Strategy Informer enters the ring with a 6.3/10:
Lacking in polish and attention to detail, Risen still stands up as an absorbing and hugely playable RPG title. The PC version is inarguably superior to its console counterpart, this Xbox 360 iteration feeling somewhat unfinished and unrefined. Yet, for a sophomore console effort, Piranha Bytes has done a solid enough job in adapting an intricate role-player for Xbox 360, which bodes well should the dev decide to bring future releases to the platform.
While Games Xtreme goes with a slightly higher 7.5/10:
Despite those annoying bugs and some short comings, Risen is a pretty solid RPG that deserves at least a place on your shelf. You won't be done with it any time soon and it's a pretty big game in terms of things to do and quests, whilst the actual land isn't massive really it's still packed with content and should keep you occupied slaying monsters and rescuing dragons from damsels for quite a while.
