    With a load of unlockables, an involving story, and more action than any similar game before it, Demon Stone is the premier action/rpg title to own.

    To understand how Demon Stone beats the odds, all you have to do is play through the first level, with its epic battle and brilliant camera work. [Nov 2004, p.131]

    Demon Stone just happens to be in a more frantic, third-person mode, yet the same immersion is multiplied ten or twenty fold. You’d have to be pretty jaded to dismiss this game without giving respect to Stormfront for pushing the visual envelope on the memory-starved PlayStation 2 and bringing gamers who’ve never experienced a Forgotten Realms game a taste of one of the worlds of D&D.

    While I'll agree that the camera angles are nice, and the story line is interesting, I really don't like this game. The missions are repetitive, the battle system is shallow, and for the first half of the game, you can get away with mostly jamming on the X button, occasionally doing a Super when it gets too crowded, or holding down L1 so you can mash on X more, only for distant enemies. The second half kicks up a bit, but the crappy team AI will leave you to die in the corner by a large group of enemies. Don't buy this game unless you are either a big fan (I mean huge) of the Forgotten Realms series or a masochist.… Full Review »

    With good graphics, excellent voice acting, and fun, yet repetitive, gameplay you'd expect this to be a half-decent game. Unfortunately, the crappy camera control (or lack thereof) is the deal killer, and makes the game more frustrating than fun. That said, I did only pay 10 bucks for it, and that makes it somewhat forgivable.… Full Review »

    I had really high hopes for this game and it let me down...hard. It was too short and pretty damn boring.
