Its been awhile since I've played a game that trully hooks me into its story or the lack of one in the case of Dark souls. After dying for the hundredth time, I forgot about what I was fighting for. I had a personal vendetta, merely to prove that this game was my B,tch and not the other way around. well I lost that battle. On to the review then, game play is great its what kept me playing for hours. A few hit collision issues that were undeniable glitches but may have been psn lag.
There really is no memorable sound track that I noticed beyond ambiance or the boss battles.
weapons seamed very similar in combat but looked cool, especially those you gain from bosses.
graphics are better than demon souls and by far more colorful. great game but as with demon souls I just got tired of dying. definate Rent or Buy (for real Gamers)

Dark Souls is an awsome game were anything is pretty much possible. Offline play is awsome and Online play is just a blast!(Except for the trolls that try to get you to kill your merchants and stuff) But at the same time you pull your hair, sream obscenities at the screen, and almost snap your controller in half! But all in all the game is awsome and even when a cheap death robs you of 100,000 souls it still pulls you back in and makes you scream all over again.

Again, can't believe this game is getting 10s. Great combat? Sure, if you call A.I that just stands there and lets you shoot arrows into them until they die without ever moving. Hard? Hardly as once you learn the 2 or 3 moves that each enemy has it's simply a matter of blocking or dodging and striking while they are stuck in their recovery animation. These people giving 10s have zero idea what challenging combat is. The entire game is built around overpowered enemies with dumb A.I to kill you in one or two hits to falsely extend what would be a 5 or 6 hour game. Still a VERY enjoyable experience and one of my favs this gen.
