TwoWorlds is a keeper - Reviewed on 2008-03-11

If you enjoy playing Oblivion and Gothic, you will enjoy this game, too. It is not on a par with those games, but does have a number of elements from each plus other RPG games such as Sacred. It is outstanding in load time and game saving options. The graphics are not quite up to Oblivion standards, but better than Gothic. Early in the game, the hero dies a lot, but it is fun figuring a way to overcome opponents. Later, after acquiring stronger weapons, much armor and many spells, the opponents are either too easy, offering little challenge or too hard, killing the hero with a single blow. I have not completed the game yet, but will probably replay it later with a difficult setting.

The game has serious flaws that prevent it from being what I would call a good RPG.
First, it has a drab plot and comically bad dialog. The old English style of speaking is made even more rediculous by the crummy voice acting. It makes it hard to get into the game's already lackluster story.
Second, the action is repetitive and seems unbalanced. Magic isn't nearly as powerful or effective as melee or bow, with the exception of healing, which you will no doubt use frequently. The character development is pretty standard but not bad, as you do advance in power as you move through the game, learning new abilities from trainers when/if you find them and increasing your core stats.
Horseback riding is frustrating at best, but transport is made easy because of teleport nodes.
Sidequests are boring, for the most part, and pretty standard. You are given some choices as to whether you are "good" or "evil", but for the most part the ethics system of this game are poorly implemented. If you slaughter an entire town, no one really seems to care. The result is that you never really feel the effects of your moral choices.
The graphics are good, if poorly optimized. Be sure to update your video card.
The game isn't as bad as it could be, but certainly isn't worth the price. Even if Oblivion was never released, this game wouldn't be a good example of an RPG. It lacks the attention to detail, interesting plot, dynamic world, and engaging combat that would make it a great game. Buy it only once its cheap.
