Demon's Souls started out being the first Sony exclusive that I have regretted purchasing/playing. My first attempt at the game was as a barbarian, and let me tell you right now--that character class SUCKS. Don't use it. I could barely make it to the first fog in the first level using that guy.

So, I thought it was just me sucking at the game, but it turned out I just suck at using that class. I switched to soldier and now my character is kicking ass. I spent close to 15 hours grinding in Boletaria Palace and trying to collect all the souls over and over. (Big hint: do those first two Boletaria Palace levels first--if you beat the first two big demons, the world will become fully light on your map, and those dragons will disappear, allowing you to collect some awesome items.)

Once you get a good start on this game, you will become addicted to leveling up and upgrading your items. There are big payoffs when you get past big moments in the game. I am very glad I didn't trade it in. Dragon Age has gone completely neglected on my shelf because of Demon's Souls.
