First reviews are up too it seems.

Embargo? What embargo! That said though, these appear to be very skimpy on the details and probably the only one I would trust would be the Jeuxvideo score, despite the platitude laden bulletpoints.

(From gog.com)

CD-ACTION (Biggest polish respected game mag) – 9+/10
[World first exclusive review so we should notice that it may be biased]

+ amazing graphic/audio
+ superb story
+ real mature game
+ great humor

- stealth sections
- game has ending (it’s not infinite – joke gripe)

PELIT (Finish biggest gaming respected mag) – 93/100

“Sexistic, humoristic, atmospheric and brutal,
Witcher 2 redeems all of my expectations.”

PC-ACTION (german mag) – Score: very good

+ Charismatic, totally cool hero
+ decisions have a major impact on story and gameplay
+ Brilliant graphics, dense atmosphere
+ Prima drawn characters

- Story is weaker towards the end
- 3 Act to short and poor in Quests
- combat control sometimes inaccurate ”

JEUXVIDEO (Fr magazine) – 19/20

- The Witcher 2 keeps it’s promises and even more.
- The rpg that’s cd project give to us is simply hallucinating.
- The devs give us an intelligent rpg, adult, beautiful and damn immersive.
- TW2 is higher than the first, and I even could say that it’s the best rpg i have ever played.

In an ideal world, I’ve just finished building a liquid-cooled powerhouse of a desktop with all the doo-daa’s Erth keeps blabbering about, and a copy of the Witcher II has just arrived at the door. Alas, it is not an ideal world.

@4: Wouldn’t trust Erth to know what he’s talking about.
