![]() As the game opens, you escape with the help of a band of Orcs, and are quickly let loose into the new world. This time the evil Emperor Gandohar has you prisoner, involved in some form of magical ritual alongside your captive sister. Set in a totally different area of Antaloor, Two Worlds II doesn’t feature the same hero as before, but a whole new warrior. If the devs are to be believed, this is the game we wanted the original to be, and I’m happy to say that, in many ways, this is true. Two Worlds II, on the other hand, promises a far more refined adventure, and one that rights the wrongs of the first game, whilst adding a whole new raft of features. Sadly, the aforementioned list of problems (and that’s just a tiny fraction of them) stopped the game from being as good as it could have been, and it was a very rough gem that most would throw back in favour of a more polished and shiny offering. In essence, it was a very old school, loot-driven RPG, and one that I spent a long time with. ![]() It was a title that featured a huge and varied open world to explore, a crapton of quests alongside the main story, and a myriad of items that could be looted, crafted and combined till the cows came home. Underneath almost every technical faux pas you can imagine, such as awful controls, terrible voice acting, clumsy interface and a game engine that made the 360 groan as if it was running a game from 2055, was an oddly enticing title. The original Two Worlds was, for want of a better analogy, a car wreck of a game, but, like real life accidents, there was something in there that made you want to take a closer look, even though you know you really shouldn’t. After such a calamitous release, is Reality Pump’s second take on Two Worlds worth the wait? After a series of mind boggling delays stopping it arriving officially in the UK (the game has been available since November elsewhere in Europe), Two Worlds II has finally made its way into the hands of fans here in good old Blighty, albeit exclusively from online retailer, Amazon.
