    The additional content provided by the Dark Arisen add-on is significant enough that fans shouldn’t feel the sting of re-purchasing the core game, as the new content and worthwhile additions made to the core game are well worth the asking price.

    If you missed out on Dragon’s Dogma the first time around, Dark Arisen is a must-play. Arisen’s content is different from the original game, but in a way that’s additive when combined with the experience. On the other end of the spectrum, dedicated Dogma fans will get their money’s worth thanks to the increased level cap, scads of new items, and new end-game boss encounters.

    The same game as the original, but with all DLC included and a new area to explore. A bit weird, but the extra content is worth the money. There aren't exactly any improvements though, so if you had any complaints about the original, they will still be present here.

    Technical issues aside and unfair difficulty in some quests don’t stop Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen from being an enjoyable and exciting RPG. While fans of the original may feel ripped off with the lack of any game changing enhancements, a lowered retail price suggests that Capcom is reaching out to newcomers who will get the most out of this release. To those newcomers I strongly suggest giving it a go.

    Great Game!!! One of the best Games ever, and i played a lot! The combat, the feeling when you encounter an ENORMOUS monster, the voice acting, the AI, the pawns, the weapons etc. etc. I liked the game more then skyrim or Dark Souls. Its more challengig (espacially at hard mode) and more rewarding. You will love it, AS I DO The Addon give new weapons enemies, and about 30-40 Hours game Time Together with Dragons dogma you have Over 120 Hours for rough 30€… Expand

    All new monsters, equipment, area, and quests what's there to not like? One of the best monster slaying game since Monster Hunter. You play this for the monster slaying and equipment collection not its RPG elements.… Expand

    i played this game about 3 week and i complain with it every time i played.

    when u start the game, u fell wandering around, and the quest g    uide is like then at about lv40 u well fell
    ur equip is ****ty, until u kill the big red dragon u got a new weapon with much more higher DMG then before.
    and every new monster after this they got extra high DMG and HP, CAPCOM always like player in this idiot way, the monster are the same and it's wast time to fight with this new guy
    and the DLC island is the same way, very high DMG and HP, they haven't think about what if player's haven't play DD before, or they are not LV200 to go to this new area.

    and the chest monster is totally a junk design, it make you need build your character a min-max DMG to rash it before it runaway, WTF is this for?

    it u want play a ARPG with challenge I suggest u can try dark soul.

    last...don't ever trust CAPCOM well bring any sincerity on game design    … Expand
