When i first popped Demon's Souls into my Playstation I was a little confused why my friend though it was so fun. It took me about 6 hours before I encountered the dragon on the bridge. I died and rage quit for a whole week. Then I sought advice from my friend who made it to the final boss (on chapter 2). He told me a few things while we played Payday and that pretty much jumpstarted the next month of my life. Once I beat the game, I made it to the maneater bossfight which sadly made me want to sell it. This game made me feel like a kid, when i first beat spiderman on the PS1, not starstruck by the fact I was playing as spiderman of course but just amazed how much I can improve through trial and error. I definately suggest this game to someone who's tired of your typical run'n gun games or RPGs that aren't really fresh or doesn't mind difficulty. Even though I sold it, i've always got Gamefly to help. :)

I did not like this game. It was good at first then it went down hill from there. It had a little good moments, but it just wasn't my type of game. If you could when you receive all of my games. To please send the three i got down there now on my game q. They said they are available now the one's i picked out but hopefully you all can send the first three i have on my game q. thank you,,,,,,,charles dise,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.
