Was it a very good RPG with nice stylised violence, characterisation and story? Absolutely Yes. Was it a tad too linear? Yes..unfortunately. It's easy to correct this ..I don't know why gaming companies don't address this problem and make a really good RPG a much better one. Was there a problem with too many NPC's looking like the rest? Yes, Can you say Clone Wars? Was there plenty of carnage and mayhem to go around? yes...oh yes! If I love sword-play will I like this game? yes...it's great. only bad part...the combo's are a bit of a pain to 'hit' right. But you'll still enjoy it. Will it play on my computer? I have an average duel core duo 2.13 with 2 gigs of RAM. Ran fine on mine with no crashes so far. it is pretty smooth animation wise. Did it provide plenty of gaming fun and hours of enjoyment. Absolutely. Like more than 100 hours I am sure. Could the monsters have been done better? Yes...they lacked some artistic value...sadly enough. Especially the undead and ghoulies. I liked Geralt and loved the way they payed attention to the "Nuetral" theme in life. One of the best quotes I still remember was by one of his dwarf friends that said "The worst evil is moral relativity". Great stuff..go dwarves. You won't regret buying this game. Unfortunately...I don't think it has a terribly high replay value though. So wait till it comes down in price..like under 15-20 bucks.Read full review
The controls are not very intuitive at first, nor is the alchemy. Once you get a handle on the controls it is a good game. The graphics and attention to detail are very nice. My one complaint is that the inventory of the character is too small. You can't carry multiple swords off of dead enemies. Your inventory fills up very quickly. Also the equipment doesn't have a lot of variety or choice or customization. You are basically stuck with the same sword wielding leather armor wearing character no matter what. The plot isn't always clear what's going on, despite the best efforts to translate from Polish, it is still occassionally unclear. Still it is a good RPG when those are growing more and more scarce. 4 of 5.
The Witcher Enhanced Edition has fixed every single problem I had with the original release. It never crashes, loads hundreds of times faster, looks better, and has been changed for the better. The extras that come with it are really nice considering the fact that the price has not changed. The story is great, if a little bit on the long side. Combat is nice and fluid, with a deep buffing system that encourages you to utilize alchemy, food, drink, magic, and upgrade items to win fights. The game still looks really good, despite being release in 2007. The only thing that really shows age are the facial animations, which are pretty bad compared to the quality of everything else. Fans of games with deep lore will love the huge amount of backstory you get in the game (and in the excerpts from the Witcher stories that the game comes with). I wouldn't pass this up.Read full review
the witcher is a superb polish rpg set in the setting of a series of books by some guy whose name i cant pronounce. The plot is great, graphics are amazing (breath taking scenery, character are well developed, and everything feels just right in the combat system. awesome game, good lore, epic monster, uber protagonist ^_^ . I am officially a fan of CDprojekt solely because of this game
One of the best games ever. I do not like console games and mindless shooters. I like high quality fps, and my favorites are detailed RPG games. I thought Fallout 3 was great, and this tops it by margins. With the latest patch, you can have the 18+ version of the game, not the US "mature" version. It is better and more realistic. This game has great graphics, very detailed and immerisive story. It does require that you have a good pc. So if you are still running a 4600gs, stick with an old game that you should expect to play. I have a 285GTX with a 3.1 ghz dual core and fast drives, it plays great with no frame loss at 1900x1200, everything maxed out.
