    This game was trying to be the challenger to Oblivion, but that"s like if a 7 year old tried to beat Mohamed Ali on the ring, it's not a fight but a massacre if you want to compare both games, but even when judging the game on its own, it"s terrible, let's see why.

    Technically despite some average graphics for the time, the framerate is horrible (and don't expect any patch 10 years later), as soon as you move it drops significantly which is already a pain in the ass and can stop you from playing the game.

    Concerning the gameplay the fighting is boring as hell and don't work great, but the other RPG mechanics are okay, the only good point of the game. The map is pretty big but also empty so you'll just walk most of the time. Once again hard to take any joy from playing.

    Finally the story is a basic fantasy story played by some of the worst actors I've ever heard in my life, honestly go watch some youtube videos they're so bad it's funny. If despite all this flaws you want to finish the game it will length at least 30 hours which is good for a RPG, but ends up way too long for this game.

    In conclusion this is probably the worst game I've played in my life, it's a pain to play, to watch and to listen, Even if you love RPG there's a lot of other options out there before you can even think to try this garbage, I read the second episode is way better, I guess I'll see, but this one is definitively bad.    … Expand

Graphics are poor, but that's not a huge concern compared to the other flaws. The interface reminds me of Diablo. As such, it is much better suited for a mouse. Trying to organize your inventory or boost a particular spell takes a long time, as you must awkwardly try to use the analog stick to select an object and, once you've found it, try to remember which button uses it and which button drops it. Malee combat is lame. I had a single combat animation that was promoted by tapping RT. Depending on the elevation difference between you and your enemy, 1/3rd to 1/2 of your attacks might hit. Magic is a bit more interesting to use, but not by much. The worst part in this panoply of failures is the voice acting. Yes, I know you're a small studio, but seriously, this game has the worst voice acting I've ever heard. Also, the subtitles often end in question marks even when the characters aren't asking questions. I tried to get into this game. I really did. However, the horrible voice acting and pointless combat mechanics forced me to send it back to the good folks at Gamefly. Note: I played this game right after finishing Bioshock, so maybe I got spoiled by quality.… Expand

    It's no wonder why we never saw any gameplay videos or no reviews out on the net before this game hit stores. Southpeak was trying to escape from the inevitability of this game sucking. Especially on the 360.

    This game is terrible. It is like a strung out wannabe version of Oblivion. Graphics look early x-box quality at best. The programing stinks, lock ups, slow downs etc. The voice overs are garbage, hard to listen too without puking. Very disapointing To sum this game up its total crap...avoid it.

    Are you all completely high? This game is an absolute tragedy. Anyone scoring more than a 2 on this game is working for South Peak or their PR and is attempting to skew a more favorable score. No matter how you want to spin this, Two Worlds is one of the worst games ever created. Ever. In the history of games. I'd rather eat glass.

I've had to fight with a horse for 30-45 seconds to get it pointed in the right direction, more than once while trying to run away from something *way* more powerful than me. Second, very early in the game I stepped just off the beaten path to investigate a chest in an abandoned camp and there just happened to be a wild boar near by. When that boar attacked me it kicked up such a ruckus that another boar and three gray wolves showed up. I was only level 2, and could barely have taken a single boar by myself! And it's like that all the time; you're constantly getting jumped by everything within draw distance, even when you don't leave the road! Maybe impossible to control horses and getting jumped by packs of roving wolves and boars while traveling a well paved road are more realistic than what I'm used to, but they don't make for a very fun game.… Expand

    I would like to tell you all the tale of the last half hour of my life. I just rented "Two World's" thinking "Hey, its like Oblivion but with dragons, I like dragons!" so I popped it in my old 360 and gave her a whirl.

'Tis a crappy game yonder heath fortnight. It rediculous. Then I started running around in a, cave? tomb? I don't know I was too busy laughing at the VO. The first thing you notice is the rock solid 10 to 25 to even -5 (don't ask me how its possible) frames per second and the god aweful controls. I couldn't even look up without the camera swinging wildly off to the side. And have the developers missed the whole analog control thing? Your guy is either jogging full tilt or standing still. Then my character glitched out while I killed two orcs and I ran outside. Outside I was all like "Hey, this is Oblivion except its not quite as good and it doesn't run, that's awesome!" ARGH! Then I learned that my awesome midieval warrior loved to get his ass kicked by wolves. seriously, my guy could take like, one hit and he'd spass out and fly backwards. ARGH! then By this time I had completely given up hope on this game being any good so I thought I'd try and get my moneys worth by exploring the world a little bit. So I ran (while being chased by orcs, wolves, and a yeti the whole way) through the forest to what was suppose to be some sort of glacier. You know... it's not even worth telling you the other 15 minutes. I'll just say that my adventure ended with me being chased along the side of a river by a pack of 10 raptor-bats, a handfull of the those backward legged aliens from "the arrival", a yeti, and a wolf all at a glorious 15 frames per second.

He also runs like he just got through with his first night in prison. The combat sucked on all levels, period, no questions asked. Yeah it's a big game, but crap is crap, even if it's a big crap.

    A lot of the positive reviews of this game remind me of a line from a Nirvana song: "I miss the comfort in being sad." Most of the positive reviews qualify their positive statements with the phrase "this game grows on you." Well sure, lots of things grow on you. Sadness grows on you. Your body learns to deal with pain. That something grows on you doesn't make the game good.

Your body learns to deal with pain. That something grows on you doesn't make the game good. It makes it, at best, average.
    I love RPGs, and it's rare that I don't like one. I wasn't expecting this to be Oblivion, just like I don't expect Shin Megami Tensei games to be like Final Fantasy. I try to keep an open mind when I play a game, but there were flaws in this game that, given enough time, may have grown on me. The sad reality is, at least for this review and my opinion of this game, is that I have better things to do than to spend 10+ hours waiting for my brain to adjust to bad voice acting, semi-broken combat, and one of the poorest user interfaces I have had the pleasure of wrestling with.

    This game would be worth struggling with if there were nothing else out that was worth playing. Hell, I finished Enchanted Arms last year because what else was there to do with an Xbox 360 a year ago? But right now, there's Bioshock out, and Blue Dragon just came out. I can't speak about Blue Dragon yet, but I can say for sure that Bioshock does not take a little while to grow on you. That game is compelling and excellent from the very beginning.

    Games are expensive these days. It's not like we're spending $19.99 to buy a game. If you're on a budget, which most of us are, save your money for something better. Do not buy this game. Or, do what I did, take it back to the place you bought it and see what they'll give you in store credit. Then use that credit to buy a game that's great right out of the box.    … Expand

It's a poor attempt at comedy. Furthermore, it reverts back to a poor skill system that, unlike Oblivion, forces you to decide on skills that you're not even sure you'll use, and advance them whether or not you do. This isn't helped by the fact that certain skills are 'must-haves' to enjoy the game without being annoyed, like Swimming and Horse Riding.… Expand

    Two Worlds feels like a very unpolished game to say the least. The characters are stiff and blocky. The voice acting is the worst I have ever heard on any RPG I've ever played, their voices and emotions don't even seem to change if they were saying something angry or if they were very sad!

The voice acting is the worst I have ever heard on any RPG I've ever played, their voices and emotions don't even seem to change if they were saying something angry or if they were very sad! The story right about now feels the same as any other RPG's story. The frame rate always seems to feel glitch even when your running around in the wild with no monsters running around and the game loads a lot to pop in the textures for the next part of the map! The combat doesn't fair much better either as its simply mashing RT until you finally kill the monster you were supposed to be fighting and the game also is very unforgiving and you will die a lot (this is not for the faint of heart)! Another huge gripe is the character animation as it looks very simple and not well done at all (when you jump you arms go out and you looks like your being crucified). But after all of these gripes there is still an RPG somewhere in there and the truth of the matter is that this game has some great ideas like the ability to combine to weapons or armours and improve their class or the potion making. For this I give the game a 3 because in light of all these faults its still an RPG and that if all these faults are forgotten and forgiven, it can be a good game (its just unfortunate I could see all these faults).… Expand

    I am permanently in a state of awe at people's capacity to give this game a good review. If games such as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion never existed then Two Worlds would be great, due to the fact that no one would know any better. But those games do exist and Two Worlds will continue to be hideously bad.

If games such as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion never existed then Two Worlds would be great, due to the fact that no one would know any better. But those games do exist and Two Worlds will continue to be hideously bad. Two Worlds is the guy that thinks a great fancy dress costume is wildly risky bodypaint, the massively inappropriate joke your Uncle tells at a funeral or that awkward moment when you've just broken wind in an empty lift and someone gets in on the next floor.

    Generally most videogames, however bad they are have something positive that you can mention. But this one literally fails on every level of composition. The music is bad, the voice acting is horrendous. One of the actors sounds like he is phoning the lines in from his garage at home. The writing is some of the worst i've ever seen, it literally assaults every aspect of my imagination. With the exception of some shrubbery and terrain, the graphics are horrendous. The character animations are sometimes terrifying, especially when someones arm or leg suddenly bends back and or extends for no apparent reason. At times it feels like you are in John Carpenter's The Thing, only without the directorial panache or engaging plot.

    There is literally no excuse for the way this game was made. There are budget titles out there at the moment which cost a fraction of the budget that this commanded and are 20 times better in every way. Two Worlds is a truly unforgivable game. Compounded by the fact that on it's initial release it was being promoted as something that could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with games like Oblivion. The marketing manipulated and paraphrased alot of critic reviews to make it seem more appreciated by the critic community which in my mind only makes this atrocity of gaming even worse.

    Avoid this game like that dodgy guy who sits next to you on the bus or train, despite it being completely empty.    … Expand

    If someone gives you a copy of Two Worlds, consider it your moral obligation to destroy it. The game's so broken that it's unplayable. The controls are awkward, even for an RPG, and the graphics are barely better than an original Xbox game.

And if that's not enough, here's the kicker: the voice-acting is GOD-awful, and there's a reason why. Reality Pump, the game's developer, didn't hire professional voice actors for the game; they used members of their own development team. That alone proves just how little thought went into this game. In short, playing this game is inconsequential, especially given the sheer number of far superior RPGs on the 360.… Expand

    Tout ici est en effet bricolé avec deux mains gauches, programmé avec le fion (taper avec le fion sur le clavier, on conçoit que ce n'est pas évident du tout et on voit les "résultats"...) et implémenté, organisé, pensé n'importe comment. On se demande si le "jeu entier" n'est pas simplement un troll, une plaisanterie un peu trop longue d'un mauvais goût certain ou s'il est l'aboutissement (!) d'une incompétence générale qui frise le génie en termes de production de navets périmés, dégueulasses et absolument immangeables...

    L'interface par exemple est un exemple frappant de non-sens, de même que la présentation globale dont l'ergonomie a elle aussi été jetée aux oubliettes (avec la clé) ; les combats (?!) on en rirait presque (après quelques vodkas) tant ils sont ridicules ; la VF est vraiment limite (même si on a entendu pire dans un certain jeu Capcon il me semble) et les graphismes manquent de lisibilité et de clarté (bien que là aussi, on ait vu bien pire mais on nage ici certainement en eaux troubles à cet égard !).

    Le pire en dehors de cette "histoire" à le petite semaine en guise de campagne principale (qui fait passer le moyen Oblivion pour un modèle d'écriture en comparaison !) c'est que ça rame sans arrêt, soit à vue de nez un petit 20 à 25 im/s des familles qui rend le jeu rapidement injouable en plus de filer la migraine. Sur la 360, je n'avais pas vu "ça" depuis Gothic Arcania, un autre portage console de goret ! Un épouvantable étron donc, à vraiment oublier d'urgence.    … Expand

Oblivion feels like it was written by a master of Fantasy while this feels like they hired a 2nd year English major to give it their best shot.

    By far the worst RPG I have ever played. It's boring, the graphics. dialogue is bland, it's boring, characters are uninteresting, story is generic and unoriginal, and (in case you missed it before) IT'S BORING! I actually fell asleep the first time I tried to played this. To be honest I would rather volunteer to be a cheese museum night guard than play this game again.

There are lots of monster to fight in the world which is good. But I hate this game for the combat. I can't get magic to work and there is no curser to use so you cant aim with a bow so you have to hope the arrow hit. Sword play consists of spamming right trigger and you view doesn't lock on so you can't target properly and you can't dodge so that sucks. The game could be better but as it is it's crap… Expand

    While I had enjoyed Two Worlds somewhat when I was younger, I believe that video games have advanced dramatically on a technical level since I first played it in 2007.

    Two Worlds is just about unplayable by today's standards. I think this is a shame, because I do remember enjoying it when I was younger - there are some RPG systems in the game that I think offer some level of enjoyment, and it is always nice to see an ambitious open-world action-RPG that isn't an Elder Scrolls game try to offer players something innovative. But despite its lofty ambitions, Two Worlds was a mediocre experience on release that is now utter misery to try and subject oneself to.    … Expand

    I hate this game. It's an embarrassment, a misfire in every respect. A game that thought it could compete with the big boys and ends up being one of the worst experiences you'll find on the 360.

    There's a lot to Two Worlds that will take you an eternity to complete. This is probably the biggest draw to the game that I can mention. It is one of those games that you can put down, wait a while, come back to it, and rekindle the enjoyment you had the first time around.

    It's rare that a game releases that is so shockingly incompetent. Online options don't make it any better; they're simply a chance to play a terrible game with other people, in a few innovative modes like "Team Deathmatch." When something this just plain malign comes out, it's cause for a sort of celebration, because every other game will seem better by comparison.
