Two Worlds II - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

This game was a good distraction for me. Although not one of my top 5 or even top 10 games, can't complain about the number of hours of entertainment vs. cost.

Prior to purchasing this game I played (and replayed, because I loved it so much) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.KoA spoiled me but other RPGs just don't seem to hold a candle to it. That said, Two Worlds is worth playing, BUT.....- The graphics are definitely not up to the caliber of KoA and the playable world is very frustrating becausethere are several islands and on the PS3 screen getting to the other islands you had to take the zoom factor offBIGtime to 'shrink' everything down and even then you had to scroll like krazy just to SEE the other islands.And like a previous reviewer said, the sailing option was ridiculous because you can't really 'get there from here'.Instead you teleport everywhere (including to the other islands). That was cool but why include the sailing/boatwhen all you'll do is go in circles and get lost? (maybe that was the point).- Without a walkthru the game - especially at the beginning - can be very frustrating to understand. But once youget the hang of it it's OK, very playable....- I could NOT win this game. The final boss battle was so impossible I gave up (even on easy). OK, so I'm not themost patient of people, but after 30 or so tries I gave up! LOLBottom line: it's OK, and since there aren't a lot of good RPGs out there for the PS3 I still recommend it....but don't expect too much. If you like RPGs, character development, improving your weapons, etc. then this is agreat game for you (I personally love that aspect of games). It's not a straight.

It's the value that inflates the score a bit. Overall I'd probably give it more like 3 stars. It's a game that is really easy to sum up. I found it to basically be like a beta veersion of Skyrim. It's a huge open world rpg full of quests and people to interact with. It simply lacks the polish of a game like Skyrim. The graphics are a bit dodgy in places. You *will* run into some bugs here and there. The voice acting is spotty here and there. Etc...Basically like I said before - Skyrim beta.

Nice, a little bit long to finish but it is a good adventure.
