A solid game ruined by a crappy boss fight.

User Rating: 5.5 | Two Worlds II X360
PLUS:

+ A solid graphics engine with good looking textures and character models. Some bright light washout (Xbox 360) in certain settings, however. An occasional video stutter.

+ Dialog is well done and sometimes very humorous. Life-like and natural sounding.

+ Weapon and armor crafting and upgrades is a nice touch.

MINUS:

- A nondescript quest story left me not really listening to all the story. Uncertain as to what's going on and what's at stake.

- Confusing (to me) magic system. Ranged combat is good for only one or two shots before you have to switch to melee.

- And the BIGGIE...you spend hours of combat in a normal RPG fashion, only to face an end boss having to utilize a whole new game mechanic while getting killed repeatedly in just a few hits. Not sure why this decision was made, but for now, the game sits on my shelf uncompleted.
