I got to try an advance copy of Venetica for PS3 and it is ok...it will probably never be a franchise game though. The 3D map architecture is great, but without it they wouldn't sell a single copy in todays game market. The storyline is interesting enough to keep you playing, the controls are easy to learn, and the main character (Death's daughter, Scarlett) will make you want to keep playing to keep learning what powers she has ingrained in her "DNA". For a mid-level priced game, Venetica isnt all that bad. Most players will probably take the time to finish this game, and compared to some of the $59 (high priced) let downs that came out recently, Venetica really is a good buy for the $39.
Venetica is a diamond in the rough for RPG fans. It didn't get the positive reception it deserved I thought. I'm thinking if it had been a downloadable title it would have gotten more positive attention. The graphics are servicable, animations are smooth, and the world is unique. The skill trees and reputation system offer some variety. There's plenty of loot, puzzles to do, and some fun ways to customize the heroine as well. The combat is fairly typical action/rpg stuff but it has it's own feel which I enjoyed, the player is going to do better if they pay attention instead of button-mash. The voiceovers are suprisingly good in most cases and Venetica has a nice way of using its art style and just enough care in the writing to make the all the characters from shopkeeps to main story drivers interesting and memorable. A decent sized world map makes the areas fun to explore as well. If you like third person RPGs and aren't looking to be absolutely blown away with a huge scale production, Venetica is a fun experience for very little money.Read full review
Venetica is set in Venice for the most part, but Scarlett also travels to other parts of the world. Venetica’s Venice has improved greatly on the real 16th-century city with more dreamlike structures, canals, and dockyards. The game has a day-night cycle that transforms the city from a bright, colourful, and bustling metropolis to a dark and dangerous underworld of bandits and demons. There is a unique aspect to every location visited by Scarlett, and she has plenty of opportunities to wander around and explore as the game’s world opens up.Scarlett is equipped with a main quest that will take around 20 hours of gameplay to complete. There are also 50 to 60 hours of side quests.Like in most RPGs, Scarlett is able to choose how she interacts with other characters in the game. Acting morally or immorally will produce different endings, as well as shape her experience throughout the game’s story. Players can also choose to use offensive or defensive tactics, collecting different powers and weapons depending on the path that they’ve chosen.this is a very enlightening game and worth some time to play in my opinion.Read full review
