    You may have heard that this game is hard. Well it is by today's standards but if like me you are an experienced / older games player than you will get a warm glow as you recall how games used to be as you play through Demons Souls. Pac-man, Manic Miner, Frogger, You died you get sent to the start. You die X times its game over! It was a real kick in the teeth but it made the fact that when you got further than you had been before, your nerves were on edge and each step forward had to be judged and thought through. Its similar with Demons Soul's, some may say its more forgiving but, again, by today's die and re spawn with no consequences game play standards it is definitely a hard game. Who wants to quickly run through a game? Who wants to burn through the experience with out really learning about the levels or enemies? This game makes you think, strategise and learn how to play it properly. Without doing this and respecting the game as you go along you will fall flat on your face time and time again. The mechanics behind the game play are perfect. Every death, and you will die is because of some ill judged action you made. Not the games fault, your fault, but you learn and think 'next time'. Patience and grinding are your friends here, but the worlds are so rich and varied it barely gets old. I recommend this game wholeheartedly but remember this is old school difficulty setting stuck on 'punish'!
