    Vast and beautiful open-exploration world, the characters, gameplay and story are top-flight. Geralt's unique look reminds me of Elric of Melnibone, but the comparison stops at appearance - Geralt's story is a great ride!

    The only complaint I have is that the words are so tiny and hard to read. Other then that the game is fun and graphics are awesome. The story is interesting.

    This is an outstanding game. Very mature story line that does not hold your hand. It expects you to remember places, characters, and politics throughout the adventure without missing a beat. There are guides up online should you get lost in all of the lore though. This is an excellent successor to the first Witcher game, and I expect an excellent predecessor to the WItcher 3: Wild Hunt. In my own opinion, this game still looks great even today, which makes me even more excited about the next installment in the series. I feel that this is how games in a trilogy should be.

    This is a great game for fans of action-oriented RPG's. Awesome story, non-linear gameplay and many side quests will give you hours of gameplay.

    Loved the game. Never played the 1st one but wanted to play the second one before I got the 3rd and since I saw in the enhanced edition for cheap I jumped on it. I was not disappointed. Just have multiple saves when you're going good to make a decision because then you can just load it up and keep playing a different side of the story not played.

    If you like gorgeous graphics and great rpgs this is the game for you. The Xbox 360 is in need of great rpgs and this one fills the void. More of an adventure rpg in spirit of The Fable series this one is more mature. If you like rpg freedom and story don't miss this complete collection.

    This game was a impulse purchase . Price was pretty good for a extra content edition and I had been hearing good things about this game from my PC gaming friends . took it home and played it for about 2 months straight ,followed both paths and tried to see the results of all possible decisions . I really enjoyed how there was very little hand holding in the puzzle solving parts of missions . I played a lot of DND in my younger days and its refreshing to see puzzles where you actually have to take notes to remember clues switch order etc.My biggest recommendation is to save and save often .that said I do have some gripes . 1: Why cant you make your character jump .. I mean aside for the animations ? 2This would be much more immersive game if you were able to wander freely through the landscape instead of having to stick to the paths .3 I am starting to play the game on the hardest setting and I am finding the combat system clunky when dealing with the higher level monsters and humanoids . 4 not a huge fan of the arena game .mostly because it does nothing for leveling up your character in the story part of the game . and IMO it really brings the flaws of the combat system kicking and screaming into the light . Heres the TLDR . if you like Single player RPG games and can get this for under 20 bucks . BUY IT ! If you are looking for a single player RPG that is a kick butt arcade fighting game as well (and you dont have it already) I would recommend any of the Arkham series Batman games instead. Now go have fun !

    Only a few minutes in there is nudity. Some games the kids can play if you don't mind blood, not this one. Game play is ok. Crafting is tedious and I wish it weren't such a big part of gameplay. Storyline is multi faceted but not the best executed narrative

    I picked up Witcher 2 to test out the backwards compatibility feature on Xbox One. I loved Witcher 3, so I thought this would be a good one to try. I haven't played through the whole game yet, but the port seems to be well done. The game is solid, if not as well done as the newest incarnation.

    This game is as gritty as rubbing sand in a wound; and that is a good thing. This is a game for adults. NO KIDS SHOULD BE ALLOWED! The Witcher 2 is full of adult themes such as violence, and language to the point that it would make some sailors blush. Great combat and an excellent story make this a great addition to any adult gamer's library!

    Originally I had bought this game on PC (it was cheaper), but it had horrendous lagging and graphical issues on my system. With the Witcher: Wild Hunt incoming, I dug my old 360 out of the closet, bought this thing, and the game ran much smoother. It's a great game and a must play!

    Definitely slow in the beginning with a ton of cut scenes. The tutorial is helpful though because the controls are different than other games. Gets better when you're able to do side missions at your own pace.

    I had to buy this game after buying the Witcher 3. Ive never even heard of the series until i bought my xbox one. So this game was a must! Different than the witcher 3 obviously but just as fun! It will shed hours of your life but worth it!! A++++

    It's great to have a mature RPG with adult storyline and a complex plot versus some hokey over winded Final Fantasy drivel. The characters all have their own agendas and backgrounds and the only negative things in the game is the voice acting. The engine is not bad, better on PC, but still produces beautiful lush environments.
