there are more bosses that made of multiple enemies, two times they throw three bosses at you, and there are a few bosses made of many smaller enemies so, they sure turned up the frustration meter on that one. there are a lot more humanoid enemies that are pretty tough but a bit disappointing a lot of boss designs aren't as cool as say like, the gaping dragon but still good fights, the story is a bit confusing, you need to beat it in NG+ to get the real ending which is what i'm going at now, but so far it is a pretty good tie in to the first one, i like the whole "war" thing, there are more npcs to find to bring back to your main place and a lot more to explore, hell when i beat the game i looked at my map and there were still 7 or so areas i haven't even been to, all in all i would say DS2 is great but it is lacking in a few areas, such as the sin system isn't quite working yet so i can't blue orb invade people, and there is no red eye orb yet just cracked ones so invasion is pretty limited. i would give it a 8.5/10 until they fix that.
