    This is a game that should not be taken in seriously. It should be treated the same as a horrible b-movie. This game is funny and has great game. The story sucks shit, and all the dialog is so horrible that it's funny but thats the appeal. This is the bad movies of games, the said thing is that it's game play combat kicks the holy hell out of Oblivion.

    I can't put this game down. Halo 3 came out and i found myself missing Two Worlds so much that i decided to try and finish before i dip into Halo3. The first hour of play was not impressive but once i played a few lvls and get some skills and figured out controls and mapping i started having the time of my life. The quests are great! The story is interesting, graphics are nice and i I can't put this game down. Halo 3 came out and i found myself missing Two Worlds so much that i decided to try and finish before i dip into Halo3.

The story is interesting, graphics are nice and i have had no promlems with Frame Rate except in 2 big cities and it was so minor that i overlooked it easily. I see this game getting a 4/10 and 2/10 in gameinformer and i can only think they had a huge chip on their shoulders. But i never listen to their reviews much anyhow, i've played some of the games they rate 9/10's and i can only laugh at how terriblly wrong they were. Don't let the reviews scare you, if you like a game that is kind of like Fable, Oblivian, and Diablo rolled into one, then you will enjoy Two Worlds. The stuff they slam this game for are things most every other game could be slammed for and also are really not drastic enough to effect my gameplay one bit. If you are looking to hate this game from the start you'll find plenty to hate, but if you go in open minded and without a chip on your shoulder then you just might be as suprised as i was at how much fun it has been to explore Two Worlds.… 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. It Is So fun to play I give Who ever made this game a personal 5 out of 20, but the game, being so cartoonish and funny, A 20 out of 20. I think this game is a blast!!!… 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. Unlike Oblivions major and minor skills, the leveling system of Two Worlds in very intuitive and rewarding. The control scheme is also nicely laid out. The graphics aren't great.

It seems like rather than stunning graphics they went with stunning variety. I'm ok with that. As other have said, the voice acting is laughable. I hesitate to call it "acting." Just don't listen to it and you'll be better off. There are subtitles for a reason. All in all, the voice acting is the only real drawback for me. 100+ hours of fun game play? Yes, please.… Expand

    Flawed yes, but fun as well. Early versions of this game had many glitches, and some still remain, but get past the average graphics, and clunky interface, and you find a game as deep and fun as Oblivion. Truly surprised me after all the negative press. Fun Factor high on this one.

Two Worlds tries to bring you back into a similar world you've been accustomed to with other RPG games. I must admit that the graphics could have been much better and the voiceovers could have had more sparkles, Two Worlds is by no means a dud. It has its strenghts built into the main story quests. Once you've reached a certain point, new possibilities open to you. And Two Worlds is by far a huge world to explore and forge your destiny or seal your fate.

Stuff like that. You are taking it WAY too literal. It actually makes fun of itself, and other RPG's, it's called dry humor, look it up. And the amount of items and locations to discover are phenomenal. It's way larger than Oblivion, and every cave you find doesn't look exactly the same.

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

    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

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

    portions of the open world even portions you have been in multiple times.

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

    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.

    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 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...

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

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

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

    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.

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.

    if the game ran faster with better refresh rates it would be bearable to play so if they dont get a patch for the 360 to sort it out i will not be playing it. i found my eye's was getting heavy playing the game, it made me tired stop and start all the time it's BAD.

    WORST VOICE ACTING EVER!!!! Honestly I could sit here for ever and tell you how bad the voice acting was. The script was deplorable and the main character sounded like he was voiced by Max Headroom. I really wanted to stab myself in the ears with scissors to make it stop. I would be able to forgive the game if it was just the script and voice acting, but it wasn't. The AI in this WORST VOICE ACTING EVER!!!!

I really wanted to stab myself in the ears with scissors to make it stop. I would be able to forgive the game if it was just the script and voice acting, but it wasn't. The AI in this game is absolutly shameful. That's as nice as I can put it, the AI sets videogames back ten years. The graphics not only sucks, but the framrate chungs like crazy. It had to be something like 6 frames per second as soon as I started moving. Hand in hand with the graphics are the animations. Jumping made the charcter look like he was spazzing. 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. I can't quite figure out why people here liked this game, but if you have not tried it yet I can only say, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. I only wish I could recover the time I spent playing this poor excuse for a game. This game is not Oblivion or Bioshock and I think it's a shame to even compare it to them. If videogames are art this is the equivalent of an infants scribble.… Expand

    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.

    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

    I rented this over the weekend, for the 360. I played it for about 10 minutes. The first words out of my mouth were, "Is this some kind of joke?" This is without doubt the worst looking, worst playing game I have ever seen. It looks like a PS1 game, and runs at about 12 frames a second. The combat consists of pulling RT until the enemy dies.

    THIS IS A TERRIBLE GAME. I advise you not to buy it. This game is not polished compared to other RPG's out there. I HAVE WASTED MONEY ON THIS GAME....

    This game gets a 1 only because it was an attempt at a fairly hard-line rpg. To that, I say kudos. But beyond that...what an extraordinary mess.

    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. The story's uninteresting, the environments are uninspired, and the game's more buggy than a swamp.

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

    Are all you morons blind!? or are you simply one person continusly voting over and over again to get the score up? This game SUUUUUCCCCKKKKSS! all it is a an extremly watered down version of Obiliovn.....YES...OBILVION!!!! are any of you poeple even aware of that fact? have you ever played THAT game?

Judgeing from the reviews posted only morons like this game. I play it for around 8 hours when i stayed with my friend (who got it for some dumb reason) Every one on this website said that "it takes time to get into it" SO thats what i did....I took time to get into it and you know what.....IT STILL SUCKED! so all of you (or I'm really just expecting roughly 1 of you clones) who think this is a game to get lost in are complete utter moron and wouldnt know a good game if (like ZZ said) whipped your own a$$ with 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 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.
