The Witcher - Reviews @ Scifi.com & GamePro

The Witcher site is pointing out a couple of new reviews.  The first is at Scifi.com, where they liberally praise the game apart from noting the obvious rough edges such as load times.  The rating is A+ and here's a grab:

I could go on about the combo-driven combat, arguably the best, most graceful, most visually and mechanically satisfying ever in a real-time action role-playing game. I could talk about the lovely technical enhancements to BioWare's Aurora game engine that ably translate game artist Damian Bajowski's stunning concept work into three glorious stand-and-stare dimensions. I'd love to write several pages alone on all the clever to-dos, like one where you have to scrimmage with a killer plant ... after drinking yourself three sloppy sheets to the wind. Or another, where you have to pursue a criminal investigation, complete with interrogations, bribes, cemetery spelunking, illicit autopsies and other bits of skullduggery.

...and then GamePro,  who manage six whole paragraphs (at least three more than usual) and a score of 4.5/5:

There are no clear-cut choices in the branching discussions you have with various characters in the game. Your choices are neither right nor wrong as you are faced with ambiguous situations affecting your course of action. An excellent example of this is the tutorial sequence, where you have the option to aid a Sorceress with battling a mage or face a giant monster called a Frightener. Each option will give you a completely different outcome to the tale, and it is up to you to decide where Geralt goes.
