[td bbfstd_normal]Nobody will be awarding Risen any trophies on its technical merits. Is that why you play an RPG, though? Or are you in it to explore a story in which you have genuine input over the outcome? Risen can be awfully frustrating on a technical level (though rarely broken, like Gothic 3 before it), but it’s a *** good RPG.[/td]

[td bbfstd_normal]In terms of content, Risen is nothing to scoff at. There are a good few hundred quests available, a whole bunch of items to either find or forge and, on occasion, you’ll come up against a genuine moral dilemma. It may not be pretty and may not feel at home on the console but if you honestly haven’t had enough of the genre you’ll perhaps be able to overlook the foibles and enjoy what Risen has to offer.[/td]

[td bbfstd_normal]The epicness of Risen’s size and scope overcomes most of our gripes, though, and on the PC this could be a 9 out of 10 – but since we reviewed the game on the Xbox 360, our score reflects the failure to implement console-friendly interface and controls.[/td]

[td bbfstd_normal]Risen provides the player with hours upon hours of role-playing goodness. A sign that you are playing a great game is when it becomes more difficult to put it aside for a couple of hours and this was certainly the case with Risen.[/td]
