Another Gothic 3 review has popped up over at GameSpot today, giving us a look at Piranha Bytes' latest RPG. Walking away with a final score of 7.6/10, they seemed to like it more then some other websites. Anyways, here's a bit on the game's combat system:

In addition, the combat and control schemes in Gothic 3 have been revamped to be much more accessible and to make more intuitive sense. Gothic 3 uses a simpler "one-click-performs-one-swing" system that makes combat a lot easier to get into, though parrying attacks with a shield doesn't seem as effective as simply dodging backward, which gives the game's melee combat a stick-and-move rhythm that requires you to dodge back from your enemies and weave in to swing your sword. It may seem a bit shallow, but it's not the only option; you can also choose to bring a bow or, later in the game, sorcery into battle. You can get into ranged combat with an easy-to-use first-person shooter interface that lets you point and shoot at your foes.
