Not too long, and here are the last two paragraphs: Arx Fatalis is also an extremely good-looking game. It's hard to explain just how well Arkane have managed to recreate a menacing underground world; the feeling of dread and uncertainty as you tread your first steps through the catacombs is thanks to an astoundingly atmospheric darkness, punctuated only by flickering torchlight, which envelops you and draws you into the game. The textures are also absolutely superb and serve to compliment the extraordinary detail, which is consistent throughout the levels. It looks like Arkane are onto a winner here. It's unlikely that they're going to make any fundamental changes to the interface at this late stage, but as long as the rest of the game lives up to the promise of the opening sections then any niggles with the controls are likely to fade into insignificance. I urge you to keep your pennies aside for its scheduled second quarter release.
