Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone

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.

My main objection to Demon Stone is its length. The game is MUCH too short.

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

Demon Stone could have been a great game given a little more depth and better computer AI.

Gives D&D fans the chance to enjoy virtually identical gameplay from "The Two Towers," but set in their favored backdrop. Aside from the trio of switchable characters, there's barely anything to distinguish the two titles.

Since you play every role on your first time through the game there’s not much new to experience should you repeat the journey. Again, we have to lament the fact that you can’t draft a capable friend to help you on your quest. The absence of this feature is quite vexing indeed.

The title’s main downfall is the fact that every now and then an event will occur that forces you to take advantage of your full team and use each of their attributes in order to tackle an obstacle or boss... but these sections have been made far too laborious and take what seems like an age to complete.
