The title pretty much explains it. I only tried DS2 for a couple of minutes, and I must say I am pleased with it so far. Graphics could be better, but they are good enough for my liking. Game runs smoothly becasue of that :P, and looks good. Sound effects are good too and so is playability. Combat goes about fast and is fun (at least the first ones hehe). Introductory cinematics describe what happened and leads right to the beginning of the game and into your character. Would have liked a bit more customization options for the character, but well.
