Does everyone still talk in that hilariously jilted old english? Also, does the game run more smoothly then the first? I'm not usually too much of a stickler for fog (hell, I played Turok for N64), but Two Worlds 1 would stop for 3-15 seconds at a time randomly when something would come in.

Seems like a western version of White Knight Chronicles... I'll snag it in due time, but for me this is definitely not a day 1 purchase.

single player runs pretty smoothly, though some of the towns when there's a lot of people it chugs. co-op is a mixed bag, it seems to depend on network connection. I played one co-op match with 3 other summoners - the screen was filled with spiders, orcs, skeletons, etc that they summoned - needless to say it chugged.

overall I was pretty impressed with the performance on the 360.

The voice acting is ok - nothing great, nothing bad. There's a bunch of strange accents though, not just old english.

Great review! I haven't gotten around to the co-op yet, but I'm glad I know how it rolls now. It is disheartening to hear that some of the co-op missions take two hours!

I have to agree that the game is hard, and I died quite a bit. You're not kidding with those two-minute battles just to kill one skeleton. I'm finding the game frustrating yet addicting. It's definitely worth the rental, but I don't think I'll be keeping it.

I´ve been playing Tw2 co-op and I am having a blast. I am on chapter V now playing with other 2 people. I am a summoner and other player too. I summon 4 monsters and he summons 7. I didnt see any slowdown yet. It really has to do with the connection. I am pretty impressed with the performance too. WOW! THat is a huge leap from TW1. This game can even influence other games now. No kidding. Co-op campaign have 4 problems: no save, similar scenarios, you cant join in the middle of the game, you have to return to the lobby to get to the next mission.

i wish you'd comment more rafoca, just so i can keep seeing your sloth avatar ^_^

ahem. anyway.

My only issue in co-op is that i rarely follow the missions, I just like exploring

So there's roughly only 10 hours of coop gameplay? Is there much potential for replayability? My friend and I use to play WoW together but due to time constraints we stopped. We're looking for an RPG we can sink hours into together but at our own pace.

I bought this game and loved the single player part of it but the online could be fun if the connection issue was not such a big problem. If the server crashes and you did not log out and back in before that crash (Even if you played for 8 hours) it loses all the information and its back to square one that you logged in at. Also the online 98% of the people do not speak english and are not much help to those who do....I found the people to be rude as can be to anyone who does speak english and no real basis for game play in a multiple person realm then. So stick with the single player and you will love it. Play the multiple player and you will hate it. The exp is much higher with a full team but getting one together is harder then you should think.Single play on it is slow and takes forever to lvl.(Also no level cap as far as I saw.Levels over 250 )
