9.5 | Presentation Though the CG sequences and storyline bits are a bit thin, when they're there, they're great, and the game's mood and setting are at once beautiful and terrifying. |
|
9.0 | Graphics The sometimes inconsistent framerate and slightly wonky ragdolls and collision detection are the only thing detracting from what is an otherwise gorgeously depressing, incredibly imaginative world. |
|
9.0 | Sound Hilariously bad voice performances aside, the atmospheric ambience and great sound effects will give your surround system a workout. |
|
9.5 | Gameplay Hands-down one of the most unique and rewarding games you'll ever play, Demon's Souls demands absolute concentration and is completely unflinching in punishing a lack of it. Yes, in a good way. |
|
9.5 | Lasting Appeal Quite honestly one of the deepest games on the PS3, one could rightly say Demon's Souls doesn't even start until your second time through. |

9.4 |
