As soon as I saw that a review is out I literally jumped up and shouted: "yeeeaaaahhh". Ok I know, I know, I got overexcited, (last time this happened was in the champions league soccer match where Barca played Real) but this one of my most hyped up games for this year!

The 1st review is in the Polish mag, CD-Action. I'll sum it up for you:

Cons=

-Ending

This most probably Means the reviewer is a lazy ass and beat the game one time and saw one ending and was like "well I guess that's that"...

I was thinking the same thing. Does this reviewer know there are 16 endings? Someone backhand him!

Its £23 on The Hut.com and they ship free of charge to anywhere in Europe I believe. Very cheap and you also get the finisher pack, which is new finishing moves and advanced combat techniques. Out of all the pre-order bonuses I like this one the best.

that indeed is a great deal. only downside for me thats it not digital.

Think more publishers should do what EA Download Manager does, and let you register the serial from the retail version on their Digital Distribution service.

Good to see the game is getting good reviews, never expected it not to though, not easy to browse sites on the sneak, as at work, so can anyone elaborate on why stealth potions are considered Cons?

I'm truly anticipating a consistent experience throughout, and simply cannot wait for the launch of what may very well be one of the best RPG games to date by any studio.

Another review

So, what about Demon's Souls 2?

I think this is a screenshot of the configuration program.

We have Ubersampling!, I like it better than supersampling

Yes as we are known in the word as barbarians ;P The only words we put space between are: vódka, food, sleep and women

Bought the game on GOG, now waiting untill next week......(well I got three games with it, one for preordering and $16 credit to spend because europeans pay too much for the game

Glad it's not digital on steam. Personally I hate steam and would never buy anything without getting the cd/dvd physically. No way am I going to spend my money and count on some company to store everything for me when tomarrow they could go out of business and your all screwed! Titles that are only digital sure I get them digitally but not thru steam :-) Anyways I will be buying this game looks good
