^why people call this game "very hard" is beyond me. I guess it's hard for the typical RPG, and you don't get the option to make it any easier, plus you don't get to "retry" many things (as buying something, regret it then reload the game as nothing happened) as this game saves automatically at all times whenever you do anything, and you can't save it for yourself or reload to a previous time in a game. Also, there are no "checkpoints", you die in a stage and you must go through it all over again, enemies and everything, only certain "shortcuts" you can unlock within the stage can save you some hassle on another run, and of course you never lose the items you get even if you die millions of times.
But overall is not a "frustrating hard" nor a "Break-my-butt in half-hard" game. A game like Ninja Gaiden Black is certainly harder, as it's a game like Metal Gear Solid 4 played in Big Boss Extreme or Uncharted on Crushing mode. Now there's a challenge. The difference is Demon's Souls is a lot more challenging if you're left completely on your own, but even playing online you get hints everywhere. And thank God for the guys who wrote the WIKI (http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/intro) I don't know what I would do without them (probably wait for the official guide with the US release)...so yeah, that guide too is everything you need to make an amazing experience even more fulfilling/bearable.
