    If you don't expect much from it, you'll have a pretty good time with Venetica. However, without the patience to figure out quests and gameplay elements on your own, you'll end up incredibly frustrated.

    A compelling enough adventure spoilt by shonky controls and shonkier visuals. [Feb 2011, p.93]

    Think Syfy original movie. [Mar 2011, p.98]

    Venetica contains hints of a compelling quest but feels like its development life was cut short. The end result is a potentially grand concept that just can't flourish within its forced, generic confines.

    This is a brilliant game. Oke, the graphics are not great but the story is very involving. Lots of side quest also to keep you very busy. It is like being Lara Croft in de dark ages. All in all very good work from the developers. Just go out and play this game if you like RPG. Expand
  2. I got this game for $25, and i am having a great time playing it, it has some flaws like frame rate stuttering every now and then but for the price i cant complain, the graphics while not the best arnt that bad definatly better than risen on the xbox and the sound is on par with other budget rpgs, if you are a fan of adventure rpg games or nice well crafted fantasy worlds you should not look past this game espically if you see it cheap, overall this is a good game if you can over look some flaws theres alot to like here and fun expireance to be had.

  3. Nice RPG that kept me intrigued for weeks. The graphics though not great did not detract from the fun I had and overall game experience. It was recommended to me and its a shame it has such a bad critic score. I liked the side quests, they often tied in later to the game. I felt like the developers respected me as a player offering even more depth than Fable and your special powers are cool and nice range of fighting/combat choices. Lots of loot. There was so much to like about Venetica. If you don't follow the herd, this game is for you. Expand
  4. Not the best rpg in the world and certainly not the worst. All in all very short review for this one. Would not spend hard earned money on this product. See yaaa. Expand
