    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.

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

I was baffled by the atrocious framerate, which essentially rendered the game unplayable, and struggled to understand how I could have even remotely enjoyed a game that performs this badly.

    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 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...

    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

    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.

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

It is a diablo-clone, single-player mmo, dungeon crawling hacknslash game with lots of quests, level ups and fighting. It is about loot collection and inventory management.

    It is an old skool blast.

    I bought this years ago, but, it was already an under 10 buck bargain. I am reviewing it now because i am currently replaying it and have been re-reading all the reviews. This game is a solid rpg adventure that gives hours of entertainment. That entertainment includes the GREAT voice-acting and Ye Olde English. One of the funniest and most enjoyable aspects is listening and reading the dialogue. I am left laughing out-loud every gaming session and i will never understand those who actually grade this aspect so low. The decision to use panned old english was incredibly wise. The humor within the dialogue is equally great.

    Another great decision was the choice to make enemy difficulty levels static. You will get your azz handed to you all the time if your character is not at a high enough level or doesn't have the right stats/equipment.

    The world is unique with lots to do and the horse and teleport system is perfectly implemented to make this adventure less cumbersome. (Again, this is NOT an elder scroll game where role-playing is the emphasis.) One can easily return to any merchant within the world and sell off their loot.

    Loot management and item stacking is the heart of this game. Money is no issue and there are literally thousands of weapon/armor combinations. Horses are storage chests, you can own them all and they can be relocated anywhere. The alchemy, bomb and spell-casting aspects are done very well and are worthy alternates to the sword and bow archetype. There are lots of skills and levelup point distribution with a respec option. There are many sidequests and faction storylines. And, for the life of me, I do not understand why so many have issues with the map/quest screens. As with all games, once you understand the controls and become familiar with it the negative issues disappear. This game does not hold your hand and the the submenus are actually very informative.

    The negative aspects would include a slow framerate AT TIMES (i have only played it after the updates), the stealth system and the horse controls at times. That's it. (btw, i am not a graphic whore, i don't really up my rating for a game if it has great graphics and the graphics in this game are perfectly fine.) The music and sound is good. The enemies are definitely unique. The alchemy system is very nice and powerful. The stacking is fun. The game is fun.

    Like others I realize what this game is and what it is not. I understand its unique nature in this day and age of gaming where gamers and devs put show OVER SUBSTANCE. This game isn't a great game, but, it does MANY things BETTER than beth or bioware. It doesn't take itself seriously and provides a modern-day open-world sandbox experience that lots of us gamers have been waiting for and NOT receiving in this new age of gaming.

    In closing, two worlds is an unpolished gem that is under ten bucks, is very fun, does many things better than other games and has a hundred hours of content.    … Expand

    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

    portions of the open world even portions you have been in multiple times. The voice acting is cheesy and drives me from the game while the lore raises a few questions that remain unanswered.Combat isn't great and feels dated you will approach an enemy and follow the pattern of hit hit hit parry.During this parry animation you almost cant be hit making combat extremely easy.Graphics feel dated in some aspects Characters are ugly and textures are blurry. the developers forgot to take the environmental separation lines out. There are giant lines on the ground that separate different environments. from afar on top of a mountain the world looks nice but up close its brutal. 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

My two biggest problems are this, 1: the quest guide and map are not easy to use, they really have a rough feel and scrolling the quests doesn't make sense and took me like an hour to even get used to them. 2: after about 3 hours of game play I was level 13 and had done the quests in the beginning area, after that I got completely lost, there is no direction in the games, side quests are all over the place , it's hard to get over the negatives but I did. 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. Overall this game sucks, but it's pretty fun to play, not worth anything over $15.… 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

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.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game. But I only love it so much because it is ridiculously easy and fun to play. When I got to the first orc camp out side of Quidinar I slaughtered every one of them, without dying, with out wasting all of my potion, and without using one single power-up potion. Just before that I had totally cleared The Black Tower nearest to Windbreak, without even trying. I also have cleared the Temple In Ashos and taken Everything of value, looted the place to the bone, combined all the katanas, powered the normal type katana by combining so many that they equal up to 2,400+ Damage with 1,000+ magical from all the Weapon power ups that I looted, also making an Air Dragon armor equal 810+ Bludgeon, Slashing, And Piercing Defense.

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

    This is the worst game I have ever played. Everything about this game is either unbelievably bad, completely hilarious, or both. I have never played a game this useless before; I genuinely struggle to find something good about this game. I have yet to meet anyone who disagrees.

    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

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!

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

    This may be the worst game I have ever played. I ran out to buy this immediately (before any reviews had posted) and what an absolute tragedy. The voice-acting is insanely hysterical. And I mean that in the worst way possible. So are the interfaces, the multiplayer, the animation, the graphics....basically everything. Buy this if you are out of toilet paper.

Player, but you can also choose to invite friends into your game. Also, it takes many of the original ideas that were in Oblivion and it builds on them, such as the ability to create potions using your alchemy skills. I think this game deserves a much closer look than most reviewers want to give it because it is a long, drawn out gaming experience. It's certainly not something silly and overblown, like Bioshock, nor is it hampered by a lack of multiplayer. Long after you've taken Bioshock back to trade it in, you'll barely be scratching the surface of what this game has to offer.… Expand

    I really enjoy this game, but its flaws might keep a lot of others away. It's a lot like Oblivion, sure, but I find the fighting much more entertaining in this than in Oblivion, for example. The graphics are definitely not top-tier. The voice acting is funky, but not offensively bad. Given my usual reaction to extensive voice-overs, i'll take it.

My main gripe with the game is that the graphics are a bit muddy at times on the 360, and the map/quest menu was designed by a vicious sadist, but in all respects I found the combat, quest, exploration, and character system in this game to be both better and more interesting that Oblivion.

    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

    OK, I'll grant you that this game didn't break any genre limits. Gameplay-wise it is very similar to Oblivion. But after a while I grew to dislike Oblivion. Why? The leveling system.

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

    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.

    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.
