rediculous activation/proof of ownership via "phone home" sceme'

and without warning, you are thrust into steep activation/copywrite requirements and(for you who flame without realy reading a reveiw thouroly becasue your eyes and mind are lacking) it is NOT so much the activation as the REQIRED internet connection for a SINGLE player game that gets sensible people upset. I am also offended that comsumors seem to take sides with the companies instead of fellow comsumors, you only hurt yourselves in the end when big business takes over your whole entertainment period!
why on earth any consumor wants to defend this is beyond reality why they flame all reviews to the contrary is beyond reality! Why don't you look at the review of "Bioshock" with the same rediculoius(and fashous) comments involved, yeah, like personal attacks will change one's opinion! It not only allows hackers more area to down your system it now involves more insentive to do it as now your out 50 bucks because your "linmited" install is expired when you try to restore the system. PLUS if you DO decide your PC is not fast enough to run this product and want a new once you can't install this copy of the game because, as with Windows XP you'll get "according to owr records, you have already activated this on another computer" rutine..
for you who agree be a wolf, not a sheep for you flaming morons, grow up and ship out!

Well, to start off on an unbiased note, this game is not as horrid as some

have reviewed. I have just started playing this today - it arrived in my

maibox 3 HRS. ago - and believe me I've played ALOT worse.

So why comment on a game i just installed ? Well it's simple. I like many

other Veteran player's of this genre can usually in most cases tell from

the first half hour to an hour of gameplay whether a game will fall under

one of 3 catagories - (Unplayable-game has way too many bugs and faults to

even get started.),(Mediocre-playable but from the start the voice acting,

controls and story could have been improved.) or (Great- within the first

10 minutes of gameplay and feel for the story you're instantly hooked.)

Well , so far TWO WORLD'S falls in the same catagorie as the last 100 or

so games of this genre that have come out within the last 4 to 5 years.

You can kid yourself that this comment is untrue , but then why do you

continue to buy them ?? Listen, just do exactly what you purchased this

product for, sit back and enjoy it for it's good and bad points and wait

(just like the rest of us) and pray that the games will get better cause

you know just as well as i do that this will not be your last MEDIOCRE

RPG game purchase. B.T.W-get use to activating games online even in single

player, too many talented people getting thier source code stolen. It's

probably going to become a standard in the future. That's just the way it

is. Would you like some JACK$$$ with a pc come along and steal 3-4 yrs. of

your hard earned talent and work? A finished review when i complete the

game. Also, one reviewer mentioned the threat of 'BIG BUISSNESS' taking

over our entertainment industry....HELLO??, Where have you been for the

last 20 or so years. Enjoy the game,it's really not all that bad..I'm sure

going to.-holyknight8

Three words: get xbox version!!!!!!
It has better graphics and doesnt need fancy software.(yes you want software to make two worlds even look somwhat good). with the xbox version you can just sit down and play instead of installing it for one hour which is really annoying. Xbox or PC... um Xbox duh.
Case closed

First off let's get the whole RPG definition out of the way. This is an RPG only because there is a character development tree, which is overly simplified at that. Let us also not compare this to another pseudo RPG Oblivion, because that's like comparing gold paint with gold magic marker; both claim to be something they are not.

This is an action game with some character development stuck into a loose plot line, terrible voice acting and particularly mundane dialogue. I would not have been so disappointed if the marketing hadn't played up the games release so much. The graphical style of the game obviously comes from an outdated graphics engine being pushed to its limits. The bombastic theme music that comes up for no reason at all makes it feel like a Monty Python skit in parts. I found very little redeeming in this game.

First I would like to say I am a big RPG & fantasy fan. I waited for this game to come out ever since it was talked about. When I finally got my pre order and plugged it in to play it I could tell right off that bat during character creation that this game was going to be a flop. Pray I did give it a chance though, I played it for about a week before deciding to trade it in. What a huge let down this game was. Everything about it just reaked of cow dung. Poor character creation, bad character models, horrible acting, terrible sound, dumb gameplay, an even worse story / script. The only thing that was good about this game was MAYBE the outside world graphics, like the trees. Sort of simular to Oblivion. Which brings me to my next comment. I was expecting this game to be simular to Oblivion, infact I was expecting it to kill oblivion with what this game had promised. Maybe I'm a little biased here and that's why I don't like it so much ... actually nay ... it's not. It's just a horrible game. Trust me. Pray the next title they release is 1000 x better. They should put people to death for making horrible games like this and misleading everyone. What horrible business! I can tell you personally I will never buy another South Peak game again. Infact I will urge others not to either. I'm sticking with Bethesda, Rockstar and Blizzard. At least with those guys I know I will be getting my moneys worth if not more. Want a good RPG? Get Oblivion. Get WOW. or even take your mommy out to an expensive dinner, it would be WAY more worth it than this game.

I'm a huge fan of Oblivion, Witcher and similar RPGs, and picked up Two Worlds without trying the demo (foolish of me). Compared to other current games the graphics are poor, the combat model is limited (no targeting) and the interface is clunky.

The world is huge, and it's fun to wander around. THe environment is almost too realistic sometimes, but the rendering of player characters, faces especially, seems very poor for a game published in 2007. I'm running a robust machine with a new graphics card and even on high/max settings the graphics seem rough and "overly-colored", and the rendering of textures like cloth and leather on characters looks as if it was taken from a game a few years ago. Faces are oddly smooth and oddly colored, but I was impressed with the synch of facial movements with speech, which is normally pretty rough in this sort of game.

I wasn't bothered by the single-path storyline (male bounty-hunter).

But, much of the game is cutscenes and talking to people (pretty much everyone has something to say), and the voice acting and dialog are so absolutely, painfully bad that I actually turned off the sound and just read the subtitles. Awful.

I will probably play through the game, but for a game that I paid fifty bucks for, I am seriously disappointed. It looks like games I was playing three or four years ago and my expectations for graphics, interface, and realism are higher for a "modern game". Not worth the price.
