Does anyone know what the reviews were like in mainland europe?

@MrAlex

so far theyve been great. Mostly 8 and 9 out of 10s

@MrAlex

Check out metacritic. PC - 78, 360 - 77, and PS3 - 80.

Sounds pretty good to me.

@Mayor West

Did you read those reviews? I smell something.

Hopefully this'll be better than the first one, but not THAT much better, so it's still Two Worlds. Either way, I can't wait to try it!

I'll be surprised if this doesn't suck and has only a small amount of bugs and glitches.

@MSKilla aka Sony4Life

Then prepare to be surprised

@Billlop

I want it to be good, just like the first one, but look how that turned out.
Gamefly it is, before I pay full price.
Can't blame me for being weary, though.

Had the misfortune of playing this game early. Buyers beware. Sure it /looks/ better but...

@Anticrawl

It is better. Its generally considered an amazing ARPG as well. Sorry if you didnt like it, but most people who played it not only liked it, they loved it.

@Billlop

I'm not sure what game they were playing - because it wasn't Two Worlds 2. There were very few redeeming qualities. There aren't many spells, archery is laughable. Melee combat is the only thing in the game that is passable at this point. The voice acting is bad enough that you'll need to play the game on Mute with Subtitles on (the subtitles don't follow the spoken words verbatim either). I'd rather not talk about it any further, left a bad taste in my mouth.

@Anticrawl

What? There arnt many spells? seriously!? Now im convinced you havnt even played TW2. The game has a spell crafting system. You create your own goddamn spells. Want a death bolt that turns your foes into zombies? go ahead! Want a ice shower than rains ice down? go nuts! How in the HELL can you say theres not many spells!?

@Billlop

Half-hearted comment as I'm at work right now and going on several days without sleep. I meant to say that I've tried as I didn't have a chance to roll a user. We played around with an EU copy earlier this week. I just didn't like the way the hero controlled, the VA was performed, the transparent inventory, or how terrible the mounts felt. We didn't apply the "gold" patch before we played though.

@Billlop

Gotta agree. If you love games like the old Gothic titles, Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, Drakensang, Risen, and other games of the European RPG variety, Two Worlds II will amaze you in many ways. This game is not bad, it's great. The original game was beyond awful, but no, not this one. Two Worlds II is a great experience.

@KungFuChaosNinja

Yeah, ill be the first the say how horrible the first one was. Trying to be an oblivion clone and failing badly. However, TW2 is a really amazing RPG. Just give it a chance and youll see how good it is.

@Billlop

> Want a death bolt that turns your foes into zombies? go ahead! Want a ice shower than rains ice down? go nuts! How in the HELL can you say >theres not many spells!?

This feature alone has now sold it to me. After playing Two Worlds (which was one of the most hilarious gaming experiences I've had) I was ready to be underwhelmed.

Needless to say, I will be very happy to pick this up come January 25th.

PREPARE TO BE ZOMBIFIED, HEATHEN SCUM.

How did they not call this game "2 Worlds 2 Furious"?

Inexcusable...

@mcnerven

If Paul Walker will be mauled by one of those creatures in the pic, I'll have a happier existence.

Played it on PC for a few hours and it was great. Looking forward to it. Most improved sequel ever.

@sdhjkyukl

Get the Frak off of my Stiq, Dick!

I saw this today for sale in Chips (A series of gaming stores in the NE of England) for £35. I was going to buy it but I remembered that I needed to complete Oblivion for the millionth time.

@saturn118
This game doesn't come out in England until Feb.4th?!?!
