'Witcher 2' casts a spell on the Xbox 360

'Witcher 2' casts a spell on the Xbox 360
Published by: forahobby on Friday, April 27, 2012
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

There's always an element within any role-playing game that fans of the genre will gripe about.


While last year's "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" was lauded for a beautiful and expansive open world, it was slammed by others for its somewhat bland combat. On the other hand, "Dark Souls" was hailed for a brutally difficult combat system yet dismissed by those seeking colorful characters and a tangled web of folklore.

"The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" (Warner Bros., for the Xbox 360, $59.99), with a nearly flawless combination of deep, nonlinear storytelling and challenging combat, satisfies all around. One of 2011's most popular and critically acclaimed PC games, it comes to the Xbox in a robust "Enhanced Edition" full of bonus content.

Playing as the witcher Geralt of Rivia -- a mutant who "slays monsters for coin" -- you are quickly immersed in a complicated world of political intrigue where loyalties are tested and back stabbing is frequent. With only fragments of his memory intact, Geralt is accused of assassinating the king and seeks the true killer to clear his name.
