Two Worlds - Xbox 360

The graphics are definately dissapointing, and while it's true that there aren't loading screens every 30 secs., the frame rate is somewhat choppy. You have to figure out how to do things yourself because the book doesn't tell you. Once you get the hang of the inventory, it isn't too bad, though. The combat system is fun and the magic system isn't too difficult. There is a very nice variety of weapons, and hotkeying spells is very nice and almost the same as if you were hotkeying spells in oblivion. The dialogue is boring and very proper. You don't feel like you're interacting with farmers, soldiers and other normal people. It feels as if you talk to highly educated scholars. All that being said, the gameplay is alright, and I would recommend this to a friend because it is fun to be able to play the same game together at the same time, while having the freedom of an RPG.

Well, the game was compared to one of the BEST RPGs of all time. Does it stack up? No, its a good distraction, but with all the great games coming out, I'd pass on this one. The storyline it self takes maybe 8 hours max. The side quests are numerous but not very enjoyable. I did put in about 22 hours in this game, but after that, I doubt I will ever replay it. This is a rental at best. Graphics are alright, but not up to today standards, the voice acting is one worth PATHETIC. Multiplayer has no Servers, so the host better have a nice connection. I run a 9MB connection and when I hosted a 2 player match, the lag was still HORRIBLE>

First let me say DO NOT compare this to oblivion if you want to compare it to something compare it to morrowind and diablo. You WILL hate this game the first hour or two of playing. If you can make it past that you will start to enjoy it alot more. Graphics: 7/10 Spell effects are nice but the graphics are not very good which I don't understand why the framerate suffers. There is alot of draw problems with tree's and grass popping up randomly. Some bland textures. Gameplay: 8/10 You start out only knowing a few skills but as you progress you eventually learn dozens. The magic system is really well done. You can get cards which are called boosters that do different things to your spells such as amplifying to making them use less mana. Melee is another option with the ability to learn dual wield and other skills such as dirty tricks that let you kick dirt in your opponents eye's. Archery is an other way to go. I admit I have not really done anything with archery. But there are skills that let you shoot multiple arrows, shoot through armor and the like. There is a thing called alchemy in the game which allows you to get random plants and animal parts and make potions and its a blast to use. You can make potions that give permanent stat boosts so its in your best interest to learn how to use it. Also if you have 2 of the same items you can stack them to make a more powerful single item which is helpful. Sound:5/10 The low point for me was this games sound. The soundtrack is more annoying than anything, and for the most part it doesn't fit with whats going on. Thankfully you can use your custom soundtracks. The voice acting is just bad. As others have pointed out its like being in a LARPERS fair. Get ready to hear forsooth and mayhap alot. I don't know why they had to do that but it fails. Sound effects aren't horrible but they are just so so. Story 7/10 Cliche to say the least. Your sister gets kidnapped by stupid looking guys that want you to open a tomb for the orc god. So you will find yourself working for them. It's really stupid thankfully there are side quests which help ease the pain. Overall its a good game no scaled leveling and it at leas helps fill the void of xbox 360 rps. It wont be a classic but if you can get over the sound you can really enjoy it. 8/10

When I first started playing, I was confused about what my next step should be. It's a good idea to read the owner's manual about the different menus, because once you get used to the Quest Log/Map System, you'll be getting around great. I found myself delving into the side-quests much more than the actual main storyline. The main quests are a lot of, "Go here, talk to him," type of goals. However, the side-quests involve a lot of fighting and have entertained me far more. The equipment drops are useful, and seem to be scaled to your level. The ability to stack the same types of items to upgrade their class makes for powerful weapons, armors and rings. You can also embue a weapon with elemental properties from stones, which adds additional damage. Alchemy is great, and ingrediants can be obtained from hunting/gathering. There are both timed and perminant effect potions to be created. Magic is interesting, and well-done. The visual effects are great and there are different "classes" of magic you can use. The ability to stack magic spells and magic spell boosters allows for some powerful forces. Horseback riding is a severe pain when trying to turn, and fight. Even though you can attack on horseback, it's very cumbersome and leaves you very vulnerable. I'd recommend a horse for the extra storage and quick movement, but leave it alone when you're feeling froggy. The character developement is very well done, yet simple enough for anyone to understand. You can upgrade attributes and skills in any fashion you want. You can also learn unlocked skills from certain NPC's. The quality of the sound effects are a bit sub-par for NexGen gaming. There's plenty of ambience, the soundtrack is decent, but doesn't hold continuity for the game. The voice actors hold absolutely no emotion, and sound VERY amateur. Half my entertainment came from mocking the voice acting, which is actually bad enough to be comical. My largest complaint are the random game freezes. SAVE OFTEN! You could play for hours without a freeze, and sometimes just a few minutes. This is the only reason I would not recommend this game to a friend. In all, this is a decent AVERAGE game. It's not spectacular, but it is worth the price for a rental to decide if it's your cup of tea. Give it a couple hours of consistant play before really deciding. After about the first 9 or 10 levels, you're able to experience a lot more.

I'll admit that this game's graphics aren't all that great most of the time, and there are more glitches than a game should have, but it is still a fun game to play. The combat and magic systems are very simple but also entertaining. I was also a bit dissapointed with the choppy framerate and the lackluster voice acting. All cons aside, this game has a decent amount of play value and it has the addicting quality that an RPG should have. Not the greatest game in the world, but definitely worth the purchase.

The graphics are the first thing you notice, they look like early 1990's graphics and that looks very bad on an HDTV setup. The graphics are so bad that when you are looking at your inventory items you can't tell the difference between any small items in the inventory. The dialogue is delivered poorly and corny. The frame rate is very low and the game does not flow smoothly due to this low frame rate. The only line you will wait in is the resale shop line to unload this game before you can't get anything for it. During it's release week the game is already worth less that half the new value and is dropping fast. I returned my game the same day I bought it during release week and the comment I got was, "I was not the first to trade this game in," and that actually did not surprise me. it was clear that the resale shops already know "Two Worlds" is a bad game.

THIS IS AN OVERALL OK GAME. THE VOICE ACTING IS TERRIBLE, BUT THE FACT THAT U CREATE EVERYSINGLE ASPECT OF YOUR CHARACTER IS VERY COOL. CRITICS SAY ITS OBLIVION ON STERIODS.... ITS REALLY NOT. ITS AN OK GAME BUT OBLIVION IS WAY BETTER THEN THIS. THE MAP IN THIS GAME IS GIGANTIC, WHICH IS TO EVERYONES DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE ITS HARD TO GET AROUND, RIDING HORSES IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS GAME SO GETTING AROUND PRETTY MUCH CUTS DOWN TO WALKING, EVEN THO THERE ARE TELEPORTERS WALKING IS STILL A PAIN, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS U LIKE WASTING UR TIME WITH NON-NEXT REN GAMES.

So I have been reading different forums boards and blogs about two worlds and many of them were sites where half the people talked about how terrible the game is and the other side telling how great it is. In my experience with two worlds I was terribly disappointed my reasons being. 1. The hype on this game was throwing three independent games that were great into one those games being Oblivion diablo and fable. This game is nothing like Oblivion not even close in any way or form. They say the skills and stat trees/inv were like diablos only thing remotely close was the trees....the inventory was more like dungeon siege. As to fable fighting and hotkeying is similar, but fable is ahead of this game in that form. 2. When I looked at the character customization I was unsure wether to laugh or cry. 3. What happend to the 11 different races you could choose from? 4. The game lags in single player. 5. Anyone remember battlefront online? Take that things lag and triple it and it is around there. 6. Do these horses have minds of their own or something? I tried to control one for 25 minutes before finally giving up. This game was suppose to be a leap in mmorpg/rpg's and be the next-gen standard or so it says on the back of the games case. I believe this game would have met those standards if they took their time on the game...unfortunately it seems it was rushed or atleast to me, but this is one mans opinion do not buy it rent before hand.
