Hi all,

We have just published a review of *The Witcher: Enhanced Edition* - if

you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/This is deep, uncompromising and powerful gameplay which, despite the

enhancements and expansions, is still going to look incomplete to a lot

of people. It doesn't have motion captured gestures, spangly

super-special graphics and so on -- these are the kind of things the

uninitiated might say.

Frankly though, those people are missing the point. / /The Witcher,

enhanced or not, isn't about the graphics or the fluidity of the

gameplay and just because you can switch the game to play from an

over-the-shoulder perspective doesn't mean you should. This is a game

that's about getting pulled into the fiction, meeting the characters and

learning how far your moral rules can be pushed before you draw the line.

/ /The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is a definite improvement over the

original release, both in terms of content and performance. It runs a

lot faster, plays a lot smoother and loads a lot quicker.

That said, it isn't a game we can recommend for everyone because the

vast number of gamers are likely to be put off by the huge game world

and complex mechanics. If you're a serious RPG fan though, in the mood

for something that'll give you hundreds of hours of gameplay and plenty

of twists, turns and lingerie along the way then / /The Witcher:

Enhanced Edition is a definite must-have. /

*Cheers guys!
