An excellent review indeed... Thank God Atlus is going to publish this game for a North American release. Lets just hope that they explain and tweak the online function of the game... Somehow, knowing that most people don't know/care about this game in the present time makes me want it more, its just a sleeper hit that looks AWESOME!!

A very insightful review, I really enjoyed reading it as you're a very good writer as well as a good eye for things to look for in potential good games. Even before reading this I was pretty sure I wanted to get the game, now I definitely have to get it and I'm going to import it ASAP. Thank you!!

@ALEXTRON - Alextron, I found the original two Shin Megami Tensei titles to be much more difficult than this, but Demon's Souls is definitely more difficult than SMT3.

is this as brutally challenging as Nocturne or earlier Shin Megami? Phil since I saw this I must borrow it or ask if I can borrow money from you so I can get it!

Just finished my first run of the game clocked in at 69 hours. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years. There is one boss battle that impressed me so much, for those that have played the dragon in the dungeon was absolutely amazing looking especially in high def. Truly one of the most amazing looking bosses I've seen in a long time in a game multi screens high and just fu#$ing awesome!!! Like the reviewer said, the game is very VERY difficult but in the same sense very rewarding to those that perservere, there's nothing like discovering a new area and the treasure that awaits you. A must purchase RPG and like he says one of the best if not THE best RPG on the PS3 right now. Bravo to From Software, hopefully we will see a sequal as this game has sold very well from what I've read.

If I get any cash back from my taxes, I'll definitely be shelling out for this.

@Shaun Mcllroy... MUCH more difficult than Ghouls n Ghosts. GnG punishes you for being impatient and just exercising poor timing in general. Demon's Souls does so similarly but is iced with the fact that you CAN progress further into the world...but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. Venturing too far outside of your comfort level means you'll be fighting adversaries you shouldn't be, getting items you WANT to use but CAN'T due to your early level stat rise (or the lack thereof), and fighting bosses that you really aren't equipped to handle. It's fun though, the punishment is a challenge that puts a smile on the ardent gamers face!

ha!! nice review, might have to take a future look at this title. Saying that Ghouls and Ghosts is a good indicator of difficulty so is it comparable? Either way nice work dude :)
