    Demon Stone is absolutely relentless. [Jan 2005, p.81]

    It's considerably derivative and it doesn't bother with experimental gameplay or ideas.

    An addictive action RPG that just falls short of the mark due to sheer difficulty, linear game play and the lack of multiplayer options.

    The camera angles are poor to the extent that Demon Stone plays almost like a side-scrolling game, progressing slowly and mundanely from one cluster of enemies to the next.

    The game looks and plays very much like ea's 'the two towers' & 'return of the king'. In fact, most of the enemies could easily pass as lord of the rings characters (mostly orcs). But unlike the LOTR titles, the gameplay here feels awkward. Lining up with the enemy you want to hack and slash is needlessly difficult. It's because of the touchy controls and camera that somehow makes depth difficult to guage. Eventhough the actual graphics are strong, the animation is not. It looks good in screenshots, but not so good in motion. Demon Stone has some elements of a great game, but it's not the complete package.… Expand

    This only difference between this and "LOTR: Return of the King" is that "Return of the King" is actually fun.
