Product Description:
Welcome to a world that knows no mercy - none is received, and none is given. Only physical and mental agility can keep you alive, though they are by no means a guarantor of life. You play the role of Geralt - an already legendary monster-slayer, but this is not a gift and is certainly not given lightly.The Witcheris an immense computer game. Within its realm, you will have to assume the burden of choice. And this burden of choice, as light as it may appear, is the very thing that will both permit you to wield influence over the fate of the world, as well as get you slain prematurely.
Determine how Geralt's character develops and if he is to become a swordsman, an arcane battle mage, an alchemist in skirmishes, or any combination of the three 250 skills and abilitiesWhat you see is what you getsystem - in choosing a character skill, you either have it or you don't Character development is linked with storyline progression. Geralt comes to remember his forgotten past, and therefore his supernatural skills and abilities Numerous real-time combat strikes, hits, thrusts, slashes, and cuts plus the appropriate use of magic, potions and styles of swordplay The control system is for both experienced users and beginners. Use a combination of the mouse and keyboard, or just the mouse

- Awesome game!
Well as we all know, the original release had some bad translations which made the dialogue pretty tough to read at times.The Enhanced Edition does not completely fix it, but improves it by about 98%, so it's 99% the way there.
The dialogue and delivery now is at least up to par with where it should be, and actually quite a bit better than several other similar games out there.The characters now move their arms or eyes when they speak, which is good too.

Rating: - Great game
This game is well worth playing. The story line is great, the graphics are great.The character control isn't the best, but not worth complaining about.I recommend playing on the hard level.This makes the game more interesting because potion making becomes very important.I recommend using a controller, however, you have to download x-padder in order to use a controller.X-padder also works for any other games that are not controller ready.I also recommend reading The Last Wish, this is the ...

- Not that impressive...and Geralt freaks me out
In the Witcher, you play a monster hunter mutated freak named Geralt, who, for the record, is the farthest thing from sexy (He has white hair, weird eyes, and a giant scar) you can imagine. Keep that in mind as you read this review.
First, despite being "Enhanced" the game still had a major bug, at least for me. Even with updated video drivers and a fully patched game, I was unable to see all the dialog options. But never fear, choosing dialog options that can majorly impact the flow of ... Read More

- Could Have Been Much Better....
Based on reviews of this game that I read online in conjunction with the many awards it received I purchased the software.
I did not experience any bugs, the combat is first rate and the landscape/city graphics are very pleasing.However, I found there to be too much running around.The game is extremely linear and forces players to follow a set path without very much exploring.The setting primarily consists of a city and a swamp with varying degrees of access to parts of those areas based on ...

Rating: - Play the Witcher at the highest difficulty
this is a very good one-player rpg. i just want to point out that the medium difficulty setting is way too easy. you really can't lose a fight, and there's no reason to use magic. if you want to increase the difficulty, you have to start over from the beginning.
i ended up downloading a mod that makes combat harder rather than starting over. now the game is a challenge. i would recommend starting the game at the highest difficulty setting or doing what i did a lot sooner than i did.
