With Two Worlds due for European release next week, there are big concerns about the already released US version. Site & reader reviews alike either seem to love it or hate it. One thing seems certain is that there are numerous design faults & glitches. Whether the majority of these can be fixed with patches via XBLA remains to be seen. In the meantime, here is an in-depth video review which showcases the bad.. and the very good.
Two Worlds releases Fri 7th Sept (UK & Europe)

First one was garbage. The second was a janky cheese-fest. And then their follow-up release, Raven's Cry, wasn't even complete at launch; doing so badly they re-released it under a new title more than a year later ... still not complete.
I'm probably in the minority but I loved the second one! I acknowledge that it wasn't a great game but I enjoyed it thoroughly and even platinumed it >_<
The first one was pretty bad, but I enjoyed the second despite its flaws. A bit rough around the edges, but it was a pretty decent RPG.
The first one just had too many big glitches. The second was much smoother and had more polish
"Two Worlds is a weird game. But that’s fine, because that’s why it’s worth talking about.
"It didn’t sit with critics all too well on its release back in 2007, but take a quick look at its GoG page and you’ll find glowing review after glowing review.
"Along with many people, I also like it – even though it's absolutely terrible."
Yea, two worlds 2 was great. Lots of great mod tools too which were super fun. Nothing about the game was done well, but something about playing it with a few friends was just a fun time. Thought I was the only one.
I really enjoyed both entries. I wish they would attempt another and keep the unprofessional voice actors, but improve the AI so they react to you stealing their stuff and such. The bad English gave the game a unique personality and added a lair of humor not found in other RPG's.
There's something genuinely great about a game that's so bad it's good - probably because it's a rarer thing to find in gaming than, say, movies.
Back in the day I got obsessed with a really weird FPS called PO'ed. It was rubbish in so many ways, but it had more personality and character than pretty much any other shooter I've ever played.
Ignoring the cheesy dialog, the PC version of the first Two Worlds was actually a good game. The 360 version was a complete mess though.
We all like to play video games with our friends. However, there are many games that will strain a relationship as players struggle to work together. This list commemorates the most frustrating games to play with a friend, or anyone for that matter.
He recommends the game only to RPG fans, and also only those that can get over the framerate and lag issues.
I'll wait on the patch to fix that.
Why is this game exclusive to the 360, it is games like this that should be going multi-platform, not games like Haze and Bioshock going exclusive. ;)
Hope there might be patches fixing the issues, though it seems like the issues are so widespread that they pretty much are a component of the gameplay(the bug minigame)LOL. :)
The game just looks very old and outdated, and the voice acting does not sound like any real effort.
i got this game from gamefly.......sucked so bad i didnt even keep playing it ta get a single achievement i just sent it right back
There are some interesting Reader Reviews over on IGN which illustrate the love it or hate it thing...
