I've never had much interested in Risen, but this looks so awesome.

If the step up for this is as large as the apparent one in Two Worlds I to II, then this game can achieve some greatness. The first one, quite frankly, was apalling on X360.

Hopefully the console port(s) will be better this time around.  Though so far the game has only been announced for PC.

I think it's a joke in regards to the theme of the game. Unless you did get that lol.

the first one was such a horror that i have nothing but ill will towards this heap of garbage.   the developers should have been taken outside in the middle of winter, stripped, tied to trees and left.

Want.

I loved the first one, its sense of adventure and danger was superb. Although I had the far better PC version, I understand the console one was awful.



Slimebeast on 20 February 2011

The first one was great. I give it around 8.5.

A piracy theme though, anachronistic much? Damn I hate guns and cannons in my fantasy games.

Still coz the first one was so good (not superb but good) I'm definately gonna check this out. And I haven't even read that list of new features (gonna do it now), maybe there's much stuff improved from Risen.
