In total, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone doesn't add up to a lot of innovation. It's considerably derivative and it doesn't bother with experimental gameplay or ideas. This version also doesn't offer any new incentive beyond what was present in the PS2 iteration, so players already familiar with the title are advised to avoid further trips to the well. However, as stated above, it is a welcome refinement to the hack-and-slash formula and action fans looking for a new ride won't be disappointed. It can be visceral and exciting and it does a good job of trumping its own redundancy by offering extensive skill trees for character advancement and continuously introducing new areas and adversaries. Considering its length, it may be better suited for a rental, but that is not a slight against its quality. It is a solid game that also has the ill fortune of belonging to a genre without much aspiration.
