I was surprised at how good this game is. At times it is frustrating trying to solve the assigned tasks but satisfying once you do. Camera angles are great and there is plenty of action taking on animals, Orcs, skeletons, etc. You can roam the world as you please and it looks like I'll be playing this game for quite a while before I get to the end. Give this game a try, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this game because it seemed to have an interesting concept and I got it for very cheap. After playing for a few hour (there is much more to the game) I have found the story generally interesting and the interface ok. I have been playing on medium difficulty and found that the game is fairly unforgiving of poor choices in battle. This coupled with a less than intuitive control interface makes combat difficult, even for easy encounters. The game world is large and allows you to roam where you want, but beware, the encounters do not seem to scale to your level so going off the basic set of quests (and side quests) will quickly lead to your death. Character death in the game is trivial as you lose nothing for dieing and are reborn at the nearest shrine (even if it is one you haven't found yet). Overall I think that Oblivion is a much better game, but if you are looking for something else to play or a different storyline give Two Worlds a try. Just don't pay retail for it.Read full review
Seriously, this game is loads of fun. First let me say I love Morrowind, and have put over 200 hours into Morrowind. Oblivion is like a super polished Morrowind and so after 10 hours of Oblivion I bailed, just can't do a repeat of essentially Morrowind on steroids. Now after 14 hours of Two Worlds, PC version, I'm having so much fun. It's a different feel from Morrowind and Oblivion. A somewhat more complex and interative adventure. I love how all the creatures have rather unique attacking methods. You do have to work on differing strategies. I love the magic system based on cards you find all over the world or purchase at select merchants. Cards offering you various spell casting abilities. Air, Water, Earth, Fire & Necromancy. Casting spells is easily handled with hot keys. So yes, you can hack and slash with a wide assortment of weapons via the left mouse button and cast your main spell with the right mouse button or various hotkeys. And you can rotate up to 3 weapons with the R key. The alchemy system is intuitive and darn near all ingredients can be mixed into a potion. This is loads of fun. The travel system is great, you can go by foot, by horse (buy or steal one) or by portal. You can even battle while on horseback if you level up correctly. Plus of course the horse can hold inventory. I currently have 3 horses. Horse riding is quite realistic. The map on the game is huge, but not as huge as Morrowind. In Morrowind you could take 20 minutes real time to walk from town to town. In this game no more than 4-8 minutes. Hey if that's too long, get a darn horse. The game world is inhabited by various wild animals like wolves (which attack in packs) and bears (which attack solo). That for the first 6-7 hours are pretty hard to defeat. They even respawn at night in limited numbers as ghosts (if you killed them) which is an interesting twist. The characters you meet all speak in their own voices, which is cool. Of course there are varied quests and different guilds you can join. But really the fun is in the fighting which is spaced out just enough to keep it lively and never a bore. But never overwhelming (so far no more than 8 opponents at a time.) And the terrain is very hilly, which has a nice effect. No just flat plains. And instead of just swords, arrows, knives, clubs and magic, you can learn to set various traps for your enemy like fire bombs which is a blast. Another thing I like about combat is that your opponent can knock your weapon out of your hand. This happened to me while fighting a group of skelton warriors. And caught me totally by surpise. Fighting is best handled in 3rd person, as you can easily be surrounded by enemy. But you can play the game in first person too. Overall the world has a realness to it, and since when you die your character will respawn at the nearest health temple, you don't have to play the game saving just before all major battles. Even though you can save anywhere and the autosave happens automatically before any major event takes place. Also it's cool how you can upgrade your equipment by finding the exact same equipment and putting them together as one. Works with everyting including the magic cards. Anyway, this game is lots of fun.Read full review
This is definitely worth a try. I found a lot of things to like about this game. I purchased the PC version, which is more playable than the Xbox. The gameplay is open and free just like in Oblivion and Gothic 3. Your character is fully customable from the way it looks to it's skills and ablilities. Play online with challanging players after beating the AI. Travel is easy with teleporting or animal riding. You can even fight from horseback. You can play the good, the bad, or the the ugly (hehe). Extensive alchemy portion to make potions, traps, bombs and weapon enhancements. Don't worry if you spend hours building your character, resurrection is easy.
Pros + Lots of options for your characters. Where to go, what to do, what to wear, who to kill. (too many actually) + Had an excellent trailer which made me expect a much better game. + Oblivion is still available. Cons - Some of the worst combat ever. - Controls are horrible. - Graphics are horrible and there is a lot of wandering around. - Navigating menus is not done well. Comments It's not Oblivion. If that were it's only real downfall, it would still be a big one. The truth is that this game is barely even playable if you have played any "good" games at all. Verdict Stay at least THREE Worlds away!!!
