Outshines Oblivion!

Way back when i first saw the trailers for The Witcher i was worried that the fighting will be a click and point affair. Traditional RPG style but it proved to be nothing like it. In fact you don't have to be click crazy but rather time your mouse game interaction. A difficult system to learn but once understood its easy. Also use your magic along side your sword swinging to make it easier to defeat your enemies.

Also the camera options you have are very nice, comparing it to Oblivion i liked the first person view in Oblivion but it never worked well or convincingly for me. I kept it on low isometric view same as The Witcher.

The story is amazing and even though it is not a game that has good or evil according to the designers one cannot help but feel sometimes that it does have that good evil feel to it. No matter what decisions you make the story just evolves around them or so it seems.

I have not seen any bad graphic anomalies or any bad coding so far and that is to be amended. Granted i did install the first patch. Just installed patch no 2 and running fine. Graphically the game rocks hard and with a AMD dual Core and Geforce 7600GT it looks amazing. It does stutter a bit in certain areas in the cities and swamp.

This game definitely has my stamp of approval and should be bought without thinking about it. Please also make sure that you are old enough to play it because its definitely a mature only game.
