Editorial Review:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a vitally important release for the Xbox 360 in many ways. Not only was it the first real evidence of genuine next generation gameplay, as well as just graphics, but it was also the first mass market hit for a Western style role-playing game in a very long time. It wasn’t without its flaws though and Two Worlds is the first new game to take up the challenge of improving the basic concepts even further. For a start the open-ended game world remains persistent all the time you play, so that anything you destroy or damage stays that way for the whole game. Loading is also seamless, so there are no delays when entering or leaving buildings.
There are no pre-set character classes in the game, but instead you choose a basic archetype at the start and then choose to improve any skill you see fit – from casting one of the five types of magic to picking locks. Spells themselves can be customised and mixed together as well, as the game tries to offer as much freedom as possible in everything you do. One area where it is, thankfully, more assertive is the inventory which tries to limit the clutter you carry around by automatically combining similar objects. The most impressive aspect of the game though is the online co-operative mode, which thanks to the persistent world operates like a miniature massively multiplayer online game and is likely to ensure the game’s longevity for years to come.

This game is actually pretty bad This game could have been nice, i.e. there's a nice and nice looking
world, a decent plot, different branches, side quests etc, but it
completely fails to deliver and is very VERY buggy (v1.5). Compared
to other games in the genre it is basically a waste of time (sorry
dear game developpers, I recognise that you had better intentions)
- Character model/movement too unrealistic/plastic for this age
- Major bugs in plots (missing people)
- Major glitches in the... more info
A good sandbox style RPG To lay my cards on the table from the beginning, I'm a longtime fan of computer RPGs. Games I've enjoyed have been Morrowind/Oblivion, the Knights of the Old Republic games, Dragon Quest 8 and classics like Wizardry 8, the Might and Magic Series (6-8) and (a long time ago) Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. I like games where you can build characters, level up and enjoy the whole RPG thing. Keep that in mind when I'm talking about this game. This is a game that is like Oblivion. In fact, if... more info
Don't buy it I got this game thinking it would be good. It wasn't. I was amazed that they had the nerve to compare it to Oblivion, because it doesn't even come close. 1)Sure, the game world is big. On the other hand, it seemed fairly empty to me. Most of it was just boring, dull, monotonous forest or fields with no-one interesting in them. Sometimes you can spend ages walking around a settlement looking for a way in. 2)The graphics are ok, but not that good. They don't match oblivion's, no where near.... more info
Worth A try I had serious doubts about buying this game having read many of the other reviews here. However, I am very pleased i did. Bottom line, its a relaxing enjoyable and highly playable RPG. Does it have a few niggles, yes no question, however none of them i found to be serious enough to diminish my enjoyment. The riding can be frustraing, although in the most recent patch it is massively improved. The probelm stemmed from the fact that they tried to make riding more realistic, so your horse had a mind... more info
