Ultima 9 “done right” or a less formidable Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Gothic II is the RPG that many gamers have been waiting for, whether they realize it or not. After a long wait, Atari has brought Piranha Bytes’ largely freeform RPG to the US shores. Although little hype seems to have spread, Gothic II is just as deserving of gamers’ time and attention as any of 2003’s major RPG releases.
