the reviews of this game bashed it enough that i thought ide never give this game a chance. ive been watching things about the up coming second game and thought it's shaping up to be one of the great rpg's (it could turn out to be a steaming pile, i dont't know). it's made me reconsider that i couldn t enjoy the next without checking out the origional catastrophe and understand the improvements and dynamics of the 2nd. plus it's a cheap buy, so minus well grab the collectors. my first impression as i started getting into it was "this really is a mess". the frame rate was pretty ruff, as were the graphics. the camera doesnt work 100% (it sometimes goes in its own direction... yea, not so awsome). you cant set the buttons to your preferences. because of this ive pretty much missed out on the customizing of my character part, and i dont care enough to start it over. the combat is a crude mess, the voice overs are almost painful, and riding that horse is kinda like steering a brick with a motor through water (if you can imagine that pain). their are other things i hated to but they're small and can be worked around. their really are a lot of flaws, but for some reason i kept with it. i began to notice the scale and depth this company was trying to explore with this title. i noticed the interactions they were trying to bring about with every character you encountered. they tried to give the player avenues to develop the main character in a CLASSIC rpg style (im in my 30's, and im all about the new classic), actually the whole game is CLASSIC rpg. if you can get past it being a ruff CURRENT gen game, then your in for a real rpg treat. probably the best i can compair the gaming experience to would be the orig. gothic PC game, with oblivion elements, and just filled to the hilt with old school D&D. tons of weapons, customizing, development, exploring, monsters, choices, everything you really want from a rpg experience. as far as the collectors edition specifically, i kinda gotta cut you short on this one because the guy i got the set from listed it as complete, but it arrived missing half the stuff. i really wanted the collectors because it was supposed to come with a book that had a "pen and paper" game. i thought this would have been a awsome bonus even if i never checked it out, you never see any video game companies doing stuff like that. unfortunately mine didnt have it so i cant say how that plays out, it didnt have the nice slip either. it did have the map (wich is actually useless for the game). the instructions are thick and well presented but you can get away just fine without using them. the bonus disc comes with a bunch of stuff that i'll probably never check out. to wrap this up. i have to say if your a fan of old school rpg's (i can definitely see how the lesser rpg hardened would hate this game) and can get past the ruff stuff it is a great gaming experience. if your on the fence about picking this one up ide have to say get this game, it is one of the over looked gems.Read full review
The game takes place in a real-time three-dimensional fantasy landscape. As such it has drawn comparison with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.[5] Much like in Oblivion and Gothic 3, the gameplay is non-linear. The player is free to explore the game world, accepting side quests at will. There is however, a core quest, centering around rescuing the protagonist's sister, who is being held for ransom by mysterious forces who are scheming to open the tomb of Aziraal, the god of war. The game does not utilize fixed character classes like other role playing games. As the character gains experience and levels, it is possible to invest gained Attribute Points into any attribute, leading to a variety of game play styles and approaches. The world the game takes place in is called Antaloor. While traveling through the game the player will encounter new teleports, caves, villages, and other locations, and these travels are recorded by the in-game mini-map. Teleports allow rapid travel between explored regions. Horses are available for the player to ride as well as other animals/creatures, though a number of commentators have lamented the clumsy controls when mounted. Death in the game leads to resurrection at a nearby shrine; these shrines are distributed across the game world, and also replenish health when the player comes in sufficient proximity. There are various creatures in Two Worlds. Unlike other CRPGs with wilderness areas, enemies will not respawn, although most areas are densely populated.[6] Beyond the main quest there is no set storyline to follow, the player is free to choose to complete the quests of his/her liking, and explore at will. The player may choose to act as a righteous hero and be honored amongst the population, or devilishly evil and feared, through reputation gained by completing certain quests. However, the path chosen will have consequences on the outcome of the game.Read full review
Did know it had a Tabletop RPG Game with it. Thanks for the special edition. I'll have to play thos with a friend on game night.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Bethesda stands by itself - nothing can touch what they turn out. BUT this is a dynamite and totally non-linear romp through a new world that has rewards for smarts and death for newbies or dumb decisions - lots of learning and growth here for the character. Lags and glitches are frequent, exercise a little patience and you WILL be rewarded. I'm on my second character with over 40 hours of gameplay and many to go, good practice for Oblivion and well worth the ebay purchase!
I played a demo on my Xbox360 and it's a great game. I prefer it over Oblivion because it has online multi-player and Oblivion does not. There are many armor combinations as well as weapons. The world is based on "free play" you can go just about anywhere and there are many side quests to the game. You can also create your own character. I dont know that much about it because i havent beatin it yet it's got pretty good graphics. I would have to rate it a 8.5 out of 10.0 it has a few downfalls. Such as it was made as a computer game, for example when you attack you can tell it's a little wierd and in some places the game freezes and has to load. Play this game on your Xbox360 non-stop will no douptly cuz problems with it. More high performance games run it faster and make it work harder thus making it hotter and burn out faster.Read full review
