As a fan of role playing games, it pains me to see Two Worlds released in such a haphazard condition. It's actually an entertaining, rewardingly difficult RPG, unfortunately locked up in a graphical engine wrought with massive problems, containing gameplay riddled with design issues, and features a currently lag-filled multiplayer. Until the developer of Two Worlds releases a patch to alleviate the variety of problems plaguing Two Worlds, this is a rainy day afternoon rental at best.

Even with the many amusing flaws that I encountered, including the birdlike motion your character does when jumping, the constant freeze frame when you encounter a new area, and the witty dry boasting your character does when vanquishing evil, there really is no reason to check out Two Worlds unless you are looking for the solid Oblivion filler. If you are, then Two Worlds is your next buy. There's a lot to Two Worlds that will take you an eternity to complete. This is probably the biggest draw to the game that I can mention. It is one of those games that you can put down, wait a while, come back to it, and rekindle the enjoyment you had the first time around. So race out, dive into the world of Two Worlds, and find out for yourself the mysteries of the Taint.

I could go on and on about why Two Worlds is a catastrophe, but so much negativity makes my head hurt. I should mention the lame Collector's Edition includes a map and a small book that, believe it or not, acts as a manual for a table-top RPG. I had no idea there was so much clamoring for a pen-and-paper RPG based on Two Worlds. Usually a company waits for their game to be a success before translating it to another medium, so I can only assume Southpeak and Topware thought they had something golden on their hands that would light the world on fire. Sorry to break the news to you, but the only thing that should be lit on fire is the DVD this game is on.
