The best way to describe Two Worlds is in the inevitable comparisons it's fetching with Oblivion. While not reaching the lofty heights of last year's RPG extravaganza, Two Worlds (on the PC) is a decent addition to the entry class RPG genre, but those looking for next level innovation will spend a...

Being a fan of the original Marvel vs. Capcom (MVC) for the Sega Dreamcast and arcade consoles, I was looking forward to this game since the announcement of its release. The added bonus of Capcom characters from Resident Evil and Ghosts N' Goblins was a great surprise.

Well kids, the past month hasn't brought much. It's kind of weird, since this is usually the time for our traditional E3 coverage, when we are knee-deep in game media. We've been waiting patiently for something to turn up and I must say, this one arrived sooner than expected.

Plenty of content may keep you occupied for a while; once you get the hang of it the combat can be fun; nice character models

Feeble story; repetitive; technical errors; there's nothing to entangle players beyond the standard hack'n'slash routine and free-roam gameplay

A poor man's Oblivion. This description may seem a bit damning, but it puts the game in awfully fine company when you consider the sheer greatness of Bethesda's role-playing game opus.

Huge scope and setting; Smooth; simple RPG system that still allows for a lot of character customization; Great variety of quests; Nice-looking visuals

Too sparse in monsters and fine details to fill up such a big gameworld; Default difficulty setting is way too hard

You can finish the fight. It is finally here. What? You don't know what I am babbling about? Master Chief, big guy in green armor? Not ringing a bell. If you haven't heard of the Master Chief or the Microsoft juggernaut game franchise Halo then you have probably just crawled out from under a rock.

Seems like a good game, but I can't use keyboard combined with mouse to play. By the time I get into position to fight, I am killed before I can click the mouse button.

The story (taken from the official website) : The world changed when Aziraal, the god of war, was slain in the huge battle long ago. The hordes of Orcs lost their divine leader and were forced to withdraw to the southern wastelands.

Flexible character development and vast exploration area

Mounted ride control is horrible

Warning: The game has a "location" protection scheme. This means the UK version is playable only if your Windows Locale settings match the UK (including time zone!). So much for the global market place. However: I still like this game. Very nice looking.

A little basic in the genre for the graphic, but still a very good story line with a lot of side problems to solve...

Whilst not groundbreaking, Two Worlds offers some decent fantasy gaming. It's just a shame for the game that there's others out there that do the 'open world' RPG thing better.
