I personally played the game The Witcher AND I LIKED IT... yes i liked it. It may not be the most interesting game because you have to do small boring quests and the side-quests are not very interesting, but the plot(main) quest is juicy. The graphics is fine for the time but not the best, graphicly the game is very realistic. The Realism applies when u set all graphs to the MAX. Houses, grass, weapons, books, plants are realistic but not the characters and people in game. The engine of the game was new at the time and very much a prototype but they pulled it up and for the engine part of the game its fantastic. It doesn't require a great deal of system requirements but if you put the graphs to the max you will need a solid graphic card. The in game content is plenty there are only 5 signs(spells) but they are alright, there are also many skills and abilities. The signs have many upgrades. There are 4 major attributes: Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Stamina Ahhh yes the notorious combat system it is quite lame since you have to click the enemy to the attack and you dont use the mouse to control the character. When you see a flaming sword you click and Geralt attacks. There are many upgrades for the melee fighting. You have steel and a silver sword and for both you have fast, strong, and group style.
All in all the game is a solid 9.5 from 1-10 The review is based on my personal experience.

Bad points : - The load times are pretty excessive, but that only gets annoying if you have to hop into and out off a lot of houses. The game just drops everything outside from memory when you go inside. I just read a ... Read Full Review
