite my gripes i really loved what i've played so far of the game, and i highly recommend it(also, check out gothic 1 and 2 and of course, Risen which is practically a gothic sequel)
