  • I honestly don't understand this guys complaints. The story was excellent. And what is this about complicated controls? The controls were perfect.

  • this seems way too repetitive and unsatisfying

  • btw any 1 reading this it dont tear on xbox

    review fail

  • i loved the puzzles on this game to also add u fucking bastard who ever speaking / the reviewer needs a good smack in the mouth , the puzzles on the throne was epic :) challenging and at the same time frustrating but non the less epic game cant wait for D2

  • balshit review ive played this like 14 times over and over and not once got bored off it 10/10 rate ign game spot reviewer < go fucking die you worthless peaces off shit this is prob one off the best games ever its not slow at its its so much fun any one who dont have this game must buy

    epic boss fights , epic fighting , the story is awesome

  • Actually, the controls are pretty obvious and easy once you get them. It takes a bit more practice than most games, but they're not at all unresponsive nor do they hinder the game.

  • Should I get this game?

  • @Maximonkey54 get this game pal its wicked - Darksiders = best game ever :) must buy 10/10

  • @Maximonkey54 yes, you wont regret it

  • what a pussy the reviewer is... "ooh the controls are too complicated!!"

  • So what if this game copied off of Zelda and God of War that shouldnt matter. This game still rocked and i will be gettin the 2nd one

  • Controls are actually quite easy, except for that horrible boomerang, way too many controls. Also when you are riding the angels bird, that also has horrible controls. The story was very well done.

  • thank god i got an ps3

  • The guy doesn't even show gameplay beyond the first few hours of playing, which is leading me to believe that he didn't actually play the game.

  • complex controls? that not what i have heard.+Bad story you say? learn to pay attention dickhead

  • great game worth a buy 

  • Summary: Ima QQ about this game but its still fun.

  • Hold on, can anyone tell me what screen tearing is? I've heard the term before but i dont noice anything and in some games which are supposed to have the problem i have never noticed it. Help.

  • I don;t understand the negativity around this review, I think it's one of the best action adventures this gen. A good alternative to Zelda for 360/PS3

  • Interesting, might pick this up... Must gone cheap by now :)

  • @voidheart777 Yes,it is only 15 Euro on PS store.

  • @LiangHuBBB

    downloading now :p

  • The voice acting is outstanding

    The plot is amazing! (Well, WTF are you talking about reviewer?)

    The gameplay is cool and not that difficult (I played this on PC)

    3:50 YEAH... blame the game for your insuffiency and stupidity to get that simple task... -_- God...

    for me DS is the game I was waiting for on PC, hell on earth, death and destruction at its best!.

  • is this game free roaming

  • Gamespot review are far better than IGNs, there fair and not biased. And btw good thing I have a ps3

  • so your saying he has too much stuff....and the controls are almost too complex...

    idk but to me those are good things

  • ahh shut up this game is awesome.

  • i love how he fails in purpose to do the boomerang move to justify his stupid opinion of difficult controls.. not your best review gamespot

  • @topografer He said the controls are complex, which they are.

  • How the flying fuck can you compare this to Zelda ? fucking ridiculous

  • @Nucleariasi

    If you ever played Zelda, you'll see that it has a lot of things in common, like the grappling hook, the boomerang like thing, horse riding, etc etc... while Zelda did not invent these things, I know, it's similar because Darksiders do it the same way as Zelda, and puzzles are similar... Darksiders copies a lot from other games, but it's a fantastic game anyway, and I can't wait for the sequel.

  • @Vigilante931 Zelda is a retro game...and this kind of things are bound to be made again since they are normal. Just because it has a grappling hook that means no one else can use it because "it's a ripoff" ? ...that's ridiculous and stupid and reviewers always seem to bitch about that.

  • @Nucleariasi

    Zelda is not a retro game, a new one was released last month, and every Zelda title adds something new.

    And I told you, it's not that Darksiders included it, it's how they included it, and how you use it. It's very Zelda like, you can clearly see that they got their inspiration from it.

  • @Vigilante931 I'm not saying that it's an older game, just the feel of it. And what else can you do with a grappling hook ?

  • @Nucleariasi Even the developers have been known to refer to it as zelda meets god of war. Unless you've never played a zelda game in your life I can't imagine how you don't see the startling similarities.

  • @gamegloss So just because someone invented the table that means that no one else can, because it's not "original".

  • When he says the controls are too complex he skips the tutorial straight away I mean how can he be so impatient and not have gone through any of the game. And also the xbox version is patched I have it and it's find and there is a quick change for your gear on your d-pad.

  • @MegaNinjaFTW Maybe he's used just to use 4 buttons throughout any game, let's alone combinations of buttons omg that's the end of the world :P. I thought the controls were excellent really.

  • This guy's a dick he played barely any of the game and he didn't even get ruin or most of the gear this guy's an ass.

  • wow, i can't remember the last time i heard someone say ps3 in its full name...

  • HIS VOICE IS INFURIATING FOR NO REASON!!!!!

  • controls that dosent work the way it should?! a porly fleshd out story!!!!!??? im just one minute in to this video and alredy is this guy pissing me off! the controls ar fine! i actuly enjoy the controls in this game. verry precise control with good camera angels

  • I LIKED the game but i thumbed down this video cuz of bad review

  • I got this game earlier today and I have a problem. When I run it all the videos in the beginning sometimes lag or shock and so does the background music. The voice however is normal. I didn't go past the videos yet cause it's 4:30 and I didnt want to miss storyline. Anyone else got this problem or knows how to fix it?

  • im only gonna get this because darksiders 2 looks amazing! hope its good.....

  • @majid123abc I think you will like darksiders also... this guy kind of failed epicly with this review (I don't think he made it past Tiamat, you only see clips from the prologue and the first chapter at the twilight cathedral) HAHAHA! so basically I'm saying he sucks, and for the puzzles... You don't even have to think about them until the Black Throne.

  • Too complex? Maybe they should have paid attention to the tutorial?

  • @1996MetallicA I hope they fired this reviewer, he obviously never played a video game before.

  • heaven has an ARMY!!!!

  • bad story....WTF?!?

    i don't he played the same game did...

  • i think they should rate all games a 10 out of 10. that way nobody gets butthurt like they were the ones who made the game, and also so they quit talking about call of duty and how they hate it

  • The story sucks!? WTF...to me this is 9.5/10

  • BAD STORY?!?!?!?!?!?

    They use actual Jewish and Catholic Apocripha characters along with a sprinkle of fairytale charm. I had absolutely no problem with controls, in fact, I found them refreshing. Having to remember just what you have equipt as well as the steps you take with the wide variety of tools make it incredable. And with the constant introduction to new equiptment and upgrades it never feels repeatative. I gave it easily a 9.5 if not higher. :D

  • Bad story?

    how about cock of doody then?

    HURR DURR WAR NEVER CHANGES.

    screw these game reviewers

    9.5 for this game , and fuck gamespot and ign

  • @FELIPEPKPK 9.5 damn fucking right!!!! Amen!

  • @FELIPEPKPK Pretty sure that's also fallout 3, hating on that to I see

  • How long is this game?

  • @TheCanucks67 my first play-through was 30 hours. It is a long game.

  • @TheCanucks67 This isn't a long game if you know what your doing, sometimes the map can be confusing, but if your not worried about armor, artifacts, souls, etc. Then you could beat it in about 15-20 hours.

  • @daberko120ch Oh, i was hoping to buy a long role playing game. I'll probably buy this when it's cheap, like under $10 used, because i know whats i beat it once, it's going to be a dust collector.

  • @TheCanucks67 Why would it be a dust collector? Do you usually do that with games? lol

  • @daberko120ch No, since Darksiders doesn't have online, I wouldn't play it after i beat it. It would probably lay on my stack of games, unless i get the urge to play it again.

  • @TheCanucks67 I see what you mean, you might get an urge to play it again though, it's quite epic.

  • @angadmishr sure? which dualshock? i have dualshock 2, with an usb adapter, but it is not working on windows 7 x64..

  • how is the pc version

  • @rushab101 it is totally the same, if you play it with an xbox controller

  • wow iu loveed this game but got up to straga and i got stuck on the puzzles :( the games asre pretty hard in this game espeacially when u get tto the portal part of the game

  • Did he just say the story was bad? Wow, did he even get past first boss? The plot is amazing!

  • 5$ on Onlive!

  • 3:54 lmao this guy is complaining about the controls and interface (which imo where fine) when he doesn't know to target the torch before the bombs durr, guess he needs to herp his way through the game in order to give it a shit review afterwords. Honestly guy stick to call of duty seems to be your level.

    In all seriousness this was one of the best games i have purchased for the PS3 got it for 17 bucks and i don't regret one bit of it, loved everything about it really fun.

  • @jstealth89 Same here. Not best game, but it's in the top 3. For me, Dark Souls is the best PS3 game, but this one is very good indeed. And the reviewer, maybe he tried the demo or something, I dunno, but he surely didn't put much time into it. Controls are excellent, I had no problem at all with the boomerang. And about switching items too much, djeez ... didn't want to make the comparison with Zelda, but .... happens there too :P.

  • I love the pc version and it was 5 bucks and I cant wait for Darksiders 2

  • BTW, this guy is a fanboy. He said the PS3 version suffers neither of the issues, yet someone has posted here saying he has terrible screen tearing with this game on his PS3. Nice try IGN!

  • @b00mYou You're dumb.

  • @sactokingwolverine2 i agree :P

  • @b00mYou stop being IGNorant!

  • @b00mYou lol fail

  • @b00mYou You do realize this video is made by Gamespot, right?

  • Really? I loved the game. I like the physics behind War, he moves very smoothly. And i never really had any trouble with pressing R2+L2 plus the right stick to aim the Crossblade to the fire and then on the bombs. It entered my top favourite games alongside God Of War and Devil May Cry (and in a few hours Dante's Inferno too perhaps). I cant wait for Darksiders Ⅱactually!

  • complex controls? what dude imagine this guy reviewing mortal kombat or street fighter. "i cant pull off a fatality so this games sucks" haha

  • @TheMadMilkman lmao i knr the controls were so damn simple my 6 year old brother was having no problem killing the spider boss. This guy is just a bad troll is all, i was laughing pretty hard at his pathetic attempts to light the bombs with the boomerang in the first dungeon.

  • @jstealth89 or you can say he is just average FPS player

  • I liked the story so much in this one.. Really wtf gamespot? And the controls are reaaaally not a big deal either, like it takes you 2 minutes to figure out how something is done?

  • If u think that the controls are to complex and confusing then im sorry but your a fucking retard. I hope you never play an RTS because you will have a brain aneurysm. This is a great game and playing as death in darksiders 2 is going to be spectacular.

  • If u think that the controls are to complex and confussing then im sorry but your a fucking retard. I hope to never play an RTS because you will have a brain aneurysm. This is a great game and playing as death in darksiders 2 is going to be spectacular.

  • i thought this game would be better but it pretty much sucks

  • I own this game and it's was not that good. I was left playing it just to see how it would end. The visuals were under developed some. Only the CGIs looked good, but that's no surprise. Too many shader instructions kill the fps. I play games on a high powered system with multiple processors, so it's very rare for me to own a game that has bad fps during play. But what about those with lower end systems? Can't leave them out. I only play these games when I'm not developing just to Analyse

  • I have PS3 it also has massive tearing. Anyway LOVE this game.

  • My ps3 has both those issues, but my Xbox360 only has one...Bias Asshole -.-

  • f.u. 360 better

  • is it weird that I thought that the story was the only engaging part of the experience. got tired of the puzzles sometimes, but having the horse made up for everything.

  • @ponquinful agreed, while some of the puzzles are fun, as the game progressed they got a little too repetitive. As for being able to predict the story after an hour, I was gripped every time I uncovered another piece of the plot.

  • lol complex controls? u suck man dont take it out on the game

  • dude he look so like lichkling in wow

  • Heard 2 things from reviews so far: The world is open and that it isnt open. How can it be both?

  • @DarknessProphet its like god of war 3 type of open

  • @DarknessProphet I don't know D:

  • $4.99 on Steam today.

  • even before watching reviews i wanted this game because i heard it was like a rated M zelda. i dont care if it takes other videogame ideas its still looks fun

  • I find it hilarious that there is framerate issues on the 360 but not on the ps3. It's almost always the opposite story.

  • complex controls? is he retarded?

  • my 1st ps3 games were assassins creed 2,brotherhood,prototpye and darksiders...and now noticed all of them wear hoodies!!

  • this is the new n.6 in my personal top 10 XBOX360 games

  • TF ya talking abt that it freezes? i have a ps3 n it never froze on me

  • Why did he specifically say Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time? I guess Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess don't count? lol

  • @TheOutlander37 I'm sure he didn't want to read a list of Zelda games and just picked the most praised one.

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk...i­ have a 360

  • @himlok33 its alright man they patched the glitches n shit agggeeeeessss ago

  • a what? dissapointing story? for the first time in awhile gamespot, you can go FUCK YOURSELF

  • Best £5 I spent on Steam. Looks amazing at none stop 60fps.

  • Wow i really disagree with this review, my 360 version never had any screen tears or frame-rate drops, but my ps3 version did, so the person doing this review obviously prefers the ps3 as compared to 360 which could have been completely left out. Also the story is amazing especially if you have been analyzing the stories of the four horsemen in a biblical text.

  • ps3 all the way!!!

  • story isn't disappointing.

  • I found throwing a charged crossblade quite easy... Did you only play with ur left hand or something?? And the story was awesome even though it was simple and predictable

  • @johannn94 Exactly the controls were so simple, and not complex at all, my 8 year old cousin played this with no problem at all.

  • @transformerdude4251 But it was still awesome :P im kinda sick of games in this genre having combat controls equally complex to games like tekken... I just wanna slash some monsters sometimes

  • wasnt really thinkin about this game too much til they announced part 2 where you play as Death...and he looks fuckin SICK!

  • I had no problems with the controls in this game. I found them rather easy to grasp

  • I think this was a generally fair review for Darksiders besides two things. 1. I found the storyline to very enjoyable and not even nearly as bad as many say it is. 2. The controls are hard? I don't even know what you mean by that. Never once in this game did I have trouble with controls, and what the fuck are you doing at 3:45? That was either an extremely over-exaggerated attempt at making the controls seem hard or the people at Gamespot have no idea how to use a controller.

  • @TheAwesomeOpossumCo I agree with you all the way, except i've had both console versions of the game and only had screen tearing and frame-rate issues on the ps3 version.

  • a really awsome game... bosses are challanging, and i have to disagree with gamespot on one thing, I liked the story line to it... though... there are a few things left out... I guess for the second game to explain. And... when it showed you a picture of the 4 horsemen, one of them looked like a woman, which would be a little strange, as it is unusual to see a female rider of the apocalypse :P... or i just didn't look properly. /shrug

  • I no longer trust reviews . The controls are to hard ? LOL you dont even have to think about what you are doing while playing this game . The controls are very easy .

  • after you finish the game, is there any fun in like replaying it or like free roaming?

  • OMG the reviewer sounds exactly like Tina from Bob's Burgers! haha

  • Yay, I have a PS3, I must be awesome because my version of the game is better.

  • and strange, the 360 version on games for demand doesnt suffer screen tearing or frame rate issues at all.

  • god dammit why does PS3 players have to act like we hurt their relationship status by starting a console war EVERY FUCKING TIME I COME TO WATCH A VIDEO! What, are your Ps3's not entertaining enough so you have to troll 360 gamers on youtube? I I own a 360 and a PC but the only thing keeping me away from buying a ps3 is its fanbase. so shut the fuck up and let me read the comments of people who are putting input into the review

  • Is "Darksiders" and "Darksiders: Wrath of War" the same thing?

  • @Wrash16 its the same game

  • @Wrash16 yap...

  • Nice lip sync @ 0:50

  • Comment removed

  • Ocarina of Time For Life!!!!!

  • The Frame-rate isssues has been fixed for Xbox 350

  • ps3 is better than the shitty 360

  • I got this game for free when i built my pc with an AMD 1100T phenom X6 processor

  • its got such a cool artstyle and had cool commercials. "All who wage war know my name!" and it was only 20 bucks for ps3. TOO BAD IT SUCKS! >.>

  • War is voiced by Gaara of the Sand!

  • @YondaimeApproved i know right!? isnt that awesome

  • @YondaimeApproved I though I recognised the voice actor!

  • @YondaimeApproved

    hehe as soon as I heard that guy talk I was thinking " Hey! That's Gaara XD "

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA,serious screen tearing issues on 360,lol.all the more fun to be a ps3 owner:P

  • @azzimaz I don't have these problems with the PC version and can play at higher resolution.

  • @Radwar99 more better for both of us PC &PS3 owners,lol.

  • @Radwar99 no ones gives a shit!

  • @HeavyMetalNeverDies7 The fact that you replied shows the opposite, have a nice day.

  • @HeavyMetalNeverDies7 it looks like 4 people give ashit

  • You console peasants will bicker about anything.

  • got this game for 20 bucks on the ps3 and for that i say its great game for that price.

  • Looks like a fun game and it's only 7,50€ in Steam so I'm buying it :P

  • GO, BUY it on steam for only $10 (of course this is only for PC on steam XD)

  • at 4:00 when they start talking about complicated controls i freaked out! the guy you see playing is a complete retard! he has to lock on the torch then the bomb....that's it. Yet he fucks up 6 times? and than blame the game? that's dumb!

  • @nemjit1 I was like that at first but like any control system it just takes time to get used to, after a while its easy to throw that thing like a pro even with the slightly "complicated" targeting system :)

  • 5 quid on steam, worth it anyone?

  • @qttytn Definitely.

  • @qttytn I've heard basically only good things about this game, 10$ isn't much so I'm getting it lol.

  • @qttytn idno, but from what ive seen, i need a game for the plane on spring break so im goin for it XD

  • @qttytn Defiantly worth it, has the polish of full priced games and is a lot of fun.

  • does the main character sound like gaara?

  • £5 on steam woooooop

  • @dupton69 got it...pure awesome sauce ^^

  • @dupton69 Hooray for European currency! :D

  • @dupton69 Amen to that!

  • Also, the controls are only complex if you're used to single button mashfests like god of war. Yes, this game has the brutal nature of god of war and the puzzles of zelda, but I'd say the combat mechanics more closely resemble devil may cry.

  • 360 version has since gotten an update to get rid of the screen tearing and frame rate issues. The ps3 version mentioned here isn't superior in itself, it just simply got the update first, and then became available for 360 owners. So both versions are on par.

  • well atleast somebody likes the game unlike the other reviewers, personally i think this is a good game if you like to spent alot of time with your games because theirs alot of stuff to collect and unlock even after you beat it.

  • The only reason I bought this game is because of the fact that it has a PC version! I wish more devs would do this...not all of us are pirates.

  • @ThaPoopa I am! =D but I buy the games whenever I get the money afterwards.

  • @ThaPoopa

    Damn right. There's no such a cool hack n' slash adventure like this for PC. Even if the port is poor in some aspects, its functional specially on controls.

  • Is it just me, or is the voice actor for the main charector the same voice actor for Gaara from Naruto?

  • @vamp567 Actually yea it is him.
