From Software's classic action adventure is updated for the current gen, with a smoother frame rate a very familiar challenge.

The smoother frame rate significantly improves the already excellent melee combat; Huge game world filled with treasures; Superb art design and boss encounters, including in the DLC

Still moments of occasional slowdown and inconsistent texture work; The original design can occasionally cross the line into perverse difficultly, particularly with regards to curses

One of the best games of the last generation gets to join the greats of this one as well thanks to a solid remastering and underlying mechanics that...

Masterfully designed world; Immensely satisfying combat; Loaded with replay value

Camera can still be dodgy; Redone visuals vary wildly in quality; Gruelling difficulty isn't for everyone

When the launch day finally came during September 2011, I was up at my local ASDA picking it up minutes after it was put on the shelf! Little did I know, taking this game home that I was about to endure a four-month love/hate relationship with FROM Software's new game!!!

Loving dark souls at the moment, it doesn't look as good as most remastered games, but it's the gameplay that counts, and I think it's awesome, give it a go if you haven't played in on the playstation 3 like myself.

Bought it for my self good graphic easy to understand forget time when you play it because it just brilliant

It's Dark Souls except no more laggy Blighttown! Or Lost Izalith either... yep, they fixed those frame rate issues. Unfortunately, the duplication glitch has been fixed so no more infinite humanity or souls. But other than that, still a classic.

This entire series of games, are all really hard, challenging but great fun

Dark Souls is a franchise with a lot of influence over the way games have developed this past decade. The Souls games have inspired a whole swath of imitators, both good and bad, thanks to their revolutionary design. I've also never really played them before now.

Stable frame-rate; Laser-precise level design; Clean; shiny graphics

Still terribly hard; Hardcore fans will find some drawbacks; Causes constant howling of despair

When I preordered this I was super excited for it, even more so when it arrived. I was disappointed when I opened the package and the plate had a small, unrepairable dent in the top 1/4 of the plate that I can pretty much guarantee won't be damaged enough for a replacement.

It's dark souls. If you enjoyed ds1 and only ever played it on ps3/xbox then this is definitely worth the buy. If you've played on PC with dsfix it's not worth it unless you really value the 6 player multiplayer that was added to this.
