The Witcher 2 is a huge, complex and expertly written RPG that has the capacity to consume weeks, maybe even months of your life. While its roots are on the PC, it's translated effortlessly to the Xbox 360 with no compromises and stacks up well against the prettiest games on the system. It's more hardcore than Skyrim but by no means inaccessible and, crucially, rewards any extra time and effort you're prepared to put into the crafting and combat.
The OXM verdict
+ Huge and complex
+ Satisfying combat
+ Looks gorgeous
+Player choices with impact
- Some dull dungeon crawling
The score
An RPG with both scale and substance

The Witcher 2 continues to be a colossal creative and technical achievement and the superb 360 version only confirms the excellence CD Projekt's craft. Console users get a fantastic version of a fantastic game, while the PC users get a great patch that improves and enhances the experience of the original, a perfect excuse to return as The White Wolf and to live his adventure from a new perspective.

Its weighty combat, difficult choices with real consequences, and fascinating storylines are some of the best gaming has ever seen. I can no longer lord it over the console masses with this one, though, because this long-in-development Xbox 360 port is just as amazing as the original. It's actually better than it was at launch...

The Witcher 2 looks simply stunning and instantly pulls you into its amazing world.
Complimenting the games presentation is the wonderful voice acting and an equally impressive soundtrack. The music is certainly special, adding to the atmosphere no end and making you glad that these wonderfully crafted sounds are included as standard in enhanced edition of the game, along with a quest book, a beautifully designed map and the game manual.
Quality fantasy RPG’s are hard to come by on current consoles, many have tried and with the exception of Bethedsa and to a lesser extent, 38 Studios, most have failed to live up to expectations. In the Witcher 2, at last we have a challenger for the crown, it may not have Skyrim’s open ended world, but what it does have is a story and action to match. CD Projekt has arrived on consoles in style, if this is just the beginning of that journey then I for one can’t wait for the future.
Rating: Outstanding

The world’s smaller than the likes of Skyrim or Amalur but freer than Dragon Age, and feels more real and believable than any of them. The forest in Chapter 1 is overgrown, dank, and oppressive, and towns feel like people actually live there, packed with mud and dirt and with a brothel and a gallows at the centre. This is a world with no obvious good and evil choices, it’s all wonderful shades of grey and every choice can have an unexpected outcome. This is a game where you can side with the terrorists, the skull-faced eye-hunting vengeful spectres or the powerful man-eating trolls (incidentally my favourite characters in the game). The Witcher 2 is an RPG like no other – one where you feel you’re making an impact with every action, which is a tremendously satisfying feeling.
Graphically the PC version obviously is superior, but it’s amazing how well and smooth CD Projekt have got the 360 version to play. Yes there’s a bit more mist, a few more doors in towns, a bit more pop-up and a slightly less colourful look to everything, but overall we’ve still got a fine looking game here.
To wrap things up, I’m proud to say that The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 is no slap-dash port, it’s a proud conversion handled so well that it feels like it was meant to be here in the first place. Barring a few control curios I quickly began to feel like playing the game with a 360 pad was the most natural thing in the world, and graphically CD Projekt have moved the PC version’s system-straining engine over elegantly.
This is an RPG you really have to own, and if you’ve been holding off for the console version rest assured you’ll be getting a smooth experience that was well worth the year-long wait. The Witcher 2 itself is still an incredible title that really makes you feel that you’re having an impact on the people and politics of this world, and the Enhanced Edition only makes it better. Have you bought it yet? Well, do so. Go on, Amazon’s right around the corner.
Our Score: ............. 9.0
