    I completely agree with Joshua L. Especially the fighting is extremely tedious and one-sided. The combo-system is ridiculously simple, and buying sword upgrades really doesn't improve on that, at least not as much as it should have. Quests plays like your run-of-the-mill grindfest adding nothing exciting to the overall gameplay of this very mediocre title. Played the 360-version. Some of the worst screen tearing I've ever seen...ever. Totally ruined the experience.… Expand

    A fully realized and superbly presented work of fiction that is captivating as it is explosive. All the pieces pulled from other puzzles, like it's god of war weapons leveling, were given far more relevance with a sense of investment unrivaled in the action genre. An IP truly worthy of our attention and our cash.

    This game just blew my mind. Yeah it is Zelda + Devil May Cry + X. I just love it love it love it! Finishing took me about 18 hours. In normal difficulty it is a pretty easy game if you have played Zelda before. I really recommend this game to everyone who likes some over the to "badassery", if you can´t stand this kind of feel to a game... this one probably isn´t for you. If this one had come out in 09 it would have been my game of the year even surpassing games like dragon age or Assassins Creed 2, but that is just me. It truly is an awesome experience.… Expand

    This game is so good, it shocked me. Outstanding art direction, brilliant level design, diverse gameplay styles, deep but easy to learn combat system, and mature violent post-apocalyptic setting make this a must play. It's definately a Zelda style rpg (not for kids though), but completely unique. It is true that the gameplay feels familiar, but it's the good kind of familiar, like taking your favorite sweater out of the dryer. If you grew up playing Zelda, but are now an adult, you must buy this. Everyone else will have a great ride too.… Expand

    It's annoying to me when game mechanics are lauded for being too similar to that of well known genre defining titles, surely there is room for innovation in the dying Hack and Slash genre. If a new IP comes along and unifies the head scratching, charming puzzle segments of Zelda with the brutal and clever combat of Devil may cry in such a way it praises those games, whilst improving upon them and making itself unique, you've got a perfect game on your hands. The characters are very chunky and likably venemous, very typical of Joe Mads designs. They put me in mind of his shortlived comics Battlechasers melded with Hellboy and a dash of Blizzards scrapped concept art, but it isn't overly stylised. It suits the world Vigil have created perfectly and I think they should be proud of what they achieved. The story is good enough not to fall into cliché territory but I feel the Heaven VS Hell plot has reared it's head a few too many times this month with Bayonetta, and with Dantes Inferno a month away from THAT... Darksiders I feel is a well made adventure with a good story, puzzles and combat that are both immensely satisyfing with a great cast of characters, boasting the vocal talent to back them up. It's just a joy to play, and the homages to other games never outstay their welcome, instead it props the experience firmly on it's shoulders and rises above the rest, 9/10!… Expand

    My score of 10, doesn't represent my thoughts that the game is flawless. What it represents, is my feelings of the value of the overall experience of playing the game, which for me, was a 10. I personally had a blast being an Action Hero that can brawl fluidly with the best of them, and being able to do it in a compelling adventure, was for me one of the best times I've had with a single player game in many years. Can't wait to see what Vigil does next!… Expand

    Darksiders has great gameplay, sound, voice-acting, and graphics (minus the much-publicized 360 version glitches). If you are tired of the short, brown romps passing for action adventure games these days, Darksiders is for you. This game has been treated unfairly by some jaded reviewers for borrowing from Zelda and God of War, and for--gasp!--being colorful. I do not understand why these reviewers fail to concede the fact that offering the market an adult Zelda-style adventure with mature themes and action is a great idea. Sure, the gameplay mechanics are familiar, but for those of us (re: most hardcore gamers) who have happily played endless sequels over the years, we must admit that we appreciate familiar, proven mechanics. And since when did it become a negative to have color? Is there a rule that every "mature" game has to be sepia-toned? Ignore the protests of the Zelda and GOW fanboys who feel some unwritten rule against inspiration has been violated. Darksiders is a long, engaging, welcome addition to the action adventure genre--a genre increasingly moving away from exploring and puzzle-solving toward 6-hour button-mashing routines. My only hangup is the 360 graphics glitches, which prevented a 10. Do yourself a favor and pick up this game; it will remind you why you started playing in the first place--fun.… Expand

    The game looks alright (though definitely not top notch), plays alright, but fails to get it's own personality. Darksiders basically takes too much from other games (Zelda, Devil May Cry, God of War & Metroid in particular) and through this fails in originality. If you've played any lof those games, you'll soon get a "been there, done that"-feeling which will stay with you through the entire game. A nice effort though, but bugs (screen-tearing, jagged edges on models) and a lack of creativity hold the game back.… Expand

    Though there are a few poor design choices (like items remaining used if you die and reload the last checkpoint), Darksiders is a must buy for any Xbox owning fans of Legend of Zelda and Ninja Gaiden 2. It is one of the few 'strategic' button mashers out there that requires players to actually use the block button and their heads before mindlessly mashing the 'X' button. Only real cons are some of the voice acting, specifically War's, and a few annoying things like the occasional poorly placed checkpoint. Still a must buy in a month that will no doubt be filled with them.… Expand

    It may borrow heftily from other hack n' slash games, but that doesn't mean I didn't have a hell of a time with Darksiders. Combat is frequently fun and frantic, the monster designs are original, and the puzzles are nothing short of brilliant. Overall, a fun way to spend the weekend.

    Beautiful, gory, massive and thoroughly entertaining is what comes to mind about this game that has quickly hacked, slashed, and shot it's way to my top 5 games of the past 12 months. War is one of the four horsemen, responsible for enforcing a peace treaty between heaven hell. Blamed for triggering the apocalypse on earth early, War sits wrongly accused in front of the council before being stripped of his powers and setting out on a journy to solve the mystery and punish those responsible for his framing. Though gameplay may have hints of games such as Zelda and God of War, it never goes to the extent of completely ripping them off. Instead it embraces tried and true gameplay with fresh ideas to become a monster of it's own. The combat is face paced, beautifulyl staged and downright fun. The amount of customization and combos is really beyond other games of this type. Weapons level up as you use them and one weapon enhancement can be added to each. These enhancements play a big role in combat and can be mixed and matched to your liking. War's primary weapon is the Chaoseater, a giant sword that decimates anyone who crosses its path. Over time you will aquire weapons like the scythe a weapon that's strengths are distance melee and dispatching groups of enemies, and the tremor gaunlet a powerful and massive glove that when charged smashes the ground and creates a visually pleasing smash. Along with your primary and secondary weapons War can have one gear item equipped as well which is mapped to the right trigger. Though very useful(and completely necassary) for solving puzzles, these gear items also add a new dynamic to the combat. They are dulled out at just the right times in the story and become an integral role to combat and puzzles alike. The crossblade is a 4 sided thrown item that can be chained together to slice up multiple enemies, while mercy is War's trusty pistol that can be used to keep enemies and the air and chain together devestating combos. War also gains passive abilities. As you earn them they are always with War throughout the game, and there is no need to equip them. My favorite has you holding A down to have War sprout massive beautiful wings that allow him to glide to otherwise unreachable areas. I mean it when I use the term massive. They take up length wise my entire 46" sony bravia xbr and even a few feet of each side is off screen. Another part of combat consists of War's wrath abilities which include blade geyser, a movie that summons blades all around War and damages any enemies in the vicinity. wrath ablilities, weapons, consumables and different moves can be bought throughout the game from vulgrid, a nasty demon who honestly creeps me out a bit.Also, Vulgrim can be used about a quarter through the game to travel tunnels and quickly transport to new areas and back and forth. This is essential as the game really is pretty big. The puzzles are prefect when it comes to my taste in games. Some games get to serious and make the puzzles brain smacking hard, while others make them seem more like childsplay than a challenge. Darksiders fits comfortably between the two, being hard enough to satisfy but not so hard you'll plant your controller through your flat screen. The characters in the game and the world itself look absolutely stunning in HD. It's quite obvious that Joe Mad(an extreme talent) was involved deeply with the creative design as the characters are bulky and satifying. The world itself is nicely tectured and you may find yourself exploring just to see all of the amazing details the design team packed into this masterpeice. The enemies and bosses are astounding,, and War is one of my favorite characters in a video games of all time. To sum it up, Darksiders is a sleeper hit in the making. With it's fast paced in your face combat, and it's, masterfully staged puzzles and exploration, Vigil game's Darksiders is everything people have been waiting for in a next-gen game. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up, it's time for me to get back to slaying some demons!… Expand

    I was surprisingly pleased with my purchase of Darksiders, despite it borrowing the most successful elements of some other games (Zelda especially), Darksiders offers the opportunity to play a game in a huge open world, with a smooth and rewarding combat system (albeit even with the limited amount of execution animations) and amazing monster and character designs.

    absolutely amazing game. sure it dosnt bring anything new to the table of games. but this is the closest we are ever going to get to a (good) zelda game on 360 (until there is a bgae sequel) and plus the zeldaish gameplay mixed with god of war combat is great i would actually like to see combat like this is a new zelda game. and yeah the combat is a little repetitive and the graphics in gameplay really look like a 360 launch title (other the fmv cutscenes which are beautiful) but honestly i love this game. i would rent it first to see if you would like it but i bought launch day and love this game SO MUCH. the only reasons for not getting a perfect 10 is just the small amount of repetitiveness and the sub par graphics. also the screen tearing on the 360 version is noticeable but not game ruining and still perfectly playable and enjoyable and not at all distracting from the game imo… Expand

    This game does indeed steal ideas from many previous titles. Legend of Zelda Orcania of time is the most noticeable, crossed with the Legacy of Kane seriies, Batman Arkham Asylum, and others. The fact that it blends all these ideas brilliantly is pretty amazing, although if you want it to at excell in any one area, it will not. It is an addictive title, with top notch voice acting, great environments, and will last well over 15 hours. It is let down a bit by the terrible screen tearing that the Xbox 360 version suffers from.… Expand

    I'm having a difficult time seeing this game as anything but mediocre. I played it for three hours straight and found nothing but weak versions of Zelda's dungeons, and repetitive combat that didn't provide any true measure of satisfaction. Everyone already knows where they got there designs from, I don't see why this game is getting such good scores. Oh and before I forget, I don't like screen tears in my games. I'm not trying to say the game is bad or not worth playing ever, but this is definitely no blockbuster title. It just lacks originality and fun to the level I expect for sixty dollars… Expand

    I began playing with pretty bad motivation. I prejudiced this is going to be total crap. After going Darksiders through, gotta admit I was wrong. Especially liked the last quarter of the game. Combat itself is quite simple, but overall it worked least for me. Some puzzles made me pull my hair off, they had quite logical solutions, but couldn't get some of them. Some have referred this to Zelda. Well I'm not big fan of 'em. But Overall this was a positive surprise. Sequel seems to be coming, probably going to least try that too. Have seen better ones, but worse too.… Expand

    I didn't know what to expect when picking up Darksiders, I'd heard things such as "it's Devil May Cry meets Zelda" and after extensive hours of playing that statement is definitely true, however that doesn't make the game unoriginal or stale at all. In fact it combines everything so well that the game feels like a unique experience despite the fact that it barely does anything new. The one-button combat system can be a little frustrating for someone like me where it takes a while to get the rhythm down for different attack moves but once you nail it the combat feels incredibly satisfying. The puzzles aren't too difficult but they do engage you enough so that you actually have to apply some thought which is something that seems to be lacking from most games these days. All in all this is easily one of the best games I've picked up in a while and I'd seriously recommend buying it.… Expand

    I picked it up through Games On Demand to have something to play casually before Dragon Age II, and was really surprised. I have to admit, I expected something God of War-esque, but instead found myself with something more akin to a dark Zelda. The combat is a bit simple, but makes up for it with the sheer number of implements with which you can inflict pain on your foes and scale the environment. The world is very refreshing as well. Many of the other mythologies have been done to death, and getting to romp around inside one of the more lavish and "colorful" Christian mythological tales is a blast. The art direction is top notch as well. Every area is a feast for the eyes, aside from a few dull dungeon crawls. You also get your money's worth. I missed a few nooks and crannies but still clocked in at a respectable 17 hours. Also worth noting is the great voice acting, memorable characters, and excellent sequel-hinting ending. There are a few negatives, however. The game drags on a bit at the end, sending you through the same environments a couple more times on artifact-hunts, but it does give players a chance to find a few more hidden secrets with their new tools. Also, I found the puzzles and combat quite easy, with rare and annoying spikes in difficulty at 2 or 3 points in the game. The camera is also a bit picky. It usually stays at just the right angle, and the cinematic lock-on camera is fantastic, but you'll still find yourself missing the occasional jump or ledge when the camera randomly pivots behind a rock or into a wall. Also, don't even bother with the block and counter-attack moves. All-in-all, it's a very unique game that's worth a purchase or extended-rental. Check it out!… Expand

    I only picked up this game due to a recommendation of my friend. It seemed interesting enough, and I could tell it was trying to be like God of War or Zelda. But the key word in that statement is trying. It isn't necessarily a bad game, it just isn't as good as what it tries to be. The story is cool enough. Horserider of the Apocalypse has to fight off enemies. The character designs are awesome, but the graphics were a bit too cartoony for a game like this. That doesn't mean the graphics were bad... just not great. The combat is a bit too mindless, but I will admit that the enjoyment of combat was better the farther I played. The puzzles are Zelda like and fun, but I have seen better puzzle designs. Ultimately the reason the game didn't score higher, was the game got repetitive after a while to me and just lost its enjoyment. The game is relatively long and is enjoyable, but it just wasn't as fun as I had hoped it to be.… Expand

    This is the best Zelda game I have played in years, as it takes the gameplay that made titles such as Ocarina of Time so great and throws it into a new environment of a violent, war-torn apocalypse of present. The mechanics feel familiar but also refined, due to the more grim atmosphere and vocal characters. A great spin on one of gamings favourite franchises.

    A decent Zelda/GOW mashup, with some good puzzles and satisfying combat. There are many areas to get stuck in though, way more so than in Zelda, and it gets formulaic at times. Still, if you ever dreamed of an M-rated zelda, your dreams have come true.

    Fanboys with the progressive mindset will hate on this game (many, seemingly, without even having played it) just because it doesn't really bring anything revolutionary/new to gamers. And now the big debate seems to surround the comments originally made by a reviewer for IGN, who stated that it's a hybrid of God of War and Zelda. Well here's the deal, folks: this game is Zelda meets Dante's Inferno (or God of War, although I've only played the first installment). Yes, it doesn't bring anything new, but it's classic action-adventure fun. Enjoyed this more than Devil May Cry 4 or Bayonetta, which also seem to draw comparisons to Darksiders, but I found those 2 games to be extremely difficult and not as enjoyable. Yes, there are times where there is screen-tearing but I don't notice it because I don't seek it out to point to as a fault. Any jaggies or visual defects are minor and should, by no means, "ruin your experience" (as one reviewer put it). Play on Apocalyptic mode the first playthrough, IMO, because Easy and Normal are *too* easy. Verdict: If you've read "God of War meets Zelda" and that idea excites you, then play Darksiders. The IGN writer got that comparison spot on, and now that the game is available for $20 brand new, you'll surely find Darksiders to be one of your best value-to-fun ratio purchases that you've had for your Xbox 360.… Expand

    Darksiders is great. There is kind of an open-world (pretty small compared to sandbox games, but big enough for this one) that you can explore while doing the main story, and as you proceed you will find collectibles that you will be able to get only when you unlock a special kind of gear. The collectibles you will have to get are very worthy, as they help increasing your maximum life, wrath (so you can use special abilities), pieces of Abyssal Armor (if you get all the pieces you will unlock the armor and you can import it for later playthroughs) and artifacts that you can switch for souls (which you also find in chests and killing enemies) and is the game's currency so you can buy upgrades and others with Vulgrim, a kind of demon (?) that is in most of the game's locations. Gears are awesome, there's from a crossblade which you can lock on to enemies to a kind of portal gun to solve puzzles, about 6 different gears. There are a primary weapon, the Chaoseater Blade, and two secondary, the Scythe and the Tremor Gauntlets, and plenty of combos for you to do with them (so the combat is not repetitive as many say), and more that you can buy with Vulgrim. Story is not perfect, but still great, and the main missions take you about 15 hours to do. Graphics are amazing, there is screen tearing but it doesn't bother you much, and the locals are just beautiful, from open places with waterfalls and grass to caves with big spiders. You will find a lot to unlock, the collectibles and some challenging achievements. This game is not perfect (as none is), and may borrow elements from other games, but is incredibly fun and you will find yourself coming back for more. An underrated title and a must buy for every hack and slash fan.… Expand

    I loved it! Some people bash it because it feels like a Zelda game but for the grown ups. Which is fine with me because I haven't liked any zelda game since a link to the past, to childish I guess. Good story, again I loved it, and am awaiting the Sequel.

    The combat is boring, repetitive, and lacks originality. The character models look good but the environments look poor at times. Uneven difficulty as well. I just didnt like this game.

    Darksiders brings you everything you expect. A beautiful post apocalyptic world combined with excellent audio and a real cool gameplay, deserves nothing less than a high score.

    Darksiders looks like the result of a head-on collision between the Zelda and God of War-franchise. But instead of a big mess, both fuse together to form a hybrid with the best elements of both, combined with a great story. The game won't win any awards for originality, but thanks to its long playtime, strong puzzles and great alteration between elements and scenery we can only conclude that Darksiders is already one of the first great games of 2010.

    At its best, Darksiders plays like an interactive compilation of this console generation's most interesting game mechanics. At its worst, it's like sitting through a mediocre cover band as they fumble their way through your favorite tunes.
