Play Magazine - 10

If ever there was a pure gamer's game, Darksiders is it.

IGN AU - 9

A great action RPG. Solid, ever-evolving combat meets solid, ever-evolving puzzles in some really evocative environments. There are a few clumsy or lacklustre moments – the flying sequence is dull, for instance, and this isn't in any way a revolutionary game, but it is good fun and it is well-designed.

IGN UK - 8.9

It's bold and recklessly inventive in ways that games rarely are these days, and virtually ever[y] aspect of Darksiders shines with quality, making for an experience that, while not exactly original, still feels fresh, satisfying and, above all else, enjoyable.

Game Informer - 8.5

Even without a clear narrative purpose, Darksiders never wavers from being an enjoyable adventure. I had a blast playing it, and strangely enough, the obvious nods to other games added to the fun. Despite a lame last boss fight, the setup planted for the sequel has me counting the days until it arrives.

The problem? It's coming out the same week as Bayonetta, which will be a tough competition. Still, looks like this is another action/adventure game that maybe worth cheking out!

Though it should be noted Play Magazine gives every other game that gets released a ten. Literally.thunderf00t

I love Play magazine because they actually have their $#!* together and they're not all uptight and looking for the smallest details that ruin games in the eyes of other reviewers. They just enjoy the games for what they are.

Anyway, I love MAD's earlier comic book work, so I have been looking forward to this game for a long time. A lot of the art design in this game reminds me of his work on Battle Chasers.

I may be picking up Darksiders over Bayonetta. I'm a sucker for things like this as far as the atmosphere is concerned.

Darksiders is supposed to be Zelda-ish, which is enough to get me interested in the game.

Honestly, I think Darksiders looks better than Bayonetta personally *puts up flame shield*.

But even so I have no plans to buy either game :P

Great, now I know it apprantly has a lame last boss fight it's totally put me off playing the whole thing :/

Zelda elements aside, the game looks interesting. I hope there's a demo.

Sounds good. Especially if it has Zelda elements to it, then I'll probably rent it or get a demo of it sometime.

So you're going to ignore the whole game just because of one boss fight? :|

A lot of great games had terrible last boss fights.

There will be no Darksiders demo (though there might be DLC). I'm not a big Zelda fan, so I'm putting Darksiders on my list of 'games to maybe buy down the road during a slow month' unless word of mouth is very strong.

Soul Reaver is a lot like Zelda, that is how.

I have too much to play right now, I wont even be getting Bayonetta for a while so this game will have to wait, Zelda like and all.

love the game, hate the graphics, reminds me of prototype
