Games Domain has reviewed Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, which was released yesterday. The reviewer is mostly impressed by the graphics and sound in the game, and gives it a fair overall score of 7 out of a possible 10. Here's an excerpt:
The side benefit to fighting well is that gold and experience gained in battle can be traded for skill and equipment upgrades. Each character has their own menu of items and skills, some of which become available not only at a certain price point, but at a certain level. Upgrading abilities is crucial, and the game offers an auto-buy feature for those averse to shopping. But the upgrades never give a satisfying sense of having learned new tricks, which dampens the sense of achievement.
Not very D&D-ish, but probably fair enough for a console game. You'll find the whole review here (http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/ps2/forgotten_realms_demon_stone/review/43686).
