Gothic

Gothic 2 is much better but that doesn't mean that Gothic 1 is bad

Gothic 1 was easily one of the best PC RPG's in years when it came out in 2001. It has an evolving story-line that really does change as you make choices. The environment is large and it is quite a lot of fun just exploring and fighting in the dark-wooded areas between towns and villages. The story-line is fairly original and its particularly cool that the game doesn't lead you by the nose every step of the way.

The game is divided into story-chapters and more impatient gamers wont like the slow manner in which the game starts. Well, that's because they're impatient gamers .

Its certainly a game worth playing -- Its just that Gothic 2 blows Gothic 1 out of the water in every possible way.
