Not exactly original, but still fun.
This game is pretty linear and probably about 15 hours. You play as War, one the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse who is out for redemption. Call the gameplay a ripoff of God of War, but it's still fun. Hacking and slashing your way through hoards of enemies is awesome. There are also puzzle elements thrown in the mix that I didn't care for. I like puzzles, I just didn't think these were very good, but the combat makes up for it. The story is much better than most games. There are some RPG elements, but I wouldn't call it a pure RPG. There's a surprising amount of platforming as well. The only thing that aggravated me was at the end before you fight the final boss you have to go back to each level and retrieve a bunch of junk. It's an obvious attempt to pad the length. After you finish the main story you'll still have some items to collect and stuff, but I didn't. I thought the game was very fun and satisfying but I don't see myself playing through it again soon (I'm that way with most games though). I played on PS3 but it's also available on Xbox 360 and PC.

GOOD START OF A SERIES
THIS GAME MAY HAVE ELEMENTS OF OTHER GAMES BUT IT IS A GOOD TITLE IN ITS OWN RIGHT. THIS GAME ALSO HAS A GREAT BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE. ITS NOT A CHRISTIAN GAME BUT IT COULD MAKE YOU WONDER

This Game is a BEAST!!!
The game starts out a little slow, go's into the story, teaches you how to fight, etc... By the 2-3 hour I was hooked and was lost into the game. It's a very entertaining and exciting game. It's got a good balance of fighting, role playing, story, and a little puzzle gameplay, (not too hard of puzzle's where you get fustrated and want to quit). I've played alot of game's in my life time and I have to say this game is got to be in my top 3. For $20 buck's, it's the best kept secret of the older game's if you like role playing, fighting type game's.

it wasnt very good
there was a whole bunch of stuff that took you hours to find, the combat parts were too short even though the combat is pretty much why you would get the game, but you would barely get any of it unless its a boss, it was mostly just stuff that takes you hours to figure out. it would be a great game if it had more combat and less puzzles, or areas that take you hours. if you like games like legend of zelda then this would be good for you

The Apocalypse Never Looked So Good
Fighting as one of the Four Horseman, War, who has been framed for starting the apocalypse and killing off the entire human race. To clear your name, you will have to cooperate and deal with demons who you would otherwise be decapitating.
Using your sword and best friend at the moment, Chaoseater, you fight through an army's worth of demons and angels, in God of War-like gameplay, to get what you need. Acquiring different weapons, upgrades, items and even turning into a giant magma-like monster, you must solve puzzles spread all over the world to advance into areas otherwise inaccessible, taking down giant demons who, to anyone else, would be an actual threat.
This is a great game, with many interesting characters and a great story that'll have you going 'what do I get to kill next?'

Can't wait for number 2
Simply put, if you don't like a semi puzzle games like Zelda or uncharted don't buy this game. If you don't like hack in slash games like God of War or Dante's Inferno, then don't get this game. I personally love all of those four games so of course i bought this and made it my favorite game. outstanding, just can't wait for number 2.

Darksiders,GOW,TLoZ
Darksiders have a lot of things that we can see in the games mencionated above. Darksiders have combat style like GOW and TLoZ combined. The Dungeon and puzzle are like TLoZ style. The thing is that for me is not a bad thing cause GOW and TLoZ are two of the BEST GAMES ever created, so Darksiders just took the best form the best games and put together in this game. I personally recomend this to anyone that have play TLoZ or GOW or boths cause is a good game. Boss figths are just awesome. My favorite boss figth was The Destructor and Straga. Well I liked almost every boss figths but my favorite was that two. If you are planing on buy this game. I tell you that is a good game but is not that EASY and that I liked cause I like games that CHALLENGE ME.

Fun For Everyone
I saw this game at GameStop and said to myself, is it worth it?...... YESS, buy this game, it's fun, and it's looong. It keeps you engaged and there are tons of things to collec after your done with the game itself. Yes it does copy elements from GoW, and Legend of Zelda, but it copies all the great things about those games, and everyone loves them, and if you love those games, you will love this one, Its set in the apocalypse, but the area has so much color and life, and a comic book style graphics feel, it's fantastic, Darsiders is a beautiful game that can.

Great game!
The game overall was great. I really enjoyed the Zelda, God of War style gameplay. I really have nothing bad to say about the game except for the graphics, every once in awhile there would be a little lag, but nothing you could really notice. I suggest getting this game if you like button smasher/puzzle games.

Just Awesome
I picked this game up with no background of it, but i am very pleased that i have bought it. this game brings you back to the zelda games with the puzzles and weapons but in a more adult way. this is in no way a kids game. this is what i have wanted from zelda since the begining. the puzzles are difficult yet the story is dark and guesome. this is one of my favorites on the ps3 just makes me want to keep playing.
