Temptation grows Two Worlds

By Robert Purchese Published 29 November, 2007

Expansion for next year.

Struggling role-playing game Two Worlds is getting an expansion in the first half of 2008.

Ironically dubbed The Temptation, it adds a host of fresh content to answer questions that cropped up from the first, like why it keeps calling itself a "smash RPG" on the official website. Have some dignity.

Those of you eager for new areas will be granted several never-trodden territories to explore, and a whole new means of transport to get you there.

And others worried the underlying mechanics will never change should be pleased that you will be able to actively block attacks in combat now, and computer-brained characters will display "much enhanced reactions" to you.

Two Worlds: The Temptation will be heading to PC and consoles; suggesting a PS3 offering is also in the pipeline.

Head over to our Two Worlds review to find out what needs to change, or pop into The Temptation gallery for the first shots.

    Think I'm the only fan. While not perfect by any means it's a decent first attempt at an rpg. And (this is coming from a massive ES fan) the world is so much more diverse and interesting than Oblivions and possibly morrowinds.

    Double post.

    Shouldn't they try to get the 360 framerate just a little higher up than 10-15 fps before they start talking about expansions? :)

    People complaining about framerate issues in Mass Effect (and there certainly are some) should give Two Worlds a try. Even with the latest patch it's horrible - which is a shame really, because if the abysmal framerate didn't give me a splitting headache, I actually think there might have been a somewhat decent RPG in there (well, if you can manage to tune out the voice "acting" as well anyway :)).

    I don't think I'll be "tempted" by this expansion. While the game itself was OK (on the 360), the numerous technical issues really did let this game down in a serious way - the framerate was dreadful, even post-patch - and I very much doubt this expansion will fix them.

    To the EG staff: try to sit down, play the game, get over the technical issues and see that it is a good game. Maybe you will stop having some lame bashing in every TW related article. Thanks.

    Btw. which game does not advertise itself as a "smash hit"?

  • Darren #6 4 years ago

    Well Two World's is clearly a 'smashed' (as in broken) hit so they only missed off the 'ed'. LOL

  • JediMasterMalik #7 4 years ago

    This expansion seems terribly in conceived at best.

  • Agent_Llama #8 4 years ago

    I like Two Worlds a lot. It has a lot more charm and personality than Oblivion for starters. As LonesomeRoad correctly points out, the world is far more diverse. It's a pleasure to explore it. I too am bored of the EG Two Worlds bashing. Sure, technically it's clunky and needs some serious work, but at its heart is a very charming game with a lot going for it.

    Jedi: Ill-conceived.

    Have to agree with some of comments here, TW is a good ( very good ) game struggling to be seen through an admittedly poor frame rate.

    Have played through it three times now ( since it's original PC release in Germany earlier this year,twice) and once on Xbox360. It really does try to do things that other RPGs don't, and that's to offer a more reactive and dynamic world.

    Don't get me wrong, the framerate on 360 is poor, but look beyond that and you have a ( cliched comment coming up ) Flawed Classic .

    Regards the criticisms of the voice acting, again, I think many people missed the point, it is supposed to be wry and ironic much of the time , hence the ham acting, just listen to the comments or funny noises the hero makes when he ressurects from a death , definitely written for laughs.

    As so often is the case, EG reviewers got it wrong, and EG fan boys ( EDGE readers the lot of you, and yes, thats an insult ) got it wrong.

    I for one look forward to the mission pack for TW.

    I'll cast my lot with the majority of the comments thread here.

    I don't usually comment... but seing EG unnecessarily thrash the game ("Have some dignity";) got me a little riled up =)
