5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best games of all time.,
By pipking (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Dark Souls (Video Game)
Challenging, enigmatic, immersive, and incredibly fun, Dark Souls improves upon it's predecessor (2009's PS3 exclusive Demon's Souls) in almost every way. Players traverse the open world of Lordran, from the top of the castle bell tower to the very bowels of hell, engaged in incredibly nuanced, smart combat with varied, hostile enemies. As the tagline says, you will die, and the game uses death not as a punishment or a falsified 'end' condition (vestigial design from quarter-eating arcade games), but instead as a learning tool. Death is also rarely unfair, being a result of your failure, not bad game design.If you're looking for something easy and relaxing that will constantly pat your head and tell you how awesome you are, Dark Souls isn't it. It's a tough nut to crack. Players are given the barest amount of information to proceed and a big part of the fun is in discovering new areas, experimenting with different play-styles and figuring out what it all means. The online functionality - more-or-less the same 'massively singleplayer' approach that Demon's Souls had - remains as the single most interest example of non-traditional connected play in the history of gaming. I don't think of Dark Souls just as a great game. I also think it represents brave, intelligent and ground-breaking game design - something very rare in Shooter Season 2011. If you've got the gumption, there's nothing else like it.

As hard as it can get,
By Anton PANAITESCO (Montreal) - See all my reviews
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Dark Souls (Video Game)
Those of you that are over 30 years of age might remember those games, back in the 90's where it took a lot of patience and an extra stack of coins to pay for the extra lives at the arcade.Yes indeed, games back then were far harder than they are today and it sometimes took quite a few tries to get past a given "boss". Well Dark souls is one of these games. With limited save points that make all the bad guys re-spawn and a limited amount of health points that allow some of the monsters to send you back to your last save with a single blow you understand why the latest game pads are wireless: So you do not hang yourself with the cable. The game itself is stunning with breathtaking graphics, the character evolution options allow you to fine tune it to match your favorit gameplay. This game ensures a very long time of fun (and quite a few of raving around in your living room). For me it's one of the best games of 2011. If you reckon you are brave enough (and patient enough) to tackle it, go ahead !
