I won a ridiculous amount of Witcher 2 goodies, which I received in a steady flow. The Xbox version of the game was in the last parcel to arrive, and generally it lived up to the high expectations I'd built up.
If I had two criticisms - the graphics are very good, but from the reviews I'd expected them to be state of the art. They aren't, but do the job, especially if the game is installed to the hard drive.
Secondly the map is really dire. I can't help but feel a compass would be better during the game and pausing the game should give the same detailed map there is at the moment for a more general location.
But this is nitpicking really; it's a compelling game with good replay value (it genuinely needs to be played twice), a great story and interesting characters. It feels a little more linear than say Skyrim, but that's probably a price to pay for the fantastic storyline.
A great PC franchise makes a surprisingly successful journey to consoles. Lets hope for more.
9/10.
