Average User Score: 9.0

User Score 9

I am not really a fan of batman or any of the DC characters (though smallville is a guilty pleasure) but this game changed my opinion of the caped crusader almost entirely.

Combat is enjoyable and can be varied once you learn your way around the controls and visually the game looks stunning. If Darksiders concentrated on the parts where it really did well in (story and combat especially) I would of rated it higher but the addition of elements that detracted me away from those areas really let this game down.… Expand
