The Witcher 2 for the Xbox 360 was released yesterday, and pretty damn good... sure the graphics aren't as strong as a PC, but still very well, one of the best, on Xbox... and the 50 inch 1080p HD with 5.1 DD Surround Sound helps. lol

60 bucks, no key codes, no online pass, (it's SP only), 3 disk, a nice manual, an extra quest handbook, a large map... this is how games should be sold. wink

very good if you like RPG games... on the PC it was actually pretty difficult to fight, still not no button mash but easier on the gamepad.

it's getting great reviews and more importantly, user reviews.

BTW... it also has extras like a video showing what is a witcher, etc etc... also the opening movie, where the king is assassinated on a ship is GREAT, and can be replayed (in the extras) over and over.

I have the pc version but it runs so so. Plus the fighting is setup such that its actually kind of hard on the keyboard. Maybe I'll try the 360 version out.

Yes the xbox version is very tempting for me as I"ve lost my saved game on my pc due to a hardrive issue. Might be interesting to restart this one

I've ordered the "Dark" edition which has the medallion and art book and things like that in it. Also waiting for a European version to arrive too. The Aussie version of the game has some changed quests in it due to the stupid censor board. Those quests offered sex as a reward, but in the Aussie version, you automatically decline the sex and walk away. The Aussie nanny state won't let games use sex to reward players. Hence the imported, unaltered Euro version I mentioned...
