The Bottom Line:
"Mixed reactions"
Forgotten Realms Demon Stone is a game with great graphics and sound and loads of hack and slash action.

The story begins years ago, when Slaad Lord Ygorl and the Githyanki General Sereka, the malevolent leaders of two powerful, destructive armies that have been fighting over the right to pillage the world of Faerūn, find themselves imprisoned in a mystical Demon Stone by a clever wizard named Blackstaff. Now jump to the present, where three individual adventurers--Rannek the fighter, Illius the sorcerer, and Zhai the rogue--find themselves allied on a battlefield rife with orcs. Each is there with his or her own agenda, though upon entering the secret chamber that houses the Demon Stone and accidentally freeing the evil antagonists, the three find that their fates are intertwined. Consequently, they embark on a quest to re-imprison Ygorl and Sereka.

The cinematic-style score is well suited to the frenzied pacing of the game, and like with the visuals, the sounds of the battlefield use layers upon layers to give a grander sense of bedlam. The voice acting is appropriate and well delivered--with the gruff fighter, the contemplative sorcerer, and the smart-alecky drow rogue all putting in convincing performances

In the end Demon Stone is fun to play. The story is quite good, the gameplay is also enjoyable but the camera is a complete letdown.
With such impressive environments you'd expect that at some point in the game you can look around and admire the view for a while before you go back to killing foes and continuing with the story.

Now letting he camera issues aside, there are loads of things to try in Demon Stone.
As you kill foes you gain experience and gold that you can use to upgrade your abilities, weapons and learn some new moves.
All i can say is that the game is fun to play and it will hypnotize you in believing that you are one of three main characters.......................but don't worry.....................the bad positioning of the camera will bring you back to reality.

    D&D Online goes free to play, but unfortunately for Turbine the decision came two or three years too late. The game is dead, time to move on.
