Entertaining Hack&Slash

User Rating: 8 | Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone PS2
I was pleasantly surprised to find that DemonStone was alot of fun. It offers some great visuals, and you really do feel that you're in the middle of some epic battles. There is actually some strategy to the tile, not just a bunch of button-mashing. I played on hard difficulty the first time, and it was a challenge, especially the last two levels. I had to go back and level up a little bit to get through. It really is fun to jump on evil creatures' backs and slash their throats with the rogue, spin your sword around and take out a circle of foes with the fighter, and put some serious hurt on your enemies with the spellcaster. I thought the choice of Michael Clarke Duncan for the head bad guy was a little weird, but whatever...Nice story that doesn't drag. Very short, about 20 hours or so, but hey, I would rather have fun for 20 hours than drag through 40 boring ones. I say this is worth picking up.
