    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.

'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."

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

    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.
