Two Worlds II - Review @ CVG
 

CVG has reprinted a Two Worlds II review from Xbox 360 World - and boy, is it a shocker (4.8/10):
"Shatto"?
More information.

I do believe I saw this coming after the ign review. Except many hate filled forum rants on there website. On a parting note why is there still no news from the developers or publishers on the NA pc retail cancellation?

as expected, europeans like the game, american retards are bashing it

"Shatto" ?

Is this an amalgam of "shitty" and "shallow" ?

Here let me fix the statement it should be as expected Europeans like the game American journalist retards are bashing it. Many like the game in the US and I stated before its an average game that improved on the first. Divinity 2 is still better.

Xbox 360 World? Who has ever heard of that site? Looking it up, it's run by NPK entertainment, which has a total of two! websites. Their review is about as valid as porky's rebuttal. Read Desslock's review and get a feeling for how an old-time American gaming journalist really feels about Two Worlds II. Here's the direct link, though I know I saw a news post about it too:

Both TwoWorlds 1,2 were good games, much better than Oblivion. The US review sites mention nothing about the complex magic system. What do American gamers expect ?

Wow, what an intelligent and insightful post…

I've been searching this whole time for an explanation of the word Shatto, but I just can't find it. It's not even in the urban dictionary. The only possible explanation for the use of the word are:

1) The reviewer wanted to dominate us with his supreme knowledge of the English Language
2) The reviewer wanted to show us his extremely lacking knowledge of the English Language
3) The reviewer used a neologism used by 12-year-olds
4) The reviewer went berserk and the editors were unable to correct that part of the article
5) It's the worst misspelling of the word "shitty" ever

We don't need this here. If you want to post crap like this head on over to Bethesda's official forums.

And not only does the author not like the game, [/sarcasm font on]but if YOU like it you clearly must enjoy sucky content[/sarcasm font off]. Professional.

6) The writer is expressing a juvenile joy that is found in being as unprofessional and casual oriented as possible, just to annoy would-be high brow critics?
7) The writer is merely adapting phrases to suit his immediate audience?
8) With headings like 'jerkin off and bird brain', the author wanted to candidly illustrate just where he/she was coming from in a nutshell.

We could go on. ;) It does read like a very ordinary review however.

Hilerious !!! :D

I'm for number 5 !!! :)

Just thought I'd point out that CVG - and the reviews they reprint - are from the UK. ;)

Dear God, did this review come from a print edition? I sincerely hope not.

Hey dudes Oblivion is like the best RPG ever amirite?

Ebony and Glass is the new Daedric.
:P

Shonkily executed?

This review is wack.

Oblivion was better then two worlds 1. Two worlds 2, it is better then the first although it doesn't perform that well and it has some very rough edges.

Only 'problem' of the Two Worlds 2 is it does not have a 'Elder Scrolls' title before its name. :) If it was a Bethesda title I'm sure American reviewers would toss their high points and praises abundantly and probably declare it as game of the year or millenium or ages bla bla.

Honestly I don't understand most of these American gamers and reviewers. They have slamed some decent European RPGs in the past (Gothic, Drakensang, Divinity series comes to my mind) and now they're doing it again for Two Worlds 2. So I'm not surprised anymore. They have some biases towards these games that I can't understand. Nationalism in computer games or something?
