So now that most of you have a copy of Fallout: New Vegas in your hands, it's time to remind some of you about a similar RPG that came out at the same time. Arcania: Gothic 4 is a fantasy RPG that is relatively open ended and has you hunting down evil from sunrise to sunset. Can it compete against the legendary giant? We break down the game's strengths and weaknesses in our Arcania: Gothic 4 Review!

A solid musical score permeates the setting. From majestic adventure to dangerous and foreboding, the themes are varied and good quality. However, the voice acting… the voice acting. I don’t even know where to begin. It resembles something out of the early Playstation days where the developers brought in janitors and assistants to voice characters. It’s ugly. It’s bad. The dialogue is forced and makes it very hard to take the story seriously. When no one is talking, however, the music and sounds of combat ring true and the sound is great.
