Impression of the patched version

Yes, the Xbox 360 version of Risen has flaws, unfortunately. Still, it's a good game that is just the Gothic 1 + 2 will please fans. It plays like its two predecessors, even though it can not quite match the level of the predecessor.

The Xbox version looks even after the patch enormously ugly. The textures are blurred in places and even the textures of Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 99 were sharper. Often you can also mist and water not even a few meters above differ. The object view distance is gerniger than the possible range of the arc. The brightness problem I had not now, but there are mean while a controller for the brightness. This I would have wished for the very sensitive control because the "look" with the right analog stick works so fast that it takes some time until the thumb is used to it. Otherwise you can make easy 2-3 complete 360 ​​° rotations about the character around.

And yes, even the font is tiny. I sit in front of my 1m 32 "HD TV. Further away you should not sit, unless you have real hawk.

I advise nevertheless to buy for those who do not have a powerful PC. The game is fun - with the shortcomings you have to live up.
