Ring II

Factory Sealed Retail
Box
Nibelungen's Ring legend. The most famous
story from northern European mythology has captivated the hearts and
minds of millions, and the glory and beauty of that story has finally
found its shape in Ring II, the second and last part of the adaptation
of the four operas Richard Wagner. It is a strange, yet beautiful land,
matched only by the engrossing nature of the tale itself. It is the
ultimate link between the various worlds of Gods, Humans, Dwarves and
Giants, a universe in which the Ring ensures equilibrium and continuity
between all inhabitants therein. Even Wotan, master of the Gods, is
under its power.
Ring II is the story of Siegfried, Siegmund and Sieglinde's son, and
tells of how he was the one who found and conquered the Ring before
saving Brünehilde. And then, by betraying her, how he caused the fall of
the Gods reign, so that the Time of Human may rise. The particularity of
Ring II is not to have considered Wagner's operas as unique sources of
inspiration, but to have also looked for story materials in some very
ancient versions of the legend as Thydrek of Verona or Horny skin
Seyfried's saga, as well as directly from the Eddas itself. With
Siegfried's childhood itself under the microscope of the player, the
character's destiny entwines those who control it, and play an active
role in seeing his growth into the hero he is destined to become.
Like the first opus, Ring II is a magnificent and moving fairy tale, the
story of a child becoming an adult in a world ruled by unpredictable and
powerful creatures. An eternal legend of glory, love and sacrifice that
the art of Philippe Druillet, combined to Richard Wagner's music,
magnifies and passes on to our digital generation with a beauty and
refinement that few adventure games on the PC will ever approach.
