Witcher 2 is work of art. Excellent graphics, story, and role-playing dynamics. Like Metro 2033 a lot of detail went into the design of the world of Witcher 2. It does have flaws, however. In a world that should run seamless and smooth, character and NPC animations aren't varied enough and turn kind of awkward and abrupt. Strafing and running straight or backwards look weird. Also, dialogue tends to repeat and isn't varied enough. Like in fight scenes. The same thing is repeated over and over again. However, the game is worth a five star for all the other good things about that completely outweigh the flaws.
I remember as a kid spending oodles of money at the arcade on this game...hundreds of dollars. Maybe more! I remember the music. It was sweet. Even today I sometimes remember the music. Oh! the inspiration :)
