anyway 7.0 is not bad for this game, it got higher score than GODDES OF WAR / LAIR and i can pick it and play it befor HS/LAIR even ships to stores OPS

[JsonHenry]

This game SUCKS. Plain and simple. Doesn't matter what platform you are playing it on.

Go out and buy Gothic 3.

[reaperxciv]

it wasn't hyped up to be a AAA game anyhow, no great loss

[snoop_dizzle]

i haven't heard much about it.

[Nostradavis]

Wow I am getting old because I have no idea what "AAA" means....

[snoop_dizzle]

is basically a big game thats really good with high reviews.

[Nostradavis]

Thanks for the clarification Snoop.

[Robotz Rule]

Xbox fanboys mentioning it on their Xbox 360's killer AAA titles list.

@LexLuthour

Don't play dumb dude,even I thought Lair,Warhawk,and Heavenly Sword were gonna be killer AAA titles but I admitted to being wrong,I remember some of you Xbox boys yappin about Xbox 360's killer AAA titles and Two Worlds never failed to be mentioned.

[snoop_dizzle]

i hate lists.

[iceice123]

You're an idiot though. I can't imagine many people thought this was going to be AAA. It didn't even have any hype at all. But what ever you need to say to comfort yourself...

[ShiftyLookingCow]

yes I certainly remember some 360 fanboys listing Two Worlds in their "AAA" lists, I didn't think it was AAA after reading some of the European reviews(it was released there earlier)

[Loudninja]

I really like games like this, nad the review is not bad

[Lex Luthor]

Since when was Two Worlds AAA?

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Who called this game AAA? I remember it being mentioned in release lists but no one I read ever bragged about it. Heck, people hardly typed in the articles on this site. This game has problems but minus the online I am having one hell of an adventure. Glad I bought the strategy guide the quest guide in game is terrible. And a score of 7 is better than some unmentionable games do to sensitive people.

[RadientFlux]

It's around the score I thought it would get. I am going still pick it up once I am done Bioshock. I love western RPGs

[Bloodmask]

Unoptimized PC code ported directly to 360. Horrible framerates. Almost unplayable in my book. I guess I'll wait another 4 years to get another true open ended masterpiece from Bethesda.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

fallout 3 looks promising

[ParaDise_LosT]

you can wait for Bethesdas Fallout 3, Biowares Mass Effect is right around the corner.

[heroman711]

no mean to be a fanboy but u guys were talking smack bout our games so what goes around comes around. as for me i wont be making fun of u guys but i will not try to stop the ps3 fanboys

[Hugh Hefner]

I haven't seen any 360 fan bragging about Two Worlds... but I saw dozens of Sony fans bragging about HS, Lair and Warhawk (which all have gotten mixed reviews)

[Ignorant Fanboy]

They might have said it was going to be a good game, and it is.

But I never heard anybody saying it was going to be AAA

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

i downloaded the video on the marketplace and what i saw was trash...i was kinda right, it actually got higher than i expected...

[Goshyujin_Sama]

360 game down the crapper

[iceice123]

You must have the 360 game library confused with your PS3s. All there games are going to be AAA you just have to wait b3yond. Then they end up getting 7-8s. Yeah, you really have the lists confused, sony girl.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

yeah this stupid game(check videos of man eating bear) gets a 7 just 2 pts off Bioshock, very f'king lame they take one pt off Bioshock to look unbiased.

edit: I dont claim to be unbiased by any means. Also I am saying 7 is too much for a glitchy game in comparison to Bioshock.

[Nostradavis]

haha. Yes and by the look of your icon i am sure you are "unbiased". Please man, check yourself before you run your mouth.

[Captain Tuttle]

It scored so high. Everything I've heard confirms this game's a turd.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

but i got a disagree....*sigh*, fanboys

[ShiftyLookingCow]

yep

[Raistlin]

This was never going to be AAA, but I was excited for it. I wanted it for an Oblivion hang-over cure. Then they did away with the co-op, then the bugs and then the framerate. Oh well, can't win them all.

[Chabbs0]

it is good! it grows on you massively, i think people are just put of by the level of difficulty at the beginning and the frame rate drops that are being worked on as we speak.
I'd also wait for a respectable site to review it, like IGN which i believe comes out tomorow

[Nostradavis]

A respectable site? Shows how informed you are. Most of the writers that write reviews on 1up and IGN write for Ripten and other sites as well. At the end of the day one writers review is just that persons opinion. Read the review and don't focus so much on the final score. Find out what you think is fact and what you think is opinion, sort the rest out yourself and decide if the game is worth your time and your money.

[Marceles]

So much for this beating out Oblivion. I think I remember the devs for Two Worlds putting down Oblivion and practically taunting it and saying it was nothing...well this is a review from Ripten, so I'll wait for the bigger gaming sites to review this. So far this makes the Two Worlds devs look stupid for even mentioning Oblivion in the same breath

[xCAPTSTONERB91x]

omg this game is so bad i couldnt even stand the first 5 mins of it. it is so confusing and the graphics make me feel like im playin a ps1. thank god i gameflyed this piece of crap

[Numark]

this game is horrible, no one buy it. And no one was thinking this was AAA. I was looking forward to it, but to ever think this would come close to oblivion would be stupid.

[ParaDise_LosT]

My friend got this game for his PC...
7.0 is a stupid ass score for this game..
It should be like a 2.0 or 5.0...
It sucked B A D.....It was like a Ps2 or gamecube game thats been
splashed with turtle wax to look shiny...

[doomsonyman]

FLOPAGE

[ElementX]

I always knew this game would suck.

[Evoluti0n]

but you're wrong. Plain and simple, and I guess by your statement Lair and Heavenly sword 'suck' as well, right?

They both got at least one 7 rating.

[ElementX]

I've read lots of user reviews which say "don't buy this game" so i'm going to believe it.

[Daytona]

The technical glitches it has can be fixed via/an xboxlive download, so not a problem, "unless", they don't intend to fix them.

[Double-Edged]

"I'm still getting this game"

[iceice123]

As we all know reviews don't matter unless they're postative about my PS3 games. If they're negative then that reviewer is paid by M$ to tell lies, cuz all meh games on meh PS3 are triple A.

@ mistertwoturbo

Uhh how again does dumping money on a dev make a game better? It's not magic for god sakes.

[mistertwoturbo]

And the 360fanboy would say

"Gears is better than Unreal Tournament III" Even though that game is also coming out for the 360.

"Blue Dragon is going to kick Final Fantasy's butt" even though that got mediocre reviews.

"Forza 2 is better than GT5" pshh... one tire of GT5 probably has more polygons than a whole car of forza.

"Virtua Fighter 5 is better on the 360" Even though the characters look more plasticky

"MGS4 is coming to the 360!" favorite of 360 fanboys. Although I agree it probably will come out 1 year after the PS3 in the form of a 10 dvd special edition box set with watered down graphics.

"Halo 3 will pwn everything" that's why a AAA title like Halo 3 was released too early because of a multiplatform title called GTAIV. Isn't Halo 3 supposed to be the pride and joy of Microsoft, yet they care more about GTAIV to dump $50 million into that game. Why didn't they just dump $50 million into Halo 3 to make it a better game? Silly silly microsoft.

[Chabbs0]

I really would, some people just wimp out 10 mins in , cos they die too much and dont like the feel of it.

My advise, play it for a few hours and you will not want too swtich it off!

[Loudninja]

I still dont think htis game is as bad as people make it out ot be.

[Maddens Raiders]

o_0

[gogators]

the biggest problem with this game is the voice acting (terrible), the inventory menu, the map, and the quest menu. Other than that, the framerate does drop, but it doesn't affect it's play. There is a good amount of draw-in, but it too doesn't affect gameplay. I like the weapon, armour, and magic spell stacking. I like being able to stack enchantments on the go. The multiplayer part is useless for now, but otherwise the game isn't to bad once you start to get comfortable with the game itself.

[Silver360]

played it for 2 hours now I am hooked. It is very complicated to learn what everything is but the more you play the easier it gets. Not as easy to get into as oblivion but still worth playing if you like RPG's.
Game it pretty also just has ridiculous load screens popping up.

[Evoluti0n]

it gives a really bad impression, but as you go on, it just gets addictive as hell. You can stack weapons that are the same, and make one better weapon. You can make your own potions with temp/permanent effects, name it whatever you want, do whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want.

The framerate is an issue, and the graphics aren't great, but I am hooked. The story, from what I've played of the main quest is pretty good too, and the world is HUGE.

Don't count this game out by the first impressions, it will def grow on you.

[BoneMagnus]

The framerate is not bad - it loads from time to time like Oblivion does...and the interface is kinda clunky, but it works.

Imagine Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance with an open world like Oblivion and a movable camera(not fixed. That's the game - tons of weapons,monsters, items, and quests. Huge Game.

Its not for everyone, but for some of us, its great!

[Ahhhh]

It is absolutely true tho... sO many ps3 fans were saying Warhawk/HS/Lair would be AAA titles for the Ps3 but there reviews? not so much of an AAA game.. now the only game i think looks good out of those 3 is WarHawk but im not to much into flying games.. HS = God Of War.. Lair.. dont look too bad actually but not an AAA game in my opinion... but i dont think iv seen any "xbox" list this game as an AAA game for the x360?

[Assumedkilla]

This game is awful everything in this game is bad the graphics, frame rate, voice acting, mindless combat, and everything else. This is pretty much the Alpha version of Oblivion with really bad multiplayer thats unplayable due to lag. It was supposed to have online co-op but it got dropped (atleast in the 360 version). I say avoid this game at all costs if you want to play a RPG really bad go play Oblivion again or import Folklore.

[Havince]

is it any good

i may rent this 1st just to be sure

[elrmelon]

First hour of this game was very frustrating, but after i learned how to use the map and navigate my way around it became impossible to stop playing. I hope people that bought it give it more of a chance, this game is loads of fun.

[Groo]

The first half hour of playing this I was pissed off, I didn't know wtf was going on, I could figure out how to do anything but swing my sword. The first few faces you see look like sh!t. I can see why ppl don't like it cause all they play is half and hour max and get pissed and turn it off, like I almost did. This game is not very user friendly. Oblivion has ppl spoiled cause its so easy to play. Don't get me wrong, I love Oblivion, but this game gets fun after you actually figure out how to do sh!t, combine weapons, make potions etc.. There are no tutorials to help so unless you are a die hard rpg fan, which I think this game was targeted for, you will get pissed at first. I love it now that I've figured out how the hell it works.

[Evoluti0n]

Same here, I'm glad I actually gave it a shot.

[pacific1]

I have this game as well on the 360 and to me the graphics are atrocious, the dialogue is some of the worst I have ever heard and the framerate is like a slide show whenever you move the camera. I do not understand why anyone would play this game when there are so many amazing games out (bioshock for instance). I was looking forward to this game becuase I was thinking it would be an online coop Oblivionesque game (which I love). This is not the case. The online coop is not at all what I expected and the lag/framerate is so bad it really doesn't matter. I guess you could power through and overlook these problems and the uninteresting story but why waste your life. Honestly the voice acting sets a new low bar for the industry, maybe Kung-Fu Chaos was worse, maybe. Forget comparing this to Oblivion, even Fable on original XBOX completely and utterly annihilates this game in every way.

[Evoluti0n]

Probably not long at all. I have it and, like I've said before, the graphics aren't that great, the voice acting isn't the greatest, and the framerate, while choppy, doesn't really bother me that much.

Power through it? Nah man, I'm taking my time, enjoying it. If you can get past the first hour, and overlook the games flaws, it is pretty damn addictive.

But to say the game is unplayable, that's a stretch.

Uninteresting story? Like I said, you probably didn't play more than a couple of minutes, turned it off, and cursed at the game. Where I'm at in the story, it's along the same lines in quality as Oblivion, that's my opinion on that.

I already beat Bioshock, so that's done, now I've got Two Worlds, and after that, Halo 3.

If you don't like the game you're entitled to your opinion, but to say it's unplayable? Well, I was just playing this morning...

EDIT: I like how you posted the same comment in 3 different articles, that's classic.

[Groo]

I love bioshock, i got it thursday and spent all weekend on it, beat it with both endings. I hear what you are saying, yes there are flaws that arent up to par so to speak for a next gen game, but like i said, if you rough it through for a bit and actually learn how to play it, its not bad. coop was a little laggy with just me and a friend but it was fun. I haven't played too many rpgs, i can probably count how many on both hands, and thats why this one pissed me off at first, but I'm learning this system and I like it so far. I would not recommend it to everyone thought

[PimpHandHappy]

Two Worlds got a bit of hype and was going to be the first 360 game to play along with PC gamers! If this game was a 9 you still wouldnt see PC gamers join! They can play other games online for free!

This isnt a big blow to the 360 by no means! U have Bio Shock halo3 and ME this year! Shouldnt that be enough to keep u busy the rest of the year? U can always relive 06 and turn on Gears of War if u need to see why u love MS!

[Groo]

Ah good ol'e PHH showin his support lol
