The Witcher 2 Review - Gamereactor UK

GR-UK: "It's a game with some huge ambitions, and CD Projekt RED has managed to pull them all off. This is roleplaying games at their finest."

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

...new favorite developer.

[Substance101]

CD Projekt have a strong GOTY contender on their hands. This is awesome for a small company such as them.

console gamers disagree with u?

I just submitted a new 9.5 score review!

[RedSky]

Okay roll call guys, if you're a console gamer who's disappointed they can't play this, why don't you go ahead and hit that big disagree option on the bottom there.

[Si-Fly]

Installing now ... can't wait!!

[reznik_zerosum]

WHAT,GOD DAMN U LUCKY

[otacon68]

Haha me too! :D

[vandal GAB]

Why did I buy this game on steam, still have 7hrs to wait till I can start downloading lol.

[Substance101]

Well i bought it on Steam too, cant download it yet. I just like all my games to be at Steam due to ease of use in the future.

[Si-Fly]

Lol, I looked at the unlock time yesterday and thought there's no way I'm spending my day off waiting for it to unlock at 5pm! Normally I'd use steam. Just finished installing, smoking a pre-game cigarette before the major geek out begins ...

[callahan09]

I just looked at Steam and it is available to install right now. But GOG was the way to go. The most digital bonus items, no DRM, and they let you pre-load the game. I've already got it installed! Too bad I've got to go to work and I can't play it til later.

[pr0digyZA]

Played a couple hours (still in the freaking prologue). went to the shops in the morning and picked it up. Awesome game once you sitdown and get absorbed into it, the bad thing is I now have a headache from staring at the screen for so long, oh well off for some more.

[BushLitter]

Sounds brilliant, although at the same time I haven't learnt anything that I haven't already read from any of the previews that were floating around.

Got to get this. Seeing as my PS3 is dead, I'll turn my attention to PC games for now...

[NateCole]

Not surprise at all. Witcher 1 is the best RPG this gen sofar for me. Two i am sure is going to be amazing and built upon what part 1 has already done.

Part one was amazing with a few problems but i knew part two is going to be something special. Regarless of weather it wins goty this year or not it will most likely be my goty unless Diablo 3 comes out this year.

[Theyellowflash30]

Man this game looks sooooo cool. i don't have the money for a High powered pc..... hopefully they announce a console version at E3.

[stealth500k]

single player combat rpgs are so boring. At least to me. I'll pass on this

[BeastlyRig]

WOW some console gamer is on a disagreeing rampage?

I'm pretty sure pc gamers are not doing this!

little black & white box babies!

Stop hating!

@Below umm I wasn't talking u !! but ok!

well skip skyrim also! I don't care much about what u like..

I know I enjoy PC quality games & support devs to get more of them! I'm not telling to to like anything ok?

[stealth500k]

not everyone enjoys single player rpgs. The artistic style ( not pure graphics) leaves alot to be desired. At least to me. Not everyone agrees with everything

@ below

In terms of pure graphcis yes. That cant be done. But the style of realism ( if you want to call that the art style) . Is just done to death and boring to me.

I am not saying everyone should feel as I do, but thats How I see things.

[BushLitter]

Leaves what to be desired exactly? This game looks incredible, better than anything that can be done on a console at the moment

[XxPURExX]

been playing it 2day and its awesome :P

[Apollyn]

I'm at work got my big collectors edition sat at home in my office...

[FAT MAN GO BOOM]

I need a f**king computer to play games on now please...

[stuntman_mike]

awesome game just played some of the prologue gonna get on a big one tonight. what i love about cdprojects releases you get so much stuff crammed into the normal edition it puts most special editions to shame and you pay no extra for it.

playing on a 5870 overclocked and it runs awesome at high settings.

[yamzilla]

about 3 hours in, this game is soooo sooo epic, graphics are top notch, have never seen better graphics in any game, metro2033 dx11 just got owned.

Gameplay, awesome, deep strategic

bioware, get you fucking notepad out, this is how you make an rpg, dragon age 1 and 2, mass effect 1 and 2 are pure shit compared to this.

bioware, how pale you look now, your last real rpg was neverwinter nights and baldurs gate 2

skyrim, you might be in trouble, we'll see!!

[krazykombatant]

Question... Do I HAVE to play the first one to keep following the story line?? I don't think i'll be able to run this on my comp anywhere near the high end so I think in the future i might give the first a run..

[caboose32]

Not really, it picks up after the first one, but they do a good job of catching you up on the story.
