Two Worlds
Date undefinedThis game had a lot of hype attached to it when I was first told about it in gamestop. The clerk there had asked if I liked Oblivion or any other RPGs. I had said yes. He told me it would be a little bit like Oblivion but 3rd person. I won't be discussing the similarities and differences based on Oblivion. I am just letting everyone know how I came to hear of this game.
My girlfriend had pre-ordered this for me as a gift. When I got it, I played it for hours until I beat it. Even if I do not enjoy a game, I still try my best to play it to the end, to have the full experience and full opinion. I have played a variety of games. Anything from Hitman, to Diablo, to STALKER, to Startopia, Warhammer, Fallout, all sorts of games and I enjoy every variety.
I wasn't too impressed with this. The official site had promised a change in the world of the game, based on whether you are good or evil. It talked about necromancy not being available until you discover it, along with no zombies until you "activate" the necromancy branch.
I was led on to believe many things about this game before I played it. And I would actually point out that the official site lied a LOT.
There were many pros and cons to this game.
Pros:
1. You start off weak, you really need to work on your character to fight the numerous creatures throughout the game.
2. Many different types of enemies, up to the end of the game.
3. You can kill anything. If a villager tells you about a reward and wants you to do a quest, you can actually just kill them and take it. Or anyone else for that matter.
4. You can stack weapons and armor to create stronger versions. This is great when you enjoy the look of an armor or if you want to keep a specific weapon style.
5. Very large map to play in
6. Beautiful HDR lighting to the point of realism to sun sensitivity
Cons:
1. You have a predefined character as a human male, warrior. To be anything else takes quite a few hours to actually be much of anything.
2. Bows were practically useless, as was most magic. The hack and slash way of fighting was most effective.
3. Misleading info on the actual SITE. When you end the game, whether you choose good or bad, only determines the end cutscene, after that, you are done playing.
4. Phone activation
5. So so voice acting
6. Not much to the fighting style, you swing, you swing, you swing. No combos, no variety to fighting moves.
7. Blood is horribly rendered, just a small red splotch on the screen.
8. Horse riding is very inefficent, not worth fighting on the horse itself. Hard to control while riding
9. At times the missions tended to be confusing.
Conclusion:
In the end, if I had not payed the $50 and payed around $10, I would had been happy with it. You get what you pay for. It isn't the best game out there, but it isn't the worse. I give it 4/10 overall. Not for me, even though I have played huge varieties of games, and have played many RPGs even.

Date undefinedI bought the Royal Edition (European collectors) when it first came out and I had a great time playing this game. It was my first successful venture into the RPG area of gaming. Yes, compared to Oblivion the character choice is limited, but the battles are great and unlike Oblivion when you die you are ressurected (unless you play on Hard).
I didn't like trying to direct the horses so gave up on that and simply ran around. Unlike Oblivion the world is not so large that this is a hardship. I never managed to get the portal teleport to work though which is a nuisance and in both this game and Oblivion they really need to work underground as in Titan Quest. Otherwise you spend a lot of time having get out of caves and travelling to the nearest teleport so you can sell your loot which is boring.
I liked the magic system in it, although it has been changed from the original 1.0 version so that more effects are temporary rather than permanent, a mistake in my opinion. Also I love being able to stack my favourite amour/equipment to make it stronger - this is a great idea.
This game got me interested in RPG playing and I think others who haven't tried this genre will enjoy giving this a trial.
There is one warning for the future however. In the Game of the Year Edition(European) the Tainted Blood add-on is only available for MULTIPLAYERS and my understanding, from reviews in the European press, is that The Temptation will be the same. What annoyed me when I bought the Game of the Year pack was that there is no warning whatsoever on the packaging to say this so I wasted about $50 buying it and I was really disappointed that I couldn't continue my adventures. So if, like me, you don't play online don't bother to buy either Tainted Blood or Temptation unless they change them so single players can play them, too.
