SouthPeak Games has released a 566MB demo of Oblivion wannabe Two Worlds, giving you a chance to explore "a huge portion" of the game's "expansive single-player map".
You'll get to tackle "numerous" quests and various monsties as you try and make your mind up about whether to buy it or not. You can also read our Two Worlds review for additional pointers.
Or, if you've already bought it, you might be interested in the PC and Xbox 360 patches being lined up to address "issues some players have experienced", including problems with "horse steering" among other things we've copied and pasted below.
