    Featuring a huge open world environment and loads of choices fro individualists, Two Worlds II can easily appeal to any adventurer. Some minor graphical issues are apparent, but do never decrease the motivation to play significantly.

    Still, this is a damn fun title if you're interested in a deep action-RPG, especially if you expected very little after the wildly strange, often severely disappointing first game. And if you can get past the rough parts, it's exciting and addictive in all the ways you probably expect out of a good European RPG.

    Don't let the reputation of the previous game, nor the niggling bugs that permeate the title scare you away. Once those are scratched away a pleasant open action RPG awaits.

    Two Worlds is atmospheric and exiting, vast and addictive. It has some pretty big flaws though that can't be ignored.

    Tuck away the painful memories of the first game and try out this one. You'll feel some validation…even if it takes a little while to get there.

    There are parts of me that are objectively bad, yes. But there are also things that are just obtuse or antiquated, and if people can look past that stuff or even embrace it, there's absolute merit to me.

    Two Worlds II is just a pale shadow of the games it attempts to imitate. While exceptional open-world RPGs like Oblivion and Fallout: New Vegas encourage exploration by hiding pieces of narrative and flavor in every little corner of the map, the massive fields of Two Worlds II are lifeless and empty.

I thought the first game was a disaster. WIth that said, this game is phenomenal, it seems TopWare took their heads out of their german asses and actually got to work. The games cutscenes, graphical detail, character, armorments, and crafting mechanics are simply amazing. On a wierd note, the games lockpicking sequences are the best I've ever seen in any game. Please buy it, even if you thought the first one was trash like I did; you will enjoy this game I promise. Expand

    I too thought the first game was a sad sad game. Im talking 50% at best.
    Two Worlds 2 however is really good. 85% (Im rounding up to a 9/10 for this grading scale)

    Learning curve is there, and it takes some getting use too, dialog is off (but it was originally German game right?)
    In the end I am very happy with it. I am glad I bought it. Map is huge, and I can see myself playing this game for the next year.

There are some problems with the interface, and some graphical issues on the 360, however, the game looks really good, and the story is very well told, and engrossing. Makes you feel as if you've really landed in a real world. The first part of the game, the first 2 - 3 hours is a bit lame, but once you round the curve, WOW, its really a very good game, and I think quite original in that I couldn't tell what was about to happen in a given story. Its not a polished game, but it really delivers on originality in a way that, dare I say, Dragon Age and Oblivion DO NOT. Dragon Age was a great game but every situation and story seemed both derivative and predictable, and Oblivion also gets quite predictable in its myriad of stories. Expand

The back story and info on characters in quite in-depth and there's plenty of options to customise your characters appearance. When you start playing you'll be greeted with some impressive vista's that include detailed grass and tree's that span right into the distance..
    Once you get into some action you notice that your character is not class based unlike a few other RPG's, instead you apply skill points to your abilities such as mage, warrior, assassin, and ranger. Combine this with quick weapon and armour switching, and you'll be able to play as one of three classes at any one time. The weapons and armour selection is via a crafting system where all items are broken down into basic components such as a shield into wood, a helmet into leather and a sword into iron etc.. These components can then be used to upgrade your existing items and make them vastly more powerful. As with most RPG's you'll need to save you're progress often to avoid having to redo things if you get killed, so make sure you set the auto-save time to a fairly frequent time,
    If your character is mainly magic focused then there's another section of the crafting system that deals with spells. This spell system is based on cards that carry attributes. For instance, you may have a fire card, if you were to combine this with a projectile card you'll get a fireball, add in a ricochet card and you'll have a fireball that bounces between enemies. There's a whole range of different modifiers and base types for you to play with and experiment with so that you can create spells to suit your gaming style, added to the card system are modifiers based on elements such as earth, water, fire, air, life and death, these spells go into an amulet, and you can have three amulets active at any one time. If that's not enough customisation for you there's also an alchemy system, that you can top up by taking raw elements from corpses, these include wolf-claw and baboon tongue etc with which you can use to create potions.

Two Worlds II certainly managed to doA far more playable experience than its predecessor, but ultimately missing some integral aspects. Two Worlds II certainly managed to do better than the prequel - however, this game has a story that also seemed to go absolutely nowhere while also offering a less interesting system of weapon mechanics. What you'll likely be left with is an experience that is just not very memorable.

    Two Worlds II, to me, feels remarkably unremarkable. Were it not for the original game, I think this game would be brushed aside as a banal, AA attempt at an action RPG. It isn't particularly bad or offensive - it simply exists without standing out or presenting anything particularly compelling.

    Ceci, ce truc, ce machin est la suite du premier (épisode ? non, je crois qu'ils n'en feront... qu'ils n'en commetteront pas d'autres !) àCeci, ce truc, ce machin est la suite du premier (épisode ? non, je crois qu'ils n'en feront... qu'ils n'en commetteront pas d'autres !) à savoir un navet vidéo-pas-ludique de son triste état et encore une vague, très vague resucée d'Oblivion, du moyen Oblivion, lequel à côté de ce navet pas frais est un vrai petit chef-d'oeuvre (eh oui, tout est si... relatif !).

    D'ailleurs, ça commence quasiment pareil que dans le premier : encore le blaireau et sa soeur enlevée par un gros méchant en grosse armure, menaçant et vindicatif... et comme dans le premier, on peste rapidement devant une mégachiée de défauts, une pluie de défauts et de trucs mal faits qui vous tombent dessus au fur et à mesure que l'on tente de jouer à cette espèce de "jeu de rôle" de pacotille...

    L'interface bien qu'un peu modifiée est toujours aussi foutraque, le maniement toujours aussi merdique, le combat est à la rue (comme d'habitude ) la musique est ridiculement emphatique mais deux choses ont changé : le doublage français est encore pire (!) et la technique a contre toute attente progressé : malgré des déchirements de l'image et (encore) des ralentissements, ça tourne presque correctement ! le jeu est aussi un peu moins vilain mais faut pas faire son difficile.

    Quoi qu'il en soit, on ne va pas s'étendre davantage sur ce maudit bidule qui ne vaut vraiment pas un pet, fût-il de travers : c'est un étron !
