If CD Projekt can pull everything together and deliver all the elements promised, The Witcher could prove to be a uniquely gritty and powerfully engaging title.

That said, I'm sure its obvious at this point that I have personally fallen in love with this game and can guarantee I will be first in line to pick up my very own copy.

The graphics are crisp and fully interactive. The dawn and the sunset reflect on sparkling lakes, where fish and water-bugs leap out of Geralt's way when he cuts through the water.

Even though it uses Bioware's Aurora engine, which is nearly four years old, the game looks surprisingly good. The Witcher himself is wonderfully animated. In fact, there are over 200 mo-capped animations in the game, and, combined with detailed town and rural landscapes with complete day and night cycles, you have the makings of an atmospheric setting that should help draw players into its world.

CDProjekt held back on nothing and went that extra mile to create what I think will be just an absolutely fantastic game that will go down in history as the one you just have to play to be labeled a true gamer.

They've done extensive motion capture work on the title, and the combat animations are unique, graceful, and very impressive.

Every time we see this game, it gets better. I've seen a lot of it over the past couple years, and I'm practically champing at the bit to finally get my hands on it.

Honestly I didn't care about the Witcher at all before checking it out - this kind of game just rarely appeals to me at all - but after seeing it in action I'll definitely be following it pretty closely ti see how it turns out.

And it looks gorgeous to boot. The Witcher boasts attractive visuals, with a realistic flow of time, impressive weather effects, and all the bells and whistles we expect in the age of Oblivion.
