Besides the piss poor performance and buggy engine game has some decent single player actually. I will try to finish when I get time. I like how bodies stay, mobs dont level up with ya, and some of the fun side quests. The character advancement system is very nice too you dont have to pick a Class.… Expand

    I feel like I should hold off on giving this game a score until I've seen the story unfold more, but there are so many hasty flaming reviews that I want to add a more rational critique in case someone is scared away from the game.

It's not Oblivion, but considering the scope the genre demands it is a fairly impressive debut. There are a variety of issues holding it back from greatness -- the voice acting, the clunky menu system, the lack of instructions in the instruction manual, the lack of a hard-copy map! -- but the most glaring one is its performance. It's choppy and people walk through trees and walls, etc, but I have yet to encounter any game-crushing or system killing bugs, a la Morrowind. So if you were able to enjoy Morrowing despite it's bugs, you should absolutely give TW a try -- but keep in mind that this is just the first installment in what I hope will become a series, not the third or fourth, so it's missing some of the subtle touches that make the TES games so engrossing. The voice acting is appalingly bad, but I think it's hilarious. It takes me out of the game, which is bad for an RPG, but it's good-B-movie bad rather than BAD-B-movie bad, so you can actually get something from it. The item customization is a nice touch, and there are some very cool attack spells -- just not as many of them as I'd like. The world is enormous...it handily dwarfs Oblivion...with a great variety of environments. Unfortunately, the pop-in is pretty atrocious -- random shoots of grass spring in to existence literally at your feet. It's much worse than Oblivion in that respect. I don't find it too distracting, however -- but I had no problem forgiving Oblivion or even Morrowing their faults, so take that however you want to. Basically, there are only two things which have actually made me frustrated while playing the game: first, the lack of a paper map (the on-screen map is incredibly difficult -- though not impossible -- to navigate), and second the fact that spells occassionally don't work. There may be a reason for this in the manual somewhere that I haven't seen, but often in the middle of battle I have to pull the trigger four times to cast a spell -- if I don't die before casting it. Other than that, though, it's a totally decent substitution for the next Elder Scrolls game. It's not a great game, but if you're in to the genre you won't have any trouble getting lost in the world of TW for hours at a time.… Expand

    It was ok I guess. I've certainly played better. I liked story better then Oblivion, but not as much as morrowind. Yes the graphics were crap, but when you consider my all time favorite RPG ever is the Baldur's Gate saga, graphics don't mean much.

    Not as bad as people say. The UI is very confusing and the voice acting is very bad. However, underneath is a fun game that brings back some of the joy of Diablo with an open world like Oblivion. Not as good as either, but it is fun once you get the hang of it. I'll enjoy it until mass effect is released.

    Two Worlds is a game that wants to be great. It has a huge map, lots of things to fight, more weapons and armor than you can shake a stick at. However, it falls flat on almost everything. The map system is irritating to use at best. Some quests can't be completed for no reason what so ever. The voice overs are terrible and the script is ever worse. Character creation is shallow and Two Worlds is a game that wants to be great. It has a huge map, lots of things to fight, more weapons and armor than you can shake a stick at. However, it falls flat on almost everything. The map system is irritating to use at best. Some quests can't be completed for no reason what so ever. The voice overs are terrible and the script is ever worse. Character creation is shallow and has far fewer options than most other RPGs out there. The frame rate chugs along at around sad 10-20 fps in the wide-open world, but moves up to a nearly motion-sickness inducing 60fps when you go indoors. The graphics themselves are somewhat bland and every village, dungeon, and acre of scenery you pass will look sickeningly familiar. The only real saving grace is the open-ended character building. You don't pick a class like in other RPGs, but rather you get to build the character from the ground up, as you see fit. This does give you many options, like warriors, mages, archers, thieves, rogues, or any combination therein. The combat is mostly one-button over and over, but you can use special attacks, switch weapons, and spells on the fly using the d-pad hotbutton system, which is surprisingly handy. I only built a straight-up brawler, so I can only comment on the hand-to-hand combat. Different enemies are weak against different weapon-classes, which does lend some thinking to what kind of weapon you'll need for a fight. You can't very well use a weapon that does 650-1200 piercing damage against a skeleton. What's there to pierce? Multiplayer is a total write off. Overall, Two World is a game that wants to be great, but just can't pull it off.… Expand

What I find unpolished about this game I can tolerate. Overall I would actually recommend this game because it heavily succeeds as a role playing game the only question is will you tolerate some of its aspects. Lets get this out of the way....the voice acting is pretty cheesy and low budget, the graphics of character close ups are not really all that good, there are times your character gets stuck and the game on occasion does hang. This normally would really tick me off however this game succeeds in bringing forward an extreme amount of customization and the pacing of the looting is outstanding and therefore role playing and the pacing is fabulous. I can forgive the low graphics and voice acting because this is compensated for by having an immense world, tons of weapons, creatures, and playstyles which all work within the parameters of the game. I will take this customization any day as it makes this game so fun to have all these choices and have them work fairly. Want to truly feel like a thief you can. Wan't to truly feel like a wizard you can. Want to feel like a badass warrior you can. The game allows so much options to be what you want and go where you want any time you want. . The game has tons of quests and is completely open world. Yes I heard there are problems with quests sometimes however being open world as the game is i can forgive these problems a lot more than if the game was not so open world. There is so much to do and so many quests it really isn't an issue. The game allows many save files so its all workable....just save a lot of different files. Combat can be a little silly at times but considering all the different playstyles the game offers I can cut it some slack. I actually appreciate how much effort must have went into making the games playstyle possibilities all work out ok so I can easily forgive these problems which to be quite honest are not that bad, just not that great. There are disc pauses to reload again this is not great but I'm not going to be a crybaby it only pauses a second or two at most. Getting stuck well yes i got stuck with my character alone and on horse on rocks or steep terrain pits. I can forgive this too as if I truck my horse into a rock I kinda am an idiot its meant for the path. And terrain well there is some argument there but again the gameworld is huge. I don't like it but again with so many game saves and knowing these problems in advance it was easy to work around. Now I want to tell people if you can put up with these things which in most regards are more quirky than gamebreaking this is an gem of a game. There is a nice assortment of enemies and the customization and pacing is among the most unique and fantasy fulfilling good time you can expect from a game. With such a huge world and the ability to loot in such a choatic order based where you are in the game this game delivers a solid fantasy experience and a lot of games don't come close to fullfilling immersion nearly as well as i experienced playing this game. I loved it. So, know what you are getting into and prepare yourself and I think this game could work out. All the low reviews here made me think twice about playing this game. I had terrible expectations and was surprized by have an excellent experience with the game. Yes it has some last generation qualities but to be honest i found this game more solid than a lot of newer titles these days.… Expand

So the positives.. There aren't too many. I like the combat even though you can dodge everything, the magic kind of sucks, but attacking with just sword and shield isn't too bad. The crafting kind of blows too, I just throw stuff in there and do it just to do it. Enchanting weapons is easy but is pretty dumb. I did notice one thing though and someone get back to me on this.. Is the main character in love with his sister? Like.. They seem like the want to bang all the time when they talk and she's wearing some super revealing clothes. I understand she is like the only women in the world in this game but it was pretty creepy how he talked to her.

One thing that two worlds really delivers on is customization there are 565 different armor SETS(Helmet, Armor, Gloves,Boots) yes you heard me right 2260 different pieces excluding mage robes and other pieces like orc helmets and orc armor.Also with my 150+ hours put into two worlds i found no known legitimate level cap which is great because you have the freedom to customize a character to exactly fit you rather than be limited to 15 or 30 levels like in some other RPGs.There are 38 skills to choose from but some of them don't have a purpose like Unhorse Strike (since no AI even on the hard difficulty use horses) Deadly Pirouette Strike in which your character gets on one knee and spins his sword like a helicopter blade with barely any effect . and Swimming which improves swimming speed even though you unlock the ability to activate teleports one hour in making this skill useless.Some are necessary like lock picking yet the lock picking is horrible its probability no mini game or real player input just press A and you may or may not unlock the chest. two worlds has multiplayer while its a bit more fun with friends the nonexistent crime system and insanely hard lock picking make it torturous. the magic system is interesting but is confusing due to certain buffs not correctly stacking onto spells. there are 5 schools of magic water air fire earth and necromancy.
    there is a spell called freezing wave that freezes all opponents around you making it nearly impossible to lose a battle similarly there is a spell for earth magic called chains which target one opponent instead of multiple.there is a item class system which you can infinitely stack items there is no need of payment or base items.Just two of the same items.the Alchemy system is nice combining permanent ingredients to make potions runes and other important items it really adds to the customization but also makes the game way easier.with all these problems the exploration drove me to play further late into the night to get one more sword pickpocket one more person explore one more dungeon or to do one more quest. the game is bad in its technical aspects but its fun.Two worlds is no oblivion killer but it sure is one fun experience    … Expand

    7.9 - Although it has many glitches and bugs, the voice acting is hilarious! The world is generally pretty cool as well, with plenty of different monsters and items/weapons and armor. Overall not a bad game like how it is rated.

    I had high expectations when the open-world RPG Two Worlds was released. Instantly bought it, ready to sink in an epic fantasy world. I was ridiculously disappointed! The story is very fascinating but everything else, from graphics to voice acting is embarrassing. I really tried to love this game, took my time and surely found some positive aspects. But in the end mostly mediocrity...

    What can I say, this game gets so much hate for it's campy dialogue and out of touch comedy. But it couldn't be farther from the truth about what makes this game so amazing, set aside the fact that there still isn't an RPG with 500+ armor sets and variations of weapons, at the time, for us westerners, you had 2 choices: Oblivion ~ Two Worlds, and while I can easily say they were both greatWhat can I say, this game gets so much hate for it's campy dialogue and out of touch comedy. But it couldn't be farther from the truth about what makes this game so amazing, set aside the fact that there still isn't an RPG with 500+ armor sets and variations of weapons, at the time, for us westerners, you had 2 choices: Oblivion ~ Two Worlds, and while I can easily say they were both great games for there times, Two Worlds had Internet & LAN multiplayer.. and if I have to explain why a couch co-op, funny speech RPG is fun to play with an IRL friend, then there truly isn't any hope for Antaloor.

    Obviously 2023 standards its ages poorly but back in the day when i played this, it was good!

    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.
