Pixelverdict.com heeft vandaag een (zeer lovende)
review van DS gepubliceerd. Ik citeer:
"As of this writing, Demon’s Souls has no announced North American release date, and beyond that, there are unfounded rumblings that the game may never come to our shores. Sony hasn’t said anything, and Ubisoft, who handles From Software’s North American product for the most part, have said even less. It’s as though the game doesn’t exist outside of Asian territories. It’s also probably the most popular import to come along since Pokemon Green, and the Asian version is available through many popular import sites, though these days it’s regularly on back order."
Het oordeel over Demon's Souls:
"Demon’s Souls is right up there with the deepest computer Role-players from days long gone, and easily eclipses any other console offering in the depth department (save maybe Oblivion). This depth comes at a price, as it makes the game nigh impenetrable for people not used to this degree of detail and effort. If you’re an old school table-top dice roller, or have a history with stuff like the Elder Scrolls and Might & Magic series’, you’ll have no trouble adjusting. If you’re not used to a game that doesn’t do any kind of hand-holding, and delivers swift, harsh punishment to the careless, maybe Demon’s Souls isn’t for you.
On the flipside, there hasn’t been a more in depth and rewarding experience this generation for people who are willing to spend the time with it. I’m willing to bet that come E3 in June, we’ll be seeing some sort of a release announcement for North America, whether or not there have been changes made to the game, particularly in the online component, will ultimately decide how people respond. As it stands, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend an import purchase to everyone, unless your tastes run similar to mine, in which case Demon’s Souls is very nearly a perfect gameyou’ll easily blow 45-50 hours on. Putting a score on it is a difficult prospect for me, in spite of the flaws apparent, and the difficulty, I don’t think I’ve had more fun with a game on the PS3."
