Beautiful, compelling and unforgiving, Demon's Souls is the hardcore RPG experience PlayStation 3 owners have been waiting for since the platform's launch.
Envelop yourself in the Kingdom of Boletaria, a dark land devastated by the cruel fog that brings demons to feast on mortal souls. Vanquish monstrous demons in unforgiving combat and collect their souls to grow your own power. Progress through a non-linear world exploring ancient castles, deep caves and dark tunnels littered with deadly traps.
To succeed you will need to adapt your character, your equipment and your tactics to every unpredictable situation.
Revolutionary online features will support your adventure like never before, presenting seamless interconnectivity that serves in every instance to enhance the single-player game. Team up with other players in simultaneous cooperative play, working together to topple some of the game's colossal bosses, or force your way into the games of skilled players and challenge them to PvP battle.
Leave hints and clues for those who will follow in your footsteps. Your bloodstains, left either intentionally or through your own inadvertent demise, will allow your successors to view a replay of your death, helping them to avoid your gruesome fate. Unprecedented in its depth and subtlety, peerless in its relentlessly challenging gameplay, Demon's Souls is the ultimate action RPG.
Storyline:
King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.
Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness.

Demon Souls!!
I preordered this game and was lucky enough to get it at a fairly good price. The artbook is nice and the cd has all the amazing tracks that are in demons souls, put it in your ps3 and check it out! The game is very addictive and probably the hardest game i've played although DMC 3 was hard aswell. DMC 3 was very frustrating while in demon souls you know that your doing something wrong, you blocked at the wrong time etc. It does take a few tries to get used to the combat but you'll get used to it. The online is different and I think very good. It's so cool when you only have a bit of health left and then on the screen it says 'your message has been recommended' and your health bar is refilled. it feels very good to get your health back. Its a game where you're going to have to put a lot of hours in. It's not for the light hearted but i'd definitely recommend it!!

Demon's Souls
The best RPG I've every played. Reminiscent of Diablo II for the PC. Very addictive, will reduce you to a slobbering, drooling mess and you'll want more. Very tough gameplay, many puzzles and challenges, fantastic fight engine, eerie background sound effects and dark, scary worlds to explore. Plenty here to keep anyone busy for hours on end. It's up to the player to determine how they want to play - solo or co-operational, and many character types are available, all fully customizable.

A must buy
An excellent game. It's hard at first until after three or more deaths you're forced to plan your attacks better and not just rush in. Enemies will ambush you and jump you from behind just when you think it is safe. Truth be told you are never safe. Other players can invade your game and try to kill you, but you can also join up with others to get past the parts you can't do by yourself. You will lose hours of your life on this game so stock up on drink and food :-) Well worth the price.

At last!!!
I imported this from the US months ago and I am still playing it. Glad to see that the buzz has resulted in a UK release. Really, you are going to be seriously blown away by this little baby. But it isn't for the faint-hearted. Its HARD in the best possible way. GAME OF THE YEAR
