![]() ![]() The layout for the pad works perfectly fine, and should be no trouble for anyone to pick up. Moving from PC to Xbox 360 was easy in regards to controls since the PC version already has built in 360 pad support. It’s a game that needs to be played through twice to take in everything that it has to show you. There’s even one choice in the game that changes the outcome of a certain chapter, taking you on a whole different quest line and area of the map that you wouldn’t experience if you make the other choice. The Witcher 2 stays clear of alerting you to obvious choices, leaving you to interpret if you made the correct choice or not. It’s not just that the story is great and gripping, but the choices you pick over the course of the game aren’t as simple to breakdown as say Mass Effect, where that game simply throws good or bad options highlighted in your face so you can’t miss them. The greedy person inside of me wants more. It’s just a shame you only get to see four fleshed out areas of this nasty, but beautiful world. The world of The Witcher is so incredibly detailed that I loved every minute exploring what they put in front of me. You take part in a believable world where races hate each other because of what they’ve done commoners cuss and look… well, like dirty commoners. The journey that follows is about Geralt trying to clear his name, recover his memories and find the real Kingslayer to stop a plot that could disrupt the rulership of the kingdoms.Īs stories goes, The Witcher 2 is a world full of multifarious adult topics such as racism, politics, violence, sex, rape the list goes on, though this isn’t a cheap attempt to get some publicity. Hired as King Foltest’s bodyguard after a failed assassin attempt, Geralt is later found in a bad situation and is assumed to have killed the King he swore to protect. The Witcher 2 follows on from the end of the first game. His profession is a Witcher – people who have been genetically enhanced and mutated from a young age and trained to fight monsters and other unholy beasts. The plot of The Witcher 2 follows the legendary Geralt of Rivia. In a world that’s filled with DLC, day 1 or not, and on disc content that you have to pay to unlock, it’s amazing what these guys are doing. What’s even better is this – if you own the PC version already, you don’t have to feel left out as the company is giving you all the upgrades for free. There’s also a brand new opening cinematic, new cutscenes, new locations and quests, new characters and an extended ending. What does this mean? Well, the Xbox 360 version features additional content, over four hours of new gaming to be had to be exact. Now CD Projekt Red has brought this fantastic game to all the Xbox 360 owners in an Enhanced Edition version of The Witcher 2. ![]() It was an exceptional game all around and one of my favourite RPGs of all time. Having fantastic graphics, an amazing soundtrack and art direction that made elves and dwarfs feel unique in a fantasy setting – which is pretty darn hard to do nowadays – was just the cherry on the top. It also had better narrative, with a mature world that was much smaller than Skyrim, but felt more interesting and full of life due to its compact nature and fewer wastelands of emptiness. The Witcher 2, on the other hand, had much more engrossing combat that was challenging, improving over the original game in every way. ![]() Everyone seems to have given Skyrim the vote, but all that game did was give players vast areas to explore which were never truly that gripping. I personally felt that The Witcher 2 was robbed from winning the best RPG of 2011. It’s nearly a year since I bought a new PC to play The Witcher 2 on full settings. ![]()
