wow i think this is the lowest scored game you have reviewed. I'll remember to avoid this one. Seems like a cool concept, just a broken game.

Venetica the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, versions were released in North America on January 18, 2011, and is published by DTP Entertainment and developed by Deck13.
The story of Venetica takes place in the 16th century, and death is a physical beingwho follows the way of a group called the Corpus and every generation they must select the successor to death. The game takes place after the council chooses a necromancer to control death and he decides to bring havoc and destruction to the whole world. The necromancer has immortalized himself through the current death and the corpus and they cant stop him, the only one who can is Scarlett ( you )who is the daughter of death, who must grow her powers and save her father who is death, and the world from the necromancer.
Venetica is a action rpg with a few twist added in.Scarlett the daughter of death is armed not only with conventional weapons but also has the power to intersct with the spirit world. As you progress through the story you unlock other abilities wicj allow you to use powerful spells. One particular unique feature in the game comes in the form of ``twilight energy´´ an energy pool wich allows players to get a second chance and resurrect in combat should they die.
Unfortunately for ever great part of Venetica is equally opposed by some broken desighn or broken feature while combat can be fun the camera always gets snagged on the player or a wall etc, most of the loot to be found is almost always gold and takes away from the excitement of finding something cool, and gaining new abilities means making long journeys to the citys central district, to locate a trainer and this can become annoying after the fourth or fith time.
So bottom line is the biggest problem with Venetica lies in its overall presentation and the current state of console rpgs this is unforgivable, the graphics lighting is decent and the art work is nice, the unstable frame rate is bothersome. The sound, the music is generic, and the voice acting is rushed. Thr game control good but the camera flat out sucks, the game is not bad but definitely has its share of issues the map desighn is poorly done, and the quest tracker will have you wondering what the hell is going on lol. Players who can get past the bad will find an enjoyable action rpg with a interesting story and some very unique moments, its not a bad game but with so many real good rpgs i cant recommend this one.
