A lot of anoyances hold this game back from being the Oblivion it was supposed to be, enjoyable nonetheless.
The main issue of the game is the interface, the messy PDA system and broken missions panel make the game frustratingly tedious and complicated to navigate, having to flick back to the map and check which direction your going in. Mini-Map? We don't need no workin' mini-map! said the South Peak developers. The Devs must be on some diffrent planet, since there might as well be no mini-map.
There ae numorous other little anoyances, one would be the horrific voice acting. You'll be constantly plagued by a monotoned half-wit commenting on the weather. and it's not just the main character, oh no, it's EVERY NPC IN THE WHOLE GAME. Even the orcs seemed to have had a cheap voice actor.
Terrible SFX aside, the game sports a huge gameworld, filled with lush forests, baron landscapes and beautiful villages and towns. At times you'll thank the awful map just so you have an excuse to go trotting off into the black areas of the map.
On most of the ads, it says that Two Worlds has a unique combat and magic system. The combat system is unique enough, but the magic is more like a cheap auto-aim. Combat consists of three buttons. X draws your sword/stave/bow. RT swings/fires it and B will make you jump back to avoid attacks.
Enemies aren't varied that much. Animal and creature textures look almost 2D at times and they rotate the same pattern, again and again. It's easy enough to kill a bear at level one, hit, and when it rears to attack, jump back, repeat. The process gets old after a while. Foretunatly the huge game world doesn't have enough creatures and bad guys.
The story is confusing at times, and the map interface really does't help.
Overall, I think only hardcore RPG fans should purchase Two Worlds. It's ejoyable enough, just make sure Oblivion is out of sight....
