The game is great, truly great, but as of the time writing this review the game is still riddled with bugs which are game breaking to some, not so much to others. Franchise mode is sluggish, and requires internet, but it's fun when it works. An option to this is challenge mode which is fully offline and exactly the same otherwise - great option. - I will update this review once the game gets a few more updates.

Great game, needs some optimization tweaks though.

Two Worlds II is your typical fantasy adventure/RPG game with loads of enemies, challenges, things to do, average story-telling & plot, mediocre graphics and a very grindy multiplayer. However.. Even though this game has got some flaws it does deliver on some areas which makes it all worth the while.

As far as the single-player story goes it's nothing special, really. It's very generic and the character you play as is very easy to forget about (lacking background-story, no real connection). None of the main characters really stand out. Instead, those who you talk to once in a while are those with the most memorable dialog and unique sense of humour - which is a neat change of pace.

When you venture out in the singleplayer world it's easy to let go of what you were doing and just hunt for enemies only to use your skills, no matter what you specialize in at the time whether it be magic, archery, melee combat or all three. They are all equally as fun to play, even though the magic-system in this game is by far the most worked on.

You conjure your own spells by using cards which you can combine in almost any way you can think of. You can create spells which summon creatures to fight for you, spells which summon tornados which in turn summons heavy steel anvils - at the same time as it's spinning around throwing the anvils all around the place. Or if you're more into projectiles you can create spells which shoot out several projectiles that are either homing or simply bounces through target to target hitting multiple enemies with only one projectile. OR; combine it all - projectile -> anvile summoning -> Tornado. Great fun!

However, this game is not only about singleplayer, even though it's great fun. You can also join your friends on Multiplayer where the game turns into somewhat of a grind-fest and all you do - basically - is repeat mission in order to gain levels and increase the strength of your character. Yes, it's tedious.. But with the right people the multiplayer turns into a very much appreciated hang-out. You have several game-modes ranging from the typical story-mission style to sruvival and even town-management. Yes, you can build your bery own town/village and you have to manage it in order to keep your villagers happy. And you friends can join you in your village, to either help you out when you need to defend it or to see how you manage your village compared to theirs.

There's also PvP in this game, but my experience with the PvP has been very bad which in the long run made me ignore it completely, so I'm not gonna comment on it.


All in all it's a great game. The graphics are very dated since the game is old, but even though it looks "bad" it still delivers on key points; massive world(s), great environment, huge variety of enemies, great skill-set and system, basic crafting and upgrading system and more. It's a great game when you want to kill time or play something quick and easy with your friends.

I've enjoyed every minute put into this game, and I believe some of you will as well. Not everyone - but some!

Love it! Been playing it for a couple of hours now and even though it's ported from console they've made many improvements on the keyboard-controls from the first game. The first game was broken as far as keyboard and mouse goes, but this game feels smooth and the combat is even better now than in the first game as well - even when using the mouse.

Also, what this game has, which the first one was lacking, is a challenge - in everything. Combat is tough, you NEED to think in order to actually succeed at times. The dungeons are really fun, especially with all the puzzles and Zelda-esc feel to them. Another thing they added here, which I'm really happy they did, is loot. some enemies drop loot and alot of it too. You find chests scattered around the world and they contain loot as well. It's really neat!

GET THIS GAME NOW!

Have you tried Prototype? You were badass, right? Smashing cars, throwing people, kicking ass. Well, this game is pretty much the same thing except for one very important point; here, you're god-like.

You play as War, a so called horseman, who is supposed to maintain balence in the world by keeping all the three pillars at bay; Mankind, Heaven and Hell. But you fail at first, then you lose all your powers and you have to work your way from the bottom up.

Personally I love this game. Not only do you get to upgrade your awesomness to even greater awesomness but you get to show it off too by killing tons and tons of enemies, huge ones too, bosses and much more. Every skill you get makes you feel even bigger and more badass as you go along the story. Great game!

An extremely fun, not so serious and very satisfying GTA-style sandbox game. It's pretty much the same deal as any GTA game, without the serious aspects, serious mechanics, serious vehicles, serious anything. This is like a huge parody on GTA games. I must say though, if you want a serious saints row game, buy Saints Row 2. this one is for those who don't mind killing people with dildos or using rocket-squids to control other people and then blow em up with confetti while also shooting other random people from a canon on top of your very epic car.. With a vacuum on the front. Yeah..

Flawless gameplay, really smooth, love the sound and "odour" mechanics where every move you make can be heard and your pressence detected by sniffing dogs. You've got to be very sneaky to pass this challenge!

One of my favorite games of all time. This game has such a huge story to it, plenty of detail, so much you can do, people react to your actions, you as a person can be either a devil or an angel depending on the actions you take.

Throughout the game your get the to choose to either do or don't. Both options have consequences and you as the character will face them. Even though they can be limited at times, there's almost always more than one way to do things, for example; one of the side-quests is an escort-mission where you as the Hero will escort a trader from point A to point B. When the quest starts he will pay you some before you take him with you, and the rest when you reach your destination. After you recieve the gold at the start it's up to you how you want the quest to end; do you want to kill him, since you got some cash anyway? Help him reach his goal? Let the bandits kill him? Sacrifice him at the temple of Skorm? Ignore his request, take the money and run? - it's up to you.

It's a huge game and I love it very much, and I believe every RPG-lover love it as well. Fable is well worth it and the only thing you might miss in it is an update to the graphics (even though you don't need that, cause' it's awesome anyway)!

[Speaking of upgrade to the graphics: Linonhead Studios are working on a Fable: Anniversary-game which is Fable: The Lost Chapters but with improved everything! New engine, graphics overhaul, better sound-quality etc.]

If you are a sneaky kind of person who loves to drag people out in the shadows twisting their necks, shooting them in the head, punching them in face, throw them into objects or just slam door into their bodies then this game is for you!

The possibilities of what you can do as a player either in the SP campain or during deniable ops mission are endless.

Or, if you're a Splinter Cell fan then I don't think this game has slipped your mind at all. Buy it, enjoy it, like it and of course.. Don't try any of the things you see at home.
