I bought this game because I expected it to be like Oblivion, which I really love. All the reviews compare Two Worlds to Oblivion. I think this is a mistake. Two Worlds is not in the same league, and it doesn't even feel similar to it. The gameplay in Two Worlds feels more like 'Baldur's Gate' than Oblivion. So when I first played it I felt a bit disappointed.
Another major issue which put me off at the beginning was the writing and map in the game. The writing is SO tiny you cannot read it (perhaps it is better on an HD TV - which I don't have) and the map and missions are very difficult to navigate and get the hang of. I had to use my remote to zoom in on the screen in order to be able to read anything, and even then some things I couldn't read. I think this is because the game was designed for the PC and they haven't altered the game enough to make it completely Xbox friendly!

However, it is a game which if you give it half a chance does get pretty decent. If you get through the frustration of getting the hang of it and not comparing it to Oblivion. There are many missions to complete, many different 'socities' to work for (and against!) and build up a reputation within them. It is free-roaming so you can complete the main mission or just complete other quests. The map is quite large and there are vast lands to explore. There are also interesting and varied creatures, ranging from orcs to dragons.

At the beginning of the game creatures can be impossible - you will most likely die various times (which isn't a big deal in easy/medium mode as you just re-spawn). As you level up you will then find creatures become quite easy. In Oblivion creatures are kept at the same level as you, in Two Worlds they are not. Creatures which were seemingly impossible at the beginning will be simple after a few level-ups.

One criticism I've read quite a few times about this game is regarding the loading times. I didn't find this to be an issue personally. The loading times were great, especially compared to Oblivion! You can walk in and out of houses without loading times (although there isn't much to the houses!) and it rarely ever loaded whilst walking around the landscape.

The length of the game could have been better. The main mission is very short and I got through the game very quickly. But it will keep you busy for quite a few hours, and is a good length compared to most games.

I liked the weapon and spells system in the game, where if you get two of the same weapon/spell you can add them together to make a more powerful one. I also like the levelling up system as you can focus your energy and experience points into exactly what you want your fighter to be.

One criticism I have of the game is the character you play as. You are forced to be male and you have little choice about how you look. There are about three options for each facial feature, so whatever you do you're likely to look the same as everyone else who plays this game.

There is an online mode on this game, but I have not played this personally so cannot comment.

Overall I think this is a decent game as long as you don't expect it to be as great as Oblivion and you give it a chance. It has it's flaws, but after playing for a while you don't see these as such a big deal. It certainly had an addictive effect on me after a while!
