User Rating: 7.5 | Two Worlds X360
I got it today and have played it all day. My first impression was bad. The voice acting is inconsistent as is the frame rate. The UI isn't as smooth or pretty as it should be, though it is functional. However: the more I played it, the more it grew on me. The quests are decent as is the main plot. The combat is also pretty damn cool. It does draw you in, eventually, but this is definitely not a game for everyone. It's a lot more "old school" then Oblivion in that it doesn't hold your hand. It's up to you to decide what you're ready to fight and what you aren't. I do like the old school leveling and skill distribution better then Oblivion's skill level-by-repetition method. I also liked the horse mechanics better then Oblivion's, though I don't fight from horseback much because it feels too limiting to me. It's a lot more like riding a real horse then other games I've played that treat the horse like a car or other vehicle. I didn't have any problems with my horse getting stuck either. I would give it a 7.5 if asked to give a score. I will keep it and probably play it through to the end. I'll probably even try the multiplayer. If you liked old school, hardcore RPGs like Wizardry, Ultima and the first 3 elder scrolls, you'll probably like this game. It isn't as pretty as Oblivion, but it is just good enough to keep you somewhat immersed in the game.

BTW: I found that turning down the "HDR lighting intensity" under the options helped the frame rate quite a bit. Yes... on the XBox 360 version...
