Oblivion Clone

User Rating: 7.5 | Two Worlds X360
For an RPG fan, this game is definitely worth it. The character progression and vast amount of items to collect and places to visit will give the avid role-player hours of fun.
This game garnered massive criticism from reviewers for looking bad and having choppy gameplay. And some of the worst voice acting on a modern video game.
So there is nothing good I can say about the voice acting. It was like they had no direction whatsoever. A side character asked me to find his family heirloom, which he pronounced 'hairloom'. The worst violator is the main character who is continuously spouting 'That's interesting' even when he picks up the most mundane rock lying on the ground, or pulling the heart out the the 200th wolf he's slain.
Otherwise, the cons have been overstated- The game looks pretty enough, some people are ugly, some are pretty. Once you get armor to cover all of you, your avatar looks pretty good. There is some amount of pop-up, but I never found it excessive. I think the developers tried to put too much stuff on screen at once.
As for choppy gameplay, this is once again a stat driven combat system. So sometimes it will seem like you are swinging and missing a lot. Well, that is probably because the stats are telling the engine that you are missing a lot.
For an RPG enthusiast like myself, there is a lot to like about this game. There is lots of leveling, and each level will give you stats and a skill point (almost identical to Diablo 2). But you can also earn skill points by making discoveries, killing certain amounts of enemies and picking locks. The map has a similar method to Oblivion in that there is a bit of hand-holding during quests, markers show you exactly where you need to go. The plot is fairly vanilla, but certainly not as bad as a lot of other games, and much better than that of most shooters.
And as a 360 owner, we don't have much choice if we want to play something other than a shooter. Why not give Two Worlds a chance?
