The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings - Premium Edition

This is why I own a pc for gaming because every once in a while you get an absolute stunner of a game which is developed for this one platform before any other and boy does it show everything about this game is first class.

The graphics blow you away right from the start the best i have seen in a pc title to date. And gameplay etc does not let the gorgeous graphics down either.

Would just like to say though plz use a bit of common sense when installing as below I put zero instead of O's in seriel key but worked out straight away what i done and simply changed it to O's and was fine. Also turn of UberSampling as this is designed for multicard systems if im correct.

Apart from that the game is stable and runs fantastically.

Wow i have just played this game for 12hours straight.
The game looks and feels fantastic.
The game is so gripping and epic. My jaw nearly dropped off at the starting area, the siege of the castle. This is a true AAA PC game none of this dumbed down console rubbish and yes it is far superior to Dragon Age 1&2.
Witcher 2 is a true RPG with so many paths to choose, through the decisions you make.
A warning to newbies the difficulty in this game is tough and a true challange.

I loved the story and characters throughout this game, they really come alive and the world itself is so full of character. Your choices are never really clear cut as they were in Baldur's Gate style games: you very often have to go for the lesser evil, trying to stay true to the road you have chosen for your witcher, and it's not so easy.
Combat is deeply satisfying (I only wish I had understood how to use the riposte skill much sooner than I did), the graphics are very good and voice acting is great. I'll definitely play this again, changing my choices to see the different outcome; the question is whether to do that right away or wait after I've played something else.
Definitely one of the best RPGs ever, for a mature audience.

I have never really been an RPG fan but this game I had a look at as it was getting rave reviews. Also nothing that great has been out for a while.
The graphics in the game are stunning, and I mean amazing. It really does put the PC back on the map as the best games machine. Everything looks so good in the game to the point you are happy to just walk about and explore.
Exploring is also a great aspect, you never feel like you are following a made path like in say Quake. And at times you make bad choices and learn from them.
The story is for me pretty good but if you are not into fantasy style books then you may be a bit board as it has all been done before. But this does work well and you do get an epic feel with the game.
Sound is also fantastic with a great mix of FX and music to keep you happy.
If you are a novice to this style you may be puzzled at the different controls for spells, mixing potions but this game is worth the research to get what is going on.
This is a game for adults and I do recommend not letting under 18s play it.
Playing on a Phenom 2 X4, 450 Gforce with 4GB ram it runs flawless. Also a decent sound card will give you a better all round experience.
Well worth a play on a rainy day for all fans of PC gaming.

Everything that has been said about this game is true. it is beautiful. engrossing and enjoyable but be warned. it is also uncompromisingly ADULT. As an adult this is a good thing but if I were buying this for one of my sons I would have think twice. There is plenty of reasonably explicit sex. swearing (including the dreaded C word) and violence. This is most certainly not for kids. which I think is a good thing because video games have long had the image as infantile. meaningless exercises in entertainment. This on the other hand is a good step forward to establishing the video game genre as a legitimate art form. Brilliant.
