Nice graphics and nothing else.
In a nutshell: great graphics for its era, mediocre story, absolutely ridiculous battle system, lots of sex that doesn't even fit to the story, and a very boring gameplay. I give it 2 stars for the graphics only. You play as Geralt, a walking dead with pale skin, long white hair, and a crooked nose. Still, your guy attracts women as poo attracts flies. Every single female in this game wants to have sex with you, even in the most inappropriate situations: you make a potion to save a unconscious girl, she wakes up, and she immediately wants to have sex with you; or you are in a cave with a witch, her chasers are waiting outside to burn her, but guess what - she wants sex with you. Etc etc. You may think that developers have a very poor sex life, so they added a lot of it in a virtual world. But no, the reason for all that is the fact sex in games is trendy and sells well. And what makes it more ridiculous is the fact there are not even sex scenes in the game. You just collect cards for every girl you 'had sex' with. So I guess even youngsters who would buy this game for the sex will be disappointed. Putting the hilarious sexism aside, the game has great graphics that stand well even today, but that is all. The story is bland and won't make you wanting to see what happens in the next chapter. Crafting system is just alchemy: you can make potions from ingredients you find, but only a few of them have some practical use. The battle system is ridiculous. You have to pick from 3 different fighting styles, depending on your opponents. When the battle begins, all you have to do is click the attack button, wait for the cursor to become a flaming sword, then attack again to make a attack chain, then repeat. Boring and repetitive as hell. It's basically a quicktime event. Oh, and you have a few spells at your disposal, which are rarely necessary. There are also a few mini games, all of them boring and basically a click fest. All in all, it's not worth your money. Stay away.
