Venetica was developed by Deck13, the company which in Germany is best known for the PC point & click adventure games Jack Keane and the Ankh trilogy (these adventure games were very successful over here). Venetica is their first RPG, it was released last year in Germany for PC and 360.
German reviewers' ratings for the PC & 360 versions:

I'm still interested in the game and I'll probably buy it for PS3 if it turns out to be a a good port without bugs - the PC version had plenty according to reports - but this is not the first time I'm very disappointed with the strange release concept of German videogame publishers (dtp entertainment in this case).
We never had strong publishers like Infogrames or Ubisoft over here, that's for sure...
