That's surprising. FWIW I've finished the whole thing. There were some tough parts, but overall I don't think it's *that* difficult.Moot_Geeza wrote:I just read that one, the reviewer hasn't beaten the second boss after 20hrs and describes 'Demon's Soul' as a cakewalk in comparison.

Please do. Play special attention to the start menu. Does it say Press X? Press Any Key? How loud are the noises? Is it Outrun?
Cover all the important bases.

15 minute install from disc. Straight after the game launched it started downloading a patch.
This may concern you, but there doesn't appear to be a menu at first boot - goes straight into the game.
Noises seems to reflect the speakers.
It is not Outrun.

Difficulty and repetition will be an issue for some, but it does so much so well and I found the challenge absolutely in tune with what it's trying to do. It'll be an easy 9 from me, probably just a whisker off a 10.
