Great visuals, sound and mechanics. Disappointing ending and story.

User Rating: 8 | The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings PC
The game looks great, in fact it looks amazing. The visuals are incredible, the mechanics are very good as far as battles go. The eye candy and ear candy is plentiful, the adult nature of the game is well placed, not just added for the sake of shock value. The characters and voice acting is believable and I quite liked the styling of the game as far as outfits and weapon design goes.

The major let down for me was the sloppy ending and half done story. I get the feeling with the latest games the development window is so small that no-one can release a complete game.

The effect of this is that you have the first half of the game amazing and then the story fizzles out and ends with haste.

The biggest let down in a game with so much potential is to have an ending that is not actually an ending, but rather a quick fix to get the product out in time.

I recommend playing the first half of the game, so to the middle of Chapter 2 and then stopping. Then you would be justified in giving the game a 9 out of 10.
