Great Game
I have never played a rpg game like World of Warcraft, Oblivion and all those, so keep in mind i have nothing to base this off.
So for a first timer, i think this game has a lot to offer and is very intriguing. I have been playing pc and console games for many many years and only a couple have really grabbed my attention and actually had me thinking about them and waiting to get back to my PC.
I feel this game is great for a newb to get introduced to rpg games and overall is a great game, especially for the price.

WORTH LOOKING AT
As people are always comparing this with oblivion and say oblivion is way better, I'd give them a break considering southpeak is a smaller European gaming company and they are not exactly set in the mainstream of the American Video Game Market.
I'd say this game is a mix between Oblivion and Dungeon Siege, with the innerworld freedom and graphical luster of Oblivion and an item and menu arrange the mimics Dungeon Siege.
The only negative things I can say about this game is that it takes some time to adjust to, it throws you into this new world without any initial introduction to familarize you with it. Same with the controls, it takes some time to get used to them or adjust them to your own liking.
Besides that, it has great RPG gameplay, is fairly addicting like an RPG should be, and unlike Oblivion, it has MULTIPLAYER!

Two Worlds
Ok, I have read some of the horrible reviews for this game. One even said that Southpeak should be sued. How ridiculous. Of course people are comparing it to Oblivion. There is no comparison because they are not the same game.
Ok, here goes:
Character Creation: Not so good. There aren't enough choices, only one sex(so females won't be interested), and the tweaks don't seem to make much of a difference.
Graphics: Pretty damned good, although the NPCs are pretty cheesy. The terrain is awesome. The weather effects are nice, too.
Sound: Pretty good, but the acting is kind of lame. There is a bit too much Olde English chatter, like, "Well met, Aye.", and "prithee" and all that stuff.
Quests: Not too bad, they are pretty easy, and quick. You can get a lot done in a short amount of time.
Combat: I love the combat system. it's easy, fast, reactive, and just plain fun. You have games like WoW that you have to press "buttons" on the screen to do stuff, whereas here you just mouse your opponents to death. It has a more realistic feel, like you are really killing things, rather than the game taking care of the killing. Left click for melee and right click for magic. Nice, very nice.
The story: The story is pretty good, though way too short, and the ending is TERRIBLY simplistic. There are two outcomes. The ending cut scenes are cheesy, and short. I would say that the ending is quite a disappointment. I have noticed that with many games, of late. Final Fantasy usually had good endings. You would think that other game companies would take lessons.
The World: The world is HUGE. I finished the game and didn't even see an 8th of it. I saved just before the end, and now I am traveling the whole map. I like the fact that you can kill whole villages, and not get in too much trouble from the local cops. Oblivion always has one recurring cop. It pisses me off.
Weapons and Armor: There are tons of different weapons to use. I love the fact that the weapons and armor are stackable. If you find a good strong sword you can make it more and more powerful by stacking the same sword over it every time you find another one. You can get create REALLY powerful stuff by killing off towns and looting everything in site. It's fun. You finish whatever quests need finishing, then kill everyone!!
All in all it is a fun game, especially if you like to run around killing things. I can't wait for Two Worlds 2 to hit the stores.
BTW, I happen to be very picky about my games, so for me to enjoy this one means a lot.

Glad I waited for price to come down.
After playing the demo I was eagerly anticipating this game due to the innovative stacking weapon system, the large range of skills, weapons, and items, and the free open-ended character development. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the potential I expected. Perhaps I'm getting too old to be playing video games (37) as there seems to be a distinct decline in games' story quality over the last several years. The focus of the gaming industry now appears to be on great graphics at the expense of everything else. Two Worlds is no exception. The map is fairly large and the graphics immersive, but the main quest storyline in particular is really weak. I finished the game in under a week at the most difficult setting despite making a concerted effort to not progress the main quest too fast. To get any significant play time out of this game ALL of the side quests must be pursued. Overall the game was very stable (one crash) and yet a tad rough around the edges; my mount tended to get stuck and the audio volume varied. All things considered I enjoyed it, but I'm left wanting.
10/11/08 Update: Southpeak technical support is non-existent. Despite buying the game here on Amazon as "new" and receiving a sealed gamebox, when I attempted to setup a multiplayer account I received an error indicating my serial number was already attached to another account. Repeated attempts to contact Southpeak and Topware technical support have gone unanswered.
