 Demon's Souls - Best game i've played yet on PS 3 August 27, 2010
Mike Rima (Little Elm, Tx United States)
Although the game begins a little slow at first you quickly find that there are levels upon levels in this game. You can specialize your character in many different aspects, improve your weapons and equipment with enchantments, learn the magical system. It has awesome melee combat with detailed action and even has a good and very useful range combat component. After you get the ball really going in the game you find that there is even a mythology and history to this world that you are discovering. Very well rounded game i would compare it to a Doom like first shooter with the depth of the Ultima series from days of old! If you are interested in a fantasy rpg then this is a MUST HAVE!!!

I have played this game for a while now over a 150 hrs playtime. So I have a lot experienced with this game. Its awesome! Here are some helpful tips for those who are interested in buying the game.
First, this games auto saves All THE TIME; kill an enemy saved, pick up an item saved, switch weapons saved. Those 1 star reviews that are crying about no checkpoint/saved system clearly don't see that blue circular icon that flashes every time the game saves. IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK JUST QUIT THE GAME IT WILL SAVE ALL OF YOUR PROGRESS UP UNTIL THAT POINT including enemies killed and souls gathered.
Second, be smart not stupid if that looks like a cliff then it's a cliff and chances are you will fall to your death. Pay attention to detail you cannot Rambo your way through this game. Treat each battle as if it were a boss battle SERIOUSLY. Find out what works best for you, there a bunch of different starting classes to choose from try them all and see which one you like best. Through your play through mix and match you items and gear if you are in a world with narrow walkways try switching to a straight weapon like a spear because swinging a sword could cause you to accidentally fall to your death.
Third, forget about your body it is not that important half health is a pain yes but you get increased attack power, increase defense, and you don't make any noise while moving (you become more stealthy). Griefers cannot invade if your in soul form. Also just realize that dying will happen and when it does just GET OVER IT. If you lose your souls so what losing souls is least important in the grand scheme of things. There are tons of souls where they came from the less you care about dying and soul loss the easier this game will become.
Fourth, STOP being greedy if you reach a point during a level when think you should stop go back and upgrade or get more items then do so. In each level there are merchants you can find so you can always restock items. If you need to practice moves or find out what a spell does simply go to the nexus and utilize that empty space with all of the messages past Stockpile Thomas. Whenever your in the nexus remove all of your weapons so you don't accidentally attack any of the npcs
Finally, the combat in this games falls 100% upon YOU attack to much no stamina will be left to block, roll or move for that matter. Please people research this game before playing and during play through. Read all of the in game messages descriptions and the very important server message at the start of the game. I mean do heavy research it will be critical in understanding this game.
I love this game not for crybabies or the easily frustrated but if you want a good rpg with minor frame rate issues and has a difficult but healthy challenge then buy this game.

I could see how people could like this game. Interesting settings and more realistic combat aka get hit 3-5 times and die. I don't care for the game though because:
1) Griefers -- I really don't want to be invaded all the time and die at the hands of people I can not possibly match in skill and loot.
2) Grouping -- There is no grouping with your friends unless you're on the same servers and then it's hit and miss.
3) Laggy -- Not always, but I hate when the screen crawls and something runs up and bashes my brains in.
4) Loot -- Interesting stuff, but I like a more random / "different from everybody else" approach.
5) No save points -- Saving after a long and often treacherous trek is the only option.
6) Targeting -- Useful, but locking on and unlocking from groups will get you killed.
Glad others enjoy it though. "Death to the OLD ONE!!!"

Make no mistake, this game is by far one of the most difficult, most brutal and ruthless games I've played in some time. However, the feeling of accomplishment you get for killing a boss, or clearing an area is quite the payout.
The unique online aspect really makes you feel like you are part of something much bigger, though this is a "mostly" single player game.

At 1st it may be hard, lack of directions main reason, BUT it isnt too open to the point you get lost. It isnt too hard honestly after you get use to it, i think people like to say it is just so they feel like their accomplishing something special by beating it ( im referring to the fan boys who say ''this is for serious gamers only'')
I wish I'd picked this up on release day now because it truly is a great game, a good change from all the shooting games. As far as fighting with swords, axes, spears, magic, daggers, shields, bows, crossbows ect... you wont find a better game for that right now.
The graphics are better than what i seen on pics and youtube vids ( HDMI works wonders) and the replay value is almost endless, this is the kind of game that even after you finally beat it, you'll want to play more, try new methods.
I highly recommended that you dont use the soul farming techniques you see everywhere online. THAT STEALS THE FUN, to me it'd be like using a infinite money/ammo cheat on another game.
