    Amazing game and sequel - Just not for everyone unfortunately.

    After dying about 50-100 times in the Undead Burg, I finally managed to fool the old Taurus Demon into jumping up and down the tower, allowing me to kill him with ease. I run down some stairs and see a bunch of guys with... Read Full Review

    A hyped game not to everyone.

    Dark Souls is the spiritual successor of Demon Souls, game of the year of 2009. The first thing about Dark Souls is that the game is harder then Demon Souls. The game utilizes a bonfire system as checkpoint as well as a ... Read Full Review

    Poor targeting system and delayed actions, but still a good game.

    If you have anger management problems or you are easily frustrated this game is not for you. Dark Souls would be great if the targeting system didn't make difficult to switch targets. The other problem that was noticed w... Read Full Review

    Think of it as an RPG-Simulation and you'll get the picture

    First of all, casual-friendly-gaming players should not buy this game, they should rent it. Or leave it on the shelves. Second, before buying it, think of it being an RPG-Simulation, just like Rainbow Six was the oppos... Read Full Review

    Maybe Not for everyone

    This game is hard. The combat isn't clunky, it relates directly to your stats. If your strong you move faster with heavier armor. If not, you move slow. The level of complexity of the game system is one of the deepest I ... Read Full Review

    Epic Fail!

    Are people being paid to say this game is great? This is by far the worst game I've played in some time. You'll start off getting killed by the first monsters you encounter, numerous times. The gameplay is very clunky. ... Read Full Review

    Amazing Masterpiece

    Lets get two things out of the way. One, Dark Souls is better in every way than Demon's Souls. Two, the difficulty is no worse than a Super Mario Brothers game. You can only get hit a few times and if you die.....gue... Read Full Review

    The only certainty in life are death and taxes. Dark Souls handles the death-part damned well.

    Dark Souls is a new level in gaming. It's not the graphics, the story, the visual effects or medieval hags with big boobs that will keep you playing (no offense, Witcher) - it is the atmosphere ! The darkness ! (and ye... Read Full Review
