    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.

This game should not be compared to the much overhyped Oblivion, which ended up being an improved version of Morrowind over voiceovers and newer graphics but with lesser quest variety, a disappointment for some in fact. 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.

And the humor that can be found in the dialog is a riot...."Where hence you come"..."The shaven back monk monestary"... "really!, what are there powers?"...."shaven backs of course!".... 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. If you give this game some time and effort it rewards you greatly. It's quite an accompishment, and very ambitious, maybe too ambitious, so the nay sayers should go back to playing Mario.

    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.
