Demon's Souls for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

YOU DIED.

Soak that sentence in, because you're going to be seeing it quite a lot throughout the course of playing this game.

I heard from a few friends that this game would be difficult. They told me to play it if I were up to a challenge. And here I am now.

Just to give you an impression of what you're going up against if you are so much as thinking of renting this game, there are no checkpoints throughout the course of entire levels (massive levels) until you defeat the boss on that said level.

Because there are no checkpoints, you'll find yourself battling the same demons about twenty times in a row (or more, depending on how much time you're willing to commit to this game). When you die, half of your overall health points are removed until you defeat a boss. And mind you, you cannot challenge a boss again once you've beaten it which is yet another headache to compound to an already ridiculously infuriating game.

At least the game had decent visuals, but that doesn't matter much if the game is virtually unbeatable.

In short: This game is impossible. By impossible, I do not mean very difficult. Very difficult is winning the Nobel Prize. Impossible is eating the sun.
