RoboAwesome's Two Worlds II | Review (Xbox 360)

Two Worlds II is one of those games that people might not take seriously. Some might not even give it the time of day just because of the horrid memories of the first Two Worlds. At least that’s what they tell me. I guess I lucked out and was never tempted to play the first one, so I did not have any preconceived notions. It’s always good to dive into a game with a clean slate. Everything seems fresh and new.

I didn't notice this arm thing myself..? But I did notice the glitch of running down the stairs and hitting that area where it thinks you are falling. The 100 ft thing is an exageration, as I lost only a little health and just healed myself. And learned to listen to my mom and not run up and down the stairs.

I did notice that many people who play this game don't realize there are multiple types of damage you can take from different creatures. And that you might be well defended against bludgeoning but maybe not so much against slashing damage?

I watched my friend get ripped apart by a gang of skeletons and wonder why they took him apart so quickly. Maybe he shouldn't run into the middle of a group of enemies??? And then he had a 20ft stone creature pummel him in 2 blows. Here is an idea... don't let that huge thing hit you!

Game is entertaining and I have just reached chapter 3 and still going strong... got about 51 game hours into already, sitting at level 37 with my character. Haven't touched online component yet, so can't relay how good or bad that might be. Most have actually liked it from what I have read.

Very insightful comments. Your are a true RPG guy. Not a perfect game because of technical issues. But as you pointer out:"Game is entertaining". That is the only reason I play games.

Tex1175240d ago

Im with you, the game is entertaining, but by hour 25 I was tired of it.

Only on level 37 at hour 51? What are you doing?!

I was at 34 in about 21 hours.

I realized that completing quests give way more experience than killing enemies, so if you just run past them and finish the quest, then you level up at lightining speed. Yes, I know that takes away the fun, but by that time, I just wanted to game to end.

I'm not really into the running past and just getting to the end thing. I actually interact with all the characters that I can, and try to make sure I don't miss anything that is in the game. If that means opening every chest and picking every lock in the game then that is me.

Of course once I got my lock-picking achievment I went all brutal and started busting any lock and door that was over average level.

I messed around a lot with my Superman skills of being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. I think my current magic card has jump ability boosted to 359% or something like that? I also maxed out a few weapons with some nice crystals and anything on the main island gets dealt with easily with a backhand swat.

I did like the way that the different chapters brought in stronger enemies. I was getting worried in the first chapter that I was so powerful but luckily ran into some stronger creatures in the latter chapters.

The 3rd level was a beast until I learned that my earthquake magic card gave me a little cheating death stab sometimes if it made the rocks appear inside the creature. That and my bow was maxed out good with some fast arrows.

But once again it appears I start writting a novel when discussing games I am playing.

But to end the reply... I do like the fact that I am finished with the game now but still able to wander the land and get some things achieved. I think I have killed EVERYTHING in the world though.ha

After Nine Years, Two Worlds II Gets Final Single-Player Expansion Next Month

Topware Interactive will deliver the final piece of single-player DLC for its 2010 RPG Two Worlds II early next month.

I enjoyed this game on my X360, much better than the first one. Sucks we have to wait so long for TW3. I hope they port this game to PS4/X1 in the meantime, especially after all these updates and new expansions. Would certainly help build some hype for the third entry, at least a little.

rawshack2052d ago

Yes it's a very underrated games I'm all so hoping it gets port to ps4 one day

MadLad2052d ago

Guess they're officially done milking the only passable game they've released. They can always rename Raven's Cry again and pull a couple more sales from the unknowing public.

Played this on PS3 it wasn’t bad for a B game but in no way did it “offer an array of unique approaches to classic game elements” and sure as hell didn’t push any envelopes. Why release this multiplayer so many years later ? They should re-release for this gen consoles for 19.99 with the updates

winter_hill2503d ago

I enjoyed this game, much better than the first one. With Two Worlds 3 coming next year, I would love to see a remaster of this on current gen.

lol what ? i thought this 2010/2011 game was dead already and now they are adding micro transactions ?? at least as the article said they are adding dlcs.

MadLad2934d ago (Edited 2934d ago )

From the same people that provided me a review copy of Raven's Cry then, when I gave the game a 1 due to the fact I found it unfinished, threatened me with defamation (nothing ever happened there).
Then, when they re-released the game on Steam as "Vendetta" claimed everything was fixed (even though it wasn't broken in the first place, right), but then refused to give me code for the re-release.

That re-release sits at a highly negative status on Steam, with most claiming they can't even run the game.
Just saying.

TheColbertinator2934d ago

Raven's Cry was broken. Everything gaming shouldn't be.

MilkMan2933d ago

Huh? I thought this game was done and done?
