What Gamespot Users have to say about Arc the Lad: End of Darkness

  • Rating:4

    An awful sequel that takes all the joy out that was established

    Less than a year later, the much-loved Twilight of the Spirits sequel released to little fanfare. I expected a lot of improvements and more of the same, but this game was a huge departure and mostly recycled content. Yo... Read Full Review

    Poor design, repetative game play.

    Not worth getting the game is poorly made and repeatly killing the same things will get old fast. The game shares almost nothing with its predacessor Arc the Lad: Twilight of spirts, the multiplayer, does not come close ... Read Full Review

    End of Darkness is a poorly made sequel to Twilight of Spirits which far surpasses this disapointment with bad gameplay.

    In Arc the Lad: End of Darkness you begin as a young boy named Edda on an island called Cragh Island in which the Humans and the Deimos live in perfect harmony unlike most of the known world. You might notice if you have... Read Full Review

    A dull, confusing game that even the series fans wouldn't buy.

    Arc The Lad: End of Darkness for the Play station 2, is a dull, confusing game that is no fun whatsoever to the poor person playing the game. I would know because I own it and finished playing it so early into the game b... Read Full Review

    This is a boring RPG game.

    The last Arc the Lad that I played was not so bad, but this.. this game is really disappointed me. I have to force myself to keep playing the game up to a certain level because I already bought it. Honestly, I was so r... Read Full Review

    The worst Arc the Lad game released in the US. Don't bother playing this game!

    I rented this when it was released, and returned it the next day. For some reason, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits looks (and is) way better than this game. How that happened, I don't know. Usually games in... Read Full Review

    what a boring role-playing game

    Stroy Arc The Lad: End of Darkness™ takes place five years after, yet in the same world as Arc The Lad: Twilight of the Spirits™. Edda is a young man whose youth is marked by a "boring island life", but his ... Read Full Review

    Worst RPG Ever!!!!!!!

    This has to be the absolute worst RPG that was ever made. I mean I can't think of a single improvement over the previous arc the lad which i enjoyed. In fact i don't think anything except maybe the higher quality graphic... Read Full Review

    The end of " Arc The Lad"

    UNPREDICTABLE ! When I saw this part of the series in the store, I thought there would be a great game to play in summer. But that stupid one disappointed me a lot... Firstly, the first scene of the game, the introducti... Read Full Review

    Games like these make me wonder how Namco is still around.

    Namco is good for promising things and taking them away the last minute. So when I purchased this game, I don't know why I was surprised... First off, they tried to do what Capcom's Monster Hunter did. They stressed o... Read Full Review
