Oblivion killer? My honest opinion about this game...

User Rating: 4.5 | Two Worlds X360
I purchased the collectors edition of two worlds. Seventy US dollars right off, I was expecting quite a bit for that price tag but I don't think I was ready for this. You'll hear people tell you it's not that bad if you play it as it's own game, not comparing it to Oblivion...etc... However, they couldn't be more wrong considering the following.

People who played the Beta in Europe had decent things to say about this game. However, if you get this game you'll soon find the game is god awful. Right away the graphics look like they should have come from the Playstation 2 era. Character models are hideous, I mean absolutely awful. Heads are misshapen, many NPC's look alike, and while the environments look like they could be lush, they're very choppy. The frame rate chokes from time to time and even monsters and creatures look poorly done.

Gameplay is very redundant, you just find weapons, spell trainers and various other little modifications and beat creatures with them given that you have the stats to match requirements. There are other things to do like alchemy considering you can handle the game enough to get that far. Plenty of unique ideas that were just played oh so wrong. The ability to combine alike weapons and shields was a cool idea except that the weapons still suck. The combat is a little choppy and monsters will lay you out quickly because in the beginning everything is rather strong. The controls aren't unusable, but the way the menus are set up is just awful. Melee combat is repetitive, you just keep doing the same move over and over again. Let's not forget that your character runs like he's trying to hold something between his butt cheeks, very ugly movement system.

The music is alright, but the voice over is TERRIBLE. Lets not mention your character keeps saying the same cheesy crap every time you kill something, or loot a corpse/object. It's just as annoying as Navi from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game might be worth it, if it was a budget title, even then I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not cheap. The multiplayer is broken and lags like you wouldn't believe. So it isn't even redeemable on Xbox Live. It has basic head to head modes and so on, but what's the point if the game is unplayable. Right away everyone online was pissed off about how laggy and broken everything was, how they got ripped off of 60-70 bucks.

DO NOT BUY TWO WORLDS. This game is not an MMORPG, it is not an Oblivion Killer. If you want an RPG, buy Bioshock or wait for Mass Effect. It's the sort of game you give someone you hate, because it's THAT BAD.
