Two Worlds
Overall: Many gamers were looking fowards to Two Worlds as the new and improved Oblivion, but push came to shove and the game was released, seemed as everyone on the face of the planet was disappointed. Two Worlds looked promising with it's very little previews and what SouthPeak Games promised to produce. Two Worlds plays and feels like a mixture of Diablo 2, Balder's Gate, and Oblivion wrapped into one package. Most may think, with all that, what can go wrong? Everything. Two Worlds tried to do too much at one time. This game has it's bugs and qwerks which will cause most gamers to want to throw this game away as soon as possible, but to those who stuck it through found this game to be a diamond in the rough.
I personally put about 12 hours into the game and can say if you enter this game without any expectations and accept it for what it is, this game is actually fun and can provide a unique gameing experience. If you like RPG's, I would say to give this a rent and play for more then 2 hours and then decide from there.
Gameplay: The main story of the game revolves around you having to rescue your sister. That pretty much sums it as shortly as possible. But this game's shine is not with the main story line, it's with everything else this game has to offer. When compared to Oblivion's Create-A-Character feature, Oblivion takes it hands down. But Two Worlds makes up for it with it's Items and Item System. Everything is practically customizable from armor to potions. Two Worlds allows players to "stack" items to create more powerful weapons. Which gives players an endless amount of options when wanting to be more powerfull for that next boss.
There is a Xbox Live feature where players create a new character to player online, but can enjoy doing the same missions fron the Single Player with along of Xbox Live exclusive missions but with friends.
Graphics: With first glance, the graphics in Two Worlds seem mediocre and not Next-Gen, but it's not until you actually roam the huge world that Two Worlds has to offer that you realize that the graphics are truely are Next-Gen.
Now don't get me wrong, the game was vast issues with Framerates as to present an "Offline Lag" that can slow down the simpliest tasks to a halt but can make a battle with multiple enemies run as smooth as can be.
Audio: The audio in Two Worlds is unlike no other. The "Battle" music when fighting enemies that triggers is plaon and boring. On the other hand the environment music, I say is alot better and gives the player a feeling of truely exploring the mountain side or the forest. With birds chirping and steaming rivers to ghost filled caves.
One thing some gamers found annoying was the sayings that the players character says at random points in the game. When running around and it begins to rain the character may say " Great.... Rain Again" or "It's Raining It's Pouring". To name a few. My favorite is when I just killed a bandit, he just bursts out into laughter as he walks away.
Suggestions: My suggestion to SouthPeak would be: A Patch is needed so that most of the Major Issues can be fixed so that other players can enjoy this title.
