Ruined by camera and terrible controls

What moron had the stupid idea of introducing shifting camera angles like in the original Alone in the Dark games into a Diabloesque Hack & Slash??? What could have been a fun game with really good characters is let down by terrible camera angles and controls where half the time you can't see where you're running to because the camera decides to show your character ffrom the front. How stupid is that??? Need to shoot down the chains to lower a bridge? Well my character decides to shoot in the opposite direction instead. Genius! Deinstalled after 20 minutes.

Good fun

It shows its age. The textures are muddy when seen close up. There's some clipping. Cutscenes don't look so good. The writing is R.A. Salvatore at his cliche'd worst, telegraphing hackneyed lines left and right. That being said, this game is a lot of fun. Once you've figured out the controller (keyboard and mouse looks like it's murder), you're in for a treat in a series of action-packed and dynamic set-pieces across Faerûn. The soundtrack is powerful and pulse-pounding, and the levels mix things up often enough so that it never becomes repetitive. All in all, a sum of competent parts with some scuff marks and creaky parts, which will keep you entertained for a hardcore evening or a couple of days.

Somewhere in the middle

This game reminds me of previous titles of developers - The Lord Of The Rings games. Demon Stone shares many similarities. You go through levels with three characters and you can choose which one you want to control. If you die, you start from nearest checkpoint. You can save only after finishing the level. You also buy new equipment and new skills (nothing crazy, mostly stronger version of already known attacks, new moves are scarce). However, instead of the LOTR settings and characters you get three archetypes - warrior, mage and rogue - on the pretty basic quest of slashing enemies and stopping the main bad guys. Another feature that is missing is coop. Why they didn't include coop is a mystery to me. To have an option for a friend to take control of another character and help you would be a welcome addition. And it would perhaps decrease some of the frustration. This is the PC port of originally console game. It shows especially when you try to play the game with mouse and keyboard. It's not an enjoyable experience. Another problem is camera. The camera doesn't point in direction your character faces, it shows you view from side. Sometimes it's hard to see the enemies. And good luck when you're surrounded by large group of foes who attack from every side. It definitely adds to frustration. The game can be sometimes really tough and not for the right reason. Like when you need to take down ranged enemies with your mage, but your attacks are always interrupted because none of the companions will come to help you with melee fighters. I would be lying if I said I didn't have any fun with the game. There are boss battles with a dragon and a giant spider and others. For short sections you take control of a golem or a badass elf fighter with two swords. It's satisfying to clear large amount of enemies with upgraded special moves. It's not a perfect game. It has many flaws and some parts can be pretty frustrating. It doesn't mean it can't offer some satisfaction.

Past me is cheering their head off

This was a great recommendation made by a friend. I finally got around to playing it and am really impressed. Being able to switch at will between your party members and learning their skills as well as tactically assessing the situation makes for a brawler with some brain. I thoroughly recommend this title, the price is fair, and with a controller you're gonna have a good time. Big kudos to Patrick Stewart.

Demon Stone

Basically this is The Lost Vikings with a DND Slant. Each of the Three Characters you get have a Different Skill. You need to continually swap between characters to perform certain tasks. Just Like the Lost Vikings. This is an Action Game all the way. I have never tried it, but I believe you can Play Multi Player with other People to control the other 2 characters. I never Play on Line, so I'm not sure. This was originally release on the PS2, XBox and the PC. The Consoleyness shines through.
