How many of you all have played TW2? How does it compare to Oblivion? Is it worth playing until Skyrim comes out, or is it so poorly done that I should continue to live in Cyrodiil until Skyrim?

Thanks to anyone who sheds a bit of light on this game.

I thought the same thing. I bought TW2 to hold me over until Skyrim and it didnt work out. Two worlds 2 svcks. i hated it. if i were you i would stick to oblivion... but it is really up to you

I could not stand TW2. Oblivion is much better in a lot of different ways but its personal preference when it comes down to it.

I liked TW2, but not nearly as much as when I started playing Oblivion. I wouldn't get it personally, very few people seem to enjoy it.

I played it for a bit, wasn't to my liking. I could see how some people might find it okay, but in all honestly it's clearly a worse game compared to Oblivion in every way and it just stuck out too much as a 3rd person Oblivion "clone". It almost has a hint of Red Dead Redemption with the way the horses play in, and then it has quirky, buggy, sub par combat and silly storylines with odd voice acting. In some regards it isn't meant to be serious, but overall it still comes out playing very subpar. If you can find it cheap enough (<$10) it might be worth a laugh and it'll give you something to do, but it really isn't that great (even the weird "hype" that it isn't as bad as the first didn't help much).

I bought it and played about 20 hours and I'm on the last chapter I think. It's buggy as hell for the 360 because there is absolutely no console support whatsoever. I may beat it, I may not. It all depends on if they release a bloody patch.

It's okay. Scenery's very pretty, quests are reasonably numerous, MQ has some interesting twists; but it's lacking something and is ultimately slightly dull. I'd say Oblivion is the better game without any hesitation: there's more of it, it's more immersive and you can lose yourself in it, whereas TW2 is something I could never quite get into. Perhaps it's worth comparing it with the original Two Worlds where it also doesn't fare so well: TW had some very well publicised faults such as the infamous voice acting (though I tend to think it was firmly in "so bad it's good" territory!) and slightly incoherent MQ, but those features often distract attention from the fact that actually it was a rather good game: it felt really big where TW2 doesn't, had some really pretty innovative features and lots of cool stuff to capture the imagination. I think they spent so much time trying to polish the rough edges of TW that they forgot to make TW2 all that memorable.

It's not a terrible game and it's worth a spin if you've nothing else to do, but it lacks anything that will give it lasting appeal. Shame, really, as I think they did try, they just missed the target somehow.

One thing that made it easier to play is using a mod to change the protagonist: although in theory you can change his appearance, it doesn't make a lot of difference and I found his dialogue to be quite tedious; the mod allows you to play as other races and/or a female character, and in the case of the latter there's no voiced dialogue so you just turn it off instead (if you don't, it's a bit surreal!) which I was sceptical about initially but it actually made the game rather less tiresome!
