The Adventures of the White Wolf Continue

After helping to stop the rebellion orchestrated by the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose, and saving King Foltest's life, Geralt, the most prominent of the genetically enhanced, monster hunting mercenaries known as witchers, has become one of the central figures of political turmoil in the Kingdom of Temeria. Geralt continues to protect the King in the monarch's mission to bring peace to his state. The last bastions of the Order of the Flaming Rose yielded to the royal army, with the only remaining task to pacify the rebellious castle of Baroness La Valette, who announced separation from the Kingdom. But the attempted assassination of the king has changed everything. With the king not safe, and his own loyalties in question, Geralt begins his personal quest - to discover the origin and identity of the mysterious witcher-like assassin.

The adventures of the White Wolf continue in a true sequel to the events of the original game.

Poisoned Blade
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Atmosphere in a Fantasy Game!
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
The Witcher 2 isn't for everyone, but for a fairly large group of people, this could be one of their all time favorite RPG's.

Atmosphere: BEST EVER AWARD!
The atmosphere in the Witcher 2 is fantasy with monsters, dragons, magic, and kings, but it is deeply rooted in folklore. In fact, it is so deeply rooted, that it feels like it's a part of the old European Myths and Legends. From the dialogue, character actions, art direction, and construction of the buildings, this game smacks you over the head with authenticity. The characters aren't burdened with today's morality. They all get medieval. Guards get drunk and pee on the wall... Leaders will hang peasants just to make a point... Elder men talk about the local folklore and there are a few scenes that explain the story of The Witcher 1. Prostitutes, gamblers, and thugs are abundant as well...

Story: 9/10
The story is "Game of Thrones Complex" and there are many twists, meaningful choices, and unholy alliances you must make. Basically, Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher. He is a bounty hunter for vile creatures that lurk in the deep woods, or unholy things that have risen from graves. In a sense, he is also a Marshall, because he doesn't go out and kill X Monster. He investigates the scene and decides what to do. Some creatures must be killed on site, while more intelligent or noble creatures can be reasoned with. Geralt isn't burdened with a high sense of morality either. You do what you want and live with the consequences. There are many dialogue trees in the game and these greatly impact your quest. The first thing that I realized is that all of these choices are difficult to make. There is no GOOD / EVIL framework around them. Everything is in shades of grey. Sometimes, the payoff is instant, other times, you deal with the outcome hours later. What sets the Witcher 2's story apart is that there's no "God's Eye View" of the Story. You're in it, the entire time, at the ground level. So, things are happening in the world, but you only see pieces of the big picture. You need to pay attention... The story is told through Movies, in game cutscenes, and dialogue. Most of it is well acted, too.

Gameplay: 8/10
If you approach this like a hack and slash, you're gonna have a bad day. This is a semi-open world game, where large areas are opened up to you as you progress through the story. You find a new town, talk to the locals, see what needs to be done, choose who you want to help, and complete quests. The game has a solid quest journal that marks spots on your map. There are also mini-games that involve arm wrestling, brawling, and 5 dice poker.

Combat: 8/10
This is not a hack and slash! If you charge into battle unprepared, you will die! In this game, you need to prepare before a battle. If you are hunting undead, you should mix potions, coat your silver sword with necrophage oil, and make small alchemical bombs. Being Prepared will make the battle 30% easier! A lot of people won't want to do this.

Geralt is armed with 2 swords. 1 iron for killing men. 1 silver for killing monsters. Geralt will use both swords quite a bit. Geralt also has potions, poisons, bombs, bear-like traps, and 5 useful spells: Stun, Direct Damage, Trap, Shield, and Make an Enemy fight on your side. You have a quick slash and a heavy slash. You can mix and match these in combat and the game will pick the best move depending on the distance. So if an enemy is in your face, pressing quick attack will quick-slash it. If it is 5 steps away, Geralt will do a lunging attack. This takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get it, it feels good. For defense, Rolling is your best option. You can block, parry, and repost, but when you fight multiple enemies, it's better to be quick on your feet.

Combat is difficult because there are NO HEALING POTIONS in Battle!!! That's right. In an encounter, you must kill everything with your current health. Your health does regenerate at a very slow rate... but it's not much. You really need to focus and keep your guard up!

Graphics: 10/10
The Art Direction, style of characters, buildings, props, monsters, are exceptional, and the technical art is very well done! It's one of the better looking games on the 360!

Sound: 9/10
The combat effects are great, especially in surround sound, and the music is very good. I prefer the music in Witcher 1, but that's one of my all time favorites (with Shadow of the Colossus).

Replay Value: 7/10
No Multiplayer, but you can play the game over and make different choices through the game. There are 4 difficulty levels, too. 1 Playthrough can take 20-50 hours, depending on how many side quests that you do.

Maturity: M! This is the M-est game to date. Sex, Drinking, Gore, Swearing, Naked Women, Taverns, Brothels, Horror, Complex Plots, Torture... It's on par with Game of Thrones!

Overall: 9.5/10
I loved this game. It's not perfect, at times the story was a bit confusing, the combat took some getting used to, but the atmosphere won me over. And I really paid attention to every detail in the game. The combat, alchemy, story, character motivations... I came just short of living in the game... and it was a very rewarding experience! If you want to dive into a world and pay close attention, nothing beats Witcher 2. If you want a Hack and Slash that you pick up and play once in a while, then move along.

Buy it if you love myths, legends, folklore, fantasy, etc...
Buy it if you loved the first Witcher (the combat is much better!)
Buy it if you love deep complex stories that unfold!
Rent it if you have 25-50 hours to go through the campaign on Normal Mode.
Avoid this game if you don't like M rated stuff.
Avoid this game if you like GOOD vs. EVIL. Everyone here is Grey.
Avoid this game if you just want a fun hack and slash.

If you like this game, I recommend the Elder Scrolls Series!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
The Witcher 2 is without a doubt one of the best games to come out last year for the PC. So how does the console version, released almost a year later, fare? Very well I'm happy to report. The Witcher 2 is a gripping RPG set in a very gritty and dark world. There are only shades of grey and the choices you have to make never have a clear right or wrong answer. You play Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter. Witchers are kind of like mutants from Xmen in that they posses unnatural abilities and are feared and hated across the land. Gearalt is framed for the murder of a king and must track down the real killer, who is a witcher like himself. In doing so you are embroiled in several political conflicts, wars, and the occasional romp with a fare wench. This game is clearly for adults, not just because there is a lot of blood and nudity, though that's more than present. I wouldn't buy this game for anybody under the age of 17. It is very deserving of the M rating it has. The game's story is complex and not something easily understood. It expects you to pay attention. The characters are interesting, well written and have realistic motivations. The world is great too, it really feels like a fantasy world while retaining sense of realism. This place feels real, it's not just some random fantasy world somebody created. As such the choices you make have serious implications. The game can play out very differently and you will not get every quest based on those choices. It's a game you simply have to play multiple times, no question. So needless to say this game is worth checking out for the story alone. My only problem is the third act of the game feels very short, even with the added content I didn't really feel like I could just explore and do random quests like I could in the first two. Kind of felt like they were just ready to wrap the story up. It's not that bad, but it was kind of disappointing. Also, the difficult to know what's going on at first if you haven't played the first game, and with it not being avaliable on the Xbox 360 that can be problematic. That said the game still concludes in a good way and after a little bit you kind of get caught up to speed. I still loved every minute of it this story and you should too, provided you like stories that are intelligent and complex in their design.

This game plays great, but be prepared, it's somewhat difficult. The Witcher 2 takes you seriously, and as such won't pull punches. These enemies want you dead, and you can be damn sure they'll try and kill you. You have to really use your head to defeat them. You can do this by using the right spells, potions and weapons. For example, you have two swords, one steel and one silver. Steel is best used for regular opponents like humans whereas the silver sword is best for monsters and other unnatural beats. A Silver sword will not be effective against a human wearing steel plated armor or chain mail. The means of selecting spells, weapons or other offensive items is similar to the power wheel from Mass Effect, you hold the left bumper and select your preferred tactic. It can sometimes be clumsy but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. That kind of sums up gameplay in The Witcher 2. I had a hard time at first but once I settled in and got the hang of it I loved it. The combat is rewarding and challenging. Geralt swings his sword as if it has weight, so don't expect instant hits, though you can use fast attacks with the A button, but the X button is how you really deal damage, though it's slow, so try and mix it up. The interface for menus is streamlined and works fine, though I feel it involves far too many button presses and can feel a tad convoluted, but it's not that bad. Leveling your skills is done through a skill tree with powers that level up twice and offer a wide variety of effects. Mainly though it's your typical RPG style. Combat, magic, alchemy and a training tree that is short and is just for general skills. Overall the game plays wonderfully and it's one of the best RPG's I've ever played.

Graphically, I honestly can't believe this game is running on the Xbox 360. Much like Rage and Crysis 2, this game seems like it's too good looking for a console. But some how CD Project red made it work. I suspect black magic or some other means of foul sorcery. Animations are incredible, characters move fluidly. Little things make the difference to me and the amount of care and detail put into the look of this game is astonishing. It's vibrant and colorful while maintaining that gritty feel. The only issue I have with this game visually is that some texture pop in does show up to a degree of frequency, but it's a minor gripe that shouldn't bother you.
The sound in this game pretty good. Sound effects are good, monsters sound ferocious, the world sounds truly alive, Voice acting is superb all around and the music is wonderful, the game comes with a soundtrack and you should give it a listen, it's good stuff.

So, overall the Witcher 2 delivers in every way. It's a wonderful game and shouldn't be ignored, if you're a fan of RPG's and are over the age of 16 give it a look see, it's well worth your time. Hopefully the xbox release will give the series a wider audience and we can get the third game for the Xbox as well. This is a thoughtful port and I can't begin to tell you how much I admire CD Profect Red for their work on this game, it's truly a masterpiece and I can't recommend it enough.
