Game on: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
seeking a morally complex role-playing game which is really hard? It is therefore of

Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
(Xbox 360/PC) plus a little familiar agriculture, tone and theme. Both take place in a world at war for the indiscretions of kings and queens, shamelessly agree - some would say free - the brutal violence, betrayal and shirtless uprising, and plunge their hero in the moral dilemmas of this which is impossible to leave without spot.
Both also began life as a series of novels, but to varying degrees of fame. The Witcher original, released in 2007 exclusively for PC, welcomed the players in the world of the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Unlike Game of Thrones, which built and Song bestseller George RR Martin Ice and Fire openness and good reputation of HBO, the first title The Witcher was a collaboration among the unknowns: outdoors some of Poland had read Sapkowski's books, and even fewer had heard of the development studio CD Projekt RED. However, The Witcher was a success, thanks largely to a similar combination of morality disorder, gripping narrative and a willingness to flog clothes buxom female characters in four and a half seconds - and somehow make us feel sophisticated by doing so.
fills a gap in the market for role-playing adventure flagrant adults. It takes place in a realm beyond good and evil. The hero - Geralt of Rivia mutant monster hunting - has an uncanny ability to find themselves in a dilemma right answer. Decisions in traditional RPG tend to offer only the notions of comic morality. Options tend to be altruistic absurd ("Save the Children?") O cruel, inexplicably ("fire?"), With an option as an occasional half shot hit neutral ("Save, then set it on fire? "). Geralt problems are less clear - that the murderer escape so that the innocent will live, for example, or bring justice to the detriment of more innocent lives? There are many different paths through the game but none is quite right, and not the bad guy. - Due to a staggered release program seriously, Xbox 360 owners can discover the rest of this month after nearly a year PC gamers for the first time for him to face, but - with new scenes, characters and places - is waiting paid off.
One thing that all paths have in common is that they are difficult. In fact, even on normal difficulty, I've lost count of how many times that ended in the "Game Over" screen reading through the game short prologue. First, I died - about eight times, in one of the first battles - because he attacked a group of soldiers in the head, in The Witcher 2 is nothing less than suicidal. Then he died because they run fast enough from a dragon. Moments later a prison guard hit my lights in a fight. And finally, he died five hours a group of armed soldiers, before finally overcoming the classic roll-around-the-combustion in circles of small fireballs tactics. Which, while effective, is a fighting style more suited to the murderers of monster magic clowns.
