Marty from DC writes: Before you go getting all excited over this expansion Im going to knock down your expectations a peg or two. Dark Arisen commits nearly all the atrocities of its predecessor. Missions never venture away from the standard fetch quest, characters remain as monotonous as Entourages Vincent Chase and your pawns repetitive dialogue still encourages you to scalp their face and pour vinegar over the remaining flesh wound.

EuroGamer Italy: "With Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Capcom has done a great job offering a refined experience to both new players and hardcore fans of this fantasy game. If you've never played Dragon's Dogma this is a must buy, hands down."

ThisisXbox: "Rising from the ashes is a re-release of an already quite accomplished RPG title from Capcom. This new edition not only includes the original full game but new additions you would expect from any DLC, and some you may not; new enemies, locations, quests, character customisation, weapons, armour and more. The Xbox 360 version comes with 2 disks, 1 for the original Dragons Dogma with the Dark Arisen expansion added (including some smaller tweaks and bug/glitch fixes) whilst the second disk contains a HD texture pack and Japanese voice over files."

Push Square: "Wheres the fun in honesty? We could be transparent and reveal that we totally forgot to push the publish button on our latest Game of the Month article, but lets run with a more ambitious narrative instead. So, in actual fact, the whole Push Square team has spent the past eleven days locked in an underground basement, dramatically debating which title deserves Aprils gong."

Xboxer360: "Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen is definitely a game worth playing. If you loved the original outing, then dont hesitate with this. Bitterblack Isle should be your next holiday destination and if you have yet to play Dragons Dogma then youll find even more value for your money in this bundle offering up the best of the original and a brilliant extra few hours thrown in for good measure. Dark Arisen left me satisfied and excited to see what the team will do with a sequel, heres hoping we hear something soon."

Overall, Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen delivers a fantastic experience as the original along with some good additional content. If you have not yet had the chance to experience this game, you will thank yourself by picking up Dark Arisen and playing through the entire adventure of Gransys and then explore the mysteries of Bitterblack Isle.

Machinima: "If you fall anywhere in the middle maybe you played Dragons Dogma a little and thought it was decent Dark Arisen isnt substantive or profound enough to justify its price on its own."

RPGamer: " Dark Arisen is definite a play to Dragon's Dogma's strengths and it turns out well for it. There is still work to be done for the series, particularly in bulking up the story and world, but there's lots of highly addictive fun to be had from exploring Bitterblack Isle's depths. This is a brilliant opportunity to delve back into Dragons Dogmas thrilling gameplay, and certainly recommended for those who enjoyed the original release. Some, however, may be turned off a bit by the price for what to them is an expansion pack; the pricing at the time of release varied quite heavily between regions despite the simultaneous worldwide release. But for new players, this is an excellent opportunity to get the definitive version of an already great game."
