Looking for info on Demon Stone

I have noticed that there is no forum for Demon Stone.(or I can't find it) Is it because the game sucks, or is it even an rpg. I have been thinking about buying it, so if anyone out there could give me a heads up it would be much appreciated. By the way I'm talking about the PC version.

Demon Stone is very much like the Lord of the Rings - Return of the King game. It's an ok action romp thru various levels, but I HAVE to warn you that mission 7 and the final stage are purposely difficult to pass.

You control three different characters consisting of a fighter, mage, or thief. All have nifty abilities, though most will prefer using the fighter the most unless forced to play the other characters. The mage gets really powerful towards the end game, so he's a good alternate character.

P.S. - As far as the forums go, I understand the reasons behind not having a forum for every game. There was a Sacred forum for a while before it was removed. It was not very active, but I contributed just like in other game forums where I'm familiar with the game.

Our general RPG, Action RPG, MMORPG, and RPG Hybrid Discussion forums are used for games that don't have quite enough interest to warrant their own forum. Demon Stone is such a game.

Try searching for your reviews and I think you'll find the opinions pretty unanimous. Demon Stone is a good (great imho) game.

Positive
Excellent story/characters
Fast paced action
Great music/atmosphere

Negative
It looks a lot like TTT and TROTK. Might not be a bad thing, but it's not "original"
Very short game

All in all I do recommend this one to all my friends. imho Demon Stone doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. And what it does, it does well xD

Thanks all. I found an interview with R.A. Salvatore in one of these forums, that alone sold me.

If you need advice or help on the missions, don't be afraid to ask. There are a few favorite levels in the game despite its challenges for me

P.S. - There are minor spoiler comments below. Just highlight the text.

If I recall correctly, R.A. Salvatore contributes to the Drizz't Do'Urden part of the story. There's good decent voice acting with Patrick Stewart and Michael Clark Duncan playing important roles. I'm sure you'll come away with a favorite character and mission yourself.

Thanks Dave. I'm gonna buy it on ebay, so it will be awhile before I get it, but I'm sure I'll have questions.

The music's not too shabby either. Too bad the biggest downside to the game is that it's quite SHORT. I am looking forward to further posts from you concerning this title.

I"ll keep in touch. I have been catching up with all these D&D based games since I bought a PC, so I'm always playing one, so I'm a regular on this site now.
