Demon Stone (PS2) ref map210

• Platform:   PlayStation2
• Media: Video Game

The reason I bought this game is because I am a dungeons and dragons fan, and am hooked on any RPG.
You don't need any knowledge or experience of Dungeons and Dragons in order to enjoy this game, in fact in some parts of the game its better if you don't!
The basic format of the game is similar to the Lord of the Rings games from EA, so it is more hack'n slash than RPG. This makes it more exciting! The graphics are superb, and the moves that you can do are far better than those in the Lord of the Rings series eg. as the rogue you can swing round an enemey's neck with your two daggers to kill him.
The storyline by R.A. Salvatore is very good, and you get to really feel for the characters as they have to journey through Faerun.
The story of Demon Stone revolves around the adventuring party's unwitting intrusion into an age-old conflict between two warring demonic armies; one led by a Githyanki Princess and, the other, a Slaad Lord. After inadvertently releasing both demons back upon the world after eons of imprisonment, it becomes the adventurer's quest to right their wrong and restore order to the world of Faerun.
All in all this is a very good game and recommended for all ages, especially for the kids - it will keep them busy for days!
