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

Worthless piece of junk

Someone took TES III Morrowind and Fable TLC, chopped em up and put em in a blender and out popped two worlds. This game is so awful that I felt literally sick after only 5 minutes of play. Oh lets not forget having to activate it online before I could even use it. This game has been an utter waste of $50 and over 3 hours of my time. Its like lighting a $50 bill on fire and watching it burn but much less entertaining than that would be. Please save your hard earned money and buy something else.

Graphics = Bad
Sound = average
story = unoriginal
voice over = worse than a cheap Chinese film
controls = Horrible
Character creation/modification = sub par

All in all South peak didn't try very hard and it shows, badly.

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!

Waste of Money

Horrible game. I could barely play 30 minutes, and that was all I could do with this game. I am a true, a long time RPG fan and I hate to say Dungeon Lord was much better than this game. And Two World made me rethink recent fall out of Gothic 3 like a game from heaven.

Two World is like a first person action RPG like Gothic and Oblivion.
I had a lot of hope and hypes about the game but my excitement shattered at the character selection choice. You have no choice but to choose one ugly human male. The character make over was awful but hey! who gives about how do you look, right? The male portrait had an ugly teeth showing and I tried to change the lips so it won't show. But the damn designers thought that must be shown! I just could not change the way he looks and it was very frustrating. It was almost at a point, I just didn't have a desire to play the entire game with this character. And guess what? Your character will be visible through out the game during the cutscene and so on.

But the game isn't about how you look so I force myself to ignore and drive on. Well, it didn't last long. There are absolutely no tutorial, and there were no help to find. That's OK. I will read the manuals later or I will try to figure it out on my own.
But this didn't last long either. Fighting mechanism is awful. It is really really bad. You use WASD to move around but when you use S to step back, the character actually turns around and move away from fight. I was forced not to hit "S" key during fight and I was gunho, all out attack stance whole time. Like someone explained earlier, you start off with right clik, fireball, click, click, run out of mana. Left click, click, click, no DEFENCE, just hack slash use potion. And please don't try using your bow. You have to hold left mouse button to relase but it also takes time to zoom. There is a quick zoon option but you need that holding for more damage. But by this time the animals, like boars wolves, are already hitting you and you force to release it early. And like I said earlier, you can't do a stance and move backwards so you turn around and try to run. Repeat the same thing. Guess what? The pack of wolves are already coming at you and you just shoot the arrow, left click. NOT! No damage. You try to hold on then you are getting hit and lose HP really fast. So guess what? You do right click for fireball and back to equiping sword then slash again. Playing Dungeon Lord was awful with so much bug and NO MAP but it was actually fun to play. Two World is out of my world... Not worth trying more of my valuable time.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Pro's: decent graphics, overall fun to play when nothing else to do.

Con's: Endless... Problem 1. I get a BSOD 2 days after i install the game. This is a Dell XPS system with NO mods from me. This system plays Unreal 3, Company Of Heroes, Crysis, and Bioshock with excelent clearity and no problems. Yet Two worlds gives me BSOD's for video card, Ram, and Pooling. That is not the worst part. I can deal with redoing the last 5 minutes of game play (game has autosave every 5 minutes). I Can't, hoever, deal with the fact the game kicks it's activation every other day. I've had the game ten days. Purchased on the 10th Of Dec 2007. I've activated it 3 times. Attempted a 4th... no dice. says you have to do a phone activation. This is NOT like Dell or Microsoft.. you get an ANSWERING MACHINE.. it says "leave your name, number, activation code and we will call you back" (beep)... Um NO, this is NOT customer service nor the corrrect way to have phone activation. Oh did I mention this was done 3 times in the last 5 days with NO call back. I've also emailed ther supoprt every day since the first problem with 1 reply that simply said "update the game by installing the 1.6 Patch" I replied saying I did that already, and have NOT heard back from them. The game is VERY BUGGY!!!

Simple Advise... if you like pretty scenic pictures buy the game and walk in circles. If you want a REAL game don't look here. Oh BTW... this is NOTHING like Obilivion which is not even in the same arena... it is like comparing cub scouts (not boy scouts mind you) to the Navy Seals (Obilivian being the Seals if you were confused)...

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.

Diminished expectations

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.

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.

IT TRIES TO BE OBLIVION...AND FAILS HORRIBLY

QUICK UPDATE: Someone pointed out I shouldn't compare one game to another, because I compare this game (Two Worlds) to Oblivion A LOT in my review. Well, it's true I shouldn't compare one game to another. HOWEVER, I'm comparing this game to the game it's TRYING to be (in fact, it tries to CLONE Oblivion in every aspect, except the fact this game comes with multiplayer). So yeah, it's okay to compare it to Oblivion in this particular case.

It's not like I'm comparing Doom 3 to Madden 2007 here, saying Madden is a much better game to play. THERE'S where you'd have a problem. THERE'S where you shouldn't be comparing. See? There are BETTER, SIMILAR games to spend your $50 on. Anyway, on with my original review......

I'll start off with saying this... Buy Oblivion. There's really no excuse to NOT own Oblivion. It's been out since March '06 and is the greatest game ever. Ever. This game tries SO hard to be Oblivion, but it fails. Oh my God...it fails.

The voice acting is unreasonably horrible. Too much "mayhap" and "forsooth" (which a decent voice actor may be able to pull off without it sounding cheesy). However, the dialogue and the voice acting is all simply unbearable. Maybe Oblivion has just spoiled me.

The music's great! That's the only good thing I'll say about the game, because that's the ONLY good thing I can say.

The graphics are nice...sort of. Don't turn HDR all the way up or the sun will take up the whole sky and shine so bright that some of the nearby trees disappear! Unacceptable.

Still on the subject of graphics... The grass and trees sway in the wind, like in Oblivion. However, the grass and trees look terrible compared to Oblivion. Even if I'd never played Oblivion, I'd still say the grass and trees look so incredibly fake.

The controls...are terrible. Bad camera angles mixed with somewhat responsive controls mixed with way too many buttons to remember in order to do basic things = Please don't buy this game. At least try the Demo first.

The people look bad. It's like all the people and animals in the game were tossed together by the designers overnight. The animal noises are terrible, the voice acting is still terrible (don't know if I mentioned that already), and the bird sounds are especially terrible/annoying.

Gameplay just isn't smooth, the music's great but the sounds (including voices) are awful, graphics resemble that of Oblivion only without all the QUALITY, and I'll also mention that the towns consist of a bunch of people just standing around (occasionally someone will walk from one corner to another... wow! Such realism!)

Swaying grass and trees like in Oblivion, check. Clouds moving through a sky which at a single glance reminds me of Oblivion, check. Various towns scattered throughout a countryside that, at one look, reminds me of Oblivion...check. Many people in the towns, as well as people at camps throughout the countryside like in Oblivion, check. Camera that automatically zooms up to the face of the person you're talking to like in Oblivion, check. Character races (orcs, elves, etc) like in Oblivion, check. A character design system that's set up MUCH like Oblivion's, check.

My God, it tries so very hard, and yet... it doesn't. I feel like I need to play Oblivion right now just to clean the filth of this game off myself. Oh, and if you want dragons in Oblivion, download the Akatosh Mount mod. This game comes with dragons, but... it's just not worth it.

PLEASE download the demo for this game off the official site (or wherever) and see for yourself! PLEASE! And if you own Oblivion, you'll spot the similarities in less than 5 seconds of gameplay, and you'll be disappointed in less than 5 seconds of gameplay.

I can't recommend this game. I can't. Please don't buy it. At least try the demo first before you waste $50. I beg you. I don't know what else to say. Don't be fooled by the pretty screenshots. I'm glad there are developers out there trying to make games more like Oblivion... and this game tries to be a worthy replica...but falls so amazingly short.
