I can honestly say I spent 100+ hours on this sequel to Dark Souls, it felt longer than the original and offers great replayability in the 'game +' mode, which also introduces new characters not seen in the first playthough.

I'd heard a lot of mixed reviews on the Dark Souls games. Great,, too hard,, frustrating etc. But the overwhelming high rating and reasonable price made my mind up.... Initially wow, graphics nice and conrols fairly easy to grasp.

it's a game how i use it is self explanatory. it's well balanced for online and offline gameplay, requires immense skill and timing, others online are mostly helpful and polite, no apparent bugs. only problem i've seen is the normal server issues that plague all game on release.

Challenging; Fun To Play; Multiplayer

This game is hard. It does not hold your hand, no directions whatsoever. You will have to put hours of work in to enjoy this. Not recommended if you are a casual player, highly recommended if you enjoy a brutally challenging experience.

Ijust barely got it and had it turned on and I love it so far keep up the good work

My boys love playing this game and play it over and over again.

It all started with Demon Souls, a formidable and unforgiving beast, on the Playstation 3. Unfortunately it was a game I had very little exposure too but generated a lot of interest around the hardcore gaming water cooler.

Take a look at the live streams, Let's Plays, and other online phenomena still surrounding Dark Souls -- released two-and-a-half years ago -- and it's easy to see that, despite its length and nearly inestimable depth, From Software's Demon's Souls sequel left fans wanting more.

As a longtime follower of From Software's work in the gothic-survival-adventure genre that one might say King's Field and the Souls games fall into, it's always been an irritation that Dark Souls garnered so much praise and attention (it became an industry-wide descriptor!

Avoid the icy grip of death. A lot of early Dark Souls II discussions centered on comparisons to the previous two entries in the series (including Demon's Souls ), but FromSoftware managed to regain some control of the post-release narrative with its DLC trilogy.
