This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
I like to think myself an accomplished RPG player, But in the recent years every RPG has been a let down, I used to be a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, from 1-12 I played and mastered them all, spent 243 hours on 10 alone. But I was tired of the lack of challenge any of them presented. Dark Souls is a compliment to everything an RPG should be. It vast, completely customizable, has more weapons and armor than you could possibly want, optimization is not a key factor in this game. I like that yes they have certain weapons and armor that are considerably better but they are not "THE BEST" in the game giving you a full range of who you want to become in the World of Lordran. Love the plot lines for the NPC's the game is just amazing. Most of all I like that theres little direction, and most of all i love the difficulty. Gives you a real feel of achievement.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
This game is not for the faint of heart. If you just like playing Skyrim and other RPGs not on the hardest difficulty, then this isn't for you. This game takes difficulty to a whole new level. You may think I'm stupid when you play the beginning and it isn't that hard. Once you get to the Taurus Demon in Undead Parish, you'll know what I mean. Throwing bosses at you one after the other! There is no way point, so you must figure your own way. The combat and controls are very good, and the Replay value is super high. You're gonna keep play New Game +++ just to get more loot and more challenging enemies. It feels so rewarding just to kill a boss! The music and sound is actually pretty good, but graphics could be better. The environment and enemies look great, but the human models could be better. Other than that, this game is definitely worth $60, let alone $20. Go out and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Dark Souls is a fantasy world RPG that is extremely challenging yet rewarding to play. At the start of the game the player assumes the role of any of several different character classes which include the knight, bandit, thief, different wizard like beings as well as several other unique groups. Each individual class is unique and is equipped with special powers or weapons. On my first run through I used a knight which allowed me to use a bunch of different types of swords and shields throughout the game. The game is very hard, but once you get the feel for it the difficulty seems more manageable. Dark souls forces the player to be more intelligent in their decision making and requires a ton of patience in order to play through. When you first play the game it will make you feel like a puny weakling who basically gets crushed by any and all enemy types, but as you progress the ability to level up your characters attributes as well as the discovery of better weapons will only increase your chances of besting any enemy in your path. Gameplay- difficult, rewarding, and ultimately awesome. Controls- are a little slow to react at times which can only get you killed more often. Graphics: the graphics are good except for a few minor spots, but overall the game has a dark, foreboding, medieval/fantasy feel to it. Sound: great Replayability: definitely yes

When i started playing this game i though i would die but i didnt i beat the first boss in one try well i watch some guides before i played but still the first level is easy next you get put into this big world and its prettyy overwhelming at first but then you start adventuring in whatever direction you wanna go you start mastering the contols knowing when to wait and strike knowing when to block and sometimes knowing when to run away from certain enemies because you dont have the sufficent skill and yeah you might die in the process and lose some souls but its not a big deal trust me everyone was saying i would die alot and not really i kept my shielld up all the time dodge rolled alot and did some farming for weapons armor and to level up my strength health stamina and weight so i hope i help you guys and dont listen to all the people talking about it being mindlessly hard you just gotta analyze every enemy and know when to strike all you need is common sense and patience and remember you can use guides on were to get strong weapons or were to set out first this doesnt make you a bad player it helps now im not saying to using all the time but if your stuck or have some weak weapons then year use a few youtube guides or ign guides or even get a stratgey guide just try out the game you will like it its only 20 bucks for a year old game! MW3 isnt even 20 bucks yet

This is a great, challenging experience. It is the most satisfying and rewarding video games I've played in awhile. You just feel great after defeating the easiest of foes. If you don't mind dying too much (and I mean a lot!), you should purchase this game. Especially for the low price of 19.99!

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
The gameplay is not hard at all. The only challenge I found was trying to control my character. When you push a button to swing your sword it seems like it is delayed and you will find yourself swinging it more times than you pushed the button. The movemeant is slow and not natural, and the rolling feature with the wrestling move is out of place in a game like this. I have played harder games that were well made. If you want a hard rewarding game just get Skyrim, put it on the hardest setting, get a broken remote controller, and "Prepare to Die". This game could have been great if it wasn't plauged by poor controls.
