Demon's Souls invariably ends up in a discussion of about difficulty. Some gamers claim it to be the hardest game this generation, while others, just to get some attention imo, say it's easy. This game cannot be classified as easy as the most innocent of mistakes get brutally punished every time. I'm sorry guys, but if you say its easy then I think you need have your head evaluated. Sure, to finish the game isn't impossible at all, but you will spend many hours getting there, and many, many hours redoing what you failed to do on the first run through - in other words dying.

If anyone again says its easy then ask them why they said that. They can't just fly through the levels. It's impossible. Did they cheat, or use a walkthrough? Did they even get very far at all? And if you find that rare person who says its easy and he is on NG then ask him how many hours he has played.

Was a test easy if you spent 40hours studying for it? No, you were just prepared for it - that doesn't make it easy.

Anywayz...

Pros

- Inspires fear of death on a level I haven't expereienced since Resident Evil 3

- Chilling atmosphere complemented with the perfect visuals and sound

- The combat is really spot on. Everything that happens is fair.

- UTTERLY rewarding. Finishing a level on the first playthrough (I did it on 1-3 and 3-2) for instance is an experience I will never forget...Slowly crawling through the level. Eager to see what's around the next corner while being a little apprehensive as well. That feeling of uncertainty...

- Online (has been covered extensively)

 

Cons

- ummm

- well...

- nothing

 

Verdict: 9.4/10

PLEASE everyone, go and buy this game and let's get those servers full! (once PSN is up again of course  )
