Ah, there is a commenting function for reviews I have not been aware of.
UK_John: Did you play this originally on PC or console? Huge difference between the two.
I played it on 360, so yes, I'm sure there is some difference. The graphics on 360 were atrocious, to say the least. The graphics on PC, judging by the screenshots on GOG, seem to be at least acceptable, but my review was relating to my experience with the game, which did not feature good graphics in any sense of the word.
Aside from the graphics, the gameplay was clunky and ugly, the characters were bland, the dialog was just horrible, and it was just overall an unplayable (or not worth playing, take your pick) mess.
Why did you buy the game if you feel that way about it ?
I didn't buy it on GOG. I got it off eBay for $15 because I thought I would give it a shot. I mean, I'm a fan of Too Human for God's sake :-P The least I can do is give a game a chance and see if it has any redeeming qualities at all. Sadly, for Two Worlds, this was not the case.
also found the script to be very deliberately written and acted to sound cheesy.
While I'm obviously no expert on the development of Two Worlds, I doubt the developers intentionally created a parody of standard Fantasy RPGs when the rest of the world they created is evidently not done tongue-in-cheek.
If you Like Gothic and Risen, you'll like this.
I enjoyed what I played of Gothic, but I guess it's just too old for me to really get into now. I have the same problem with the Might & Magic games, even thouigh I played the hell out of them when I was younger.
Did you play it before or after it was patched?
I played the 360 version on the latest patch as of February 2009 (as I recall).
Do you even like RPG's at all?
Indeed I do. They are probably my favorite genre.
EDIT:
Forgive the weird post formatting I have going on here. Seems GOG's quotation system is different than other forums'.
