The first is at IGN:
At first glance, Demon's Souls appears to be a somewhat stiff RPG, but as soon as combat starts, you'll be rolling around and attacking in high-action style. I was actually quite impressed with the feeling of the combat, though I only just scratched the surface of the experience. Seeing as how the game is designed to last between 80 and 100 hours, I'd say a 20 minute play session doesn't do it much justice...
The second is at Gamervision:
The combat appears, from what I saw, to be very hack and slash. According to Atlus, Demon's Souls will feature both cooperative play and PVP. Up to three players can play cooperatively, which is certainly a unique feature for a game in this genre. I will have to get my hands on it before I make any decisions, but so far this game has definitely piqued my interest. It just seems like a very unusual and entertaining experience.
And the third is at RPGamer:
Our sample hero had both melee and ranged weapons, and used them both proficiently, taking down enemies with only a few blows; presumably, the game gets harder as the player progresses. It has an online-esque portion where players can see ghosts of others in the world when they are battling at the same locations. In addition, there's an elaborate "notes" system for players to leave each other game hints and tips. We ran across one that said "Look out!" and sure enough, a giant boulder was rolling towards us RUN! We ducked around a corner, with a sigh of relief. We would have died had that note not been there, so as thanks to whoever wrote it we gave it a vote up. Notes with more up votes will come frequently, as players have found this information helpful.
