Gothic 2 Gold: Review @ ActionTrip
   

ActionTrip serves up a <a href="http://www.actiontrip.com/reviews/gothic2gold.phtml" target="_blank">review</a> of Gothic II Gold. awarding a score of 85%:<blockquote><em>So, it's basically a classic RPG with all the standard nitty-gritty you'd normally expect. However, the main thing about Gothic 2 Night of the Raven is that the game is harder to play than the original Gothic 2. Foes are tougher and your character is generally vulnerable to attacks. Of course, as your character progresses, he becomes less susceptible to damage, but it takes time to get to that point. <br> <br>Actually, the game is very difficult at the beginning due to the somewhat clunky control mechanism and awkward combat system, which may take some getting used to. Once you get acquainted with the controls, there shouldn't be too much trouble. The overall difficulty and rather steep learning curve are the biggest drawbacks of Gothic 2 Night of the Raven that could easily ward off some gamers. My advice is that you stick with it, because once you get used to the gameplay mechanics, NotR becomes highly addictive and enjoyable.</em></blockquote>

This is exactly what I'm always telling people. Really hard at first - but give it 4-5 hours and its so rewarding. Nice synopsis!

This guy knows what he's reviewing as he states he's a rpg lover.
Not like this other reviewer from gameshark who does not even know how to spell rpg.

A very professonal and trutfull review. I'm glad to see that the reviewer really gave time and it can be seen from the first sentence. In addition any reader can clearly notice that the reviewer is a true rpg-fan.

This fellow deserves some respect because he understood that despite tricky controls and learning curve there is a splendid game underneath.
