Good review, love the DBZ music too, lol. Though I would have suggested you play through atleast 3/4 of a game before you review it..4 hours, through a 15-20 hour game doesn't seem like enough. The ending was fucking epic wasn't it? "How will you face them alone?" "I won't..." and then they come crashing down, was so sick.
Darksiders (in my opinion) is one of the most fun games ever made to date...
and when you said the part about the game having a lengthy campaign, it does for the most part but if you play it almost non stop then you can easily get the game finished in 1 or 2 days of on and off gameplay (i've beaten the game on easy and normal and clocked in about 1 day of gametime over all then took a break and now i'm back in working on Apocalyptic difficulty)
@Zoza15 how can you say it has no replay value? i couldn't stop playing it and when i beat the game i instantly started it all over again because i think it has AWESOME replay value! (i had to force myself to stop playing)
and it may seem like it has no replay value (this is what happend to me) so i didn't really want to start a new campaign... but once you actualy start it all over again, it gets really addicting all over again... so just try playing it through again even if it doesnt seem fun
I hate this game very much. If i wanted a simplistic combat system with unecessary armor overload i would play overlord that game is fun. If i wanted a fast adventurous game with many maneuvers i would play wolverine.If i wanted various puzzles id play zelda .That guys armor is kinda annoying and doesnt make me feel badass at all since he takes damage so easily.The enemies arent creative. I kept getting reminded im playing against computers.Some enemies die the same exact way over and over.6/10
I love how many total morons are getting their fucking panties in wads over this game "ripping off" others. Had GoW come before this you'd say the exact same thing about IT. Dante's Inferno was EXACTLY like GoW but I happened to enjoy it more thoroughly and was miserable that it ended so quickly - much like GoW3. it's 20 fucking 10 you douchebag, you cant expect EVERY game that comes out to be enjoyable AND unique. The REASON it is enjoyable is BECAUSE of its similarities to other games
this game is very underrated, iv only tried the demo (yesterday) but im deff gonna get it especially as its now at a bargain price (£20), i dont understand why it gets slated for being unoriginal and copying god of war (since when was god of war original anyway) and legend of zelda, why is having a mature zelda like game on 360 and ps3 a bad thing? go point the copy cat finger at dantes inferno as that is the most guilty culprit of gaming plagarism, great game great review.
True Dantes Inferno is the worst example for copying other games, but c'mon what is so good about the design of war? There is no characterisation in it at all, he's a wannabe Space Marine. Ans where the hell are the other 3 horsemen? Decided to take a vacation during the apocalypse?
LOL judging by this review, this guy has obviously NEVER played God Of War, because this game is that but bad in evry single way, EVERY single way. It rips off everything from it, plus War himself has such a bad design, what the fuck is all that armour for? Kratos has like no armour at all. Plus this game has the worst representation of the Apocalypse I've ever seen.
You do realize God Of War is far from original right? the Combat is nearly identical to Devil May Cry and the puzzles are very similar to Prince Of Persia, Zelda & Legacy Of Kain but does that make GOW bad? no in fact those elements that GOW borrowed made the games great just like Darksiders & Dantes Inferno,you gotta remember no game is 100% original
" Ans where the hell are the other 3 horsemen? Decided to take a vacation during the apocalypse?"
@CrashnSpyro4Evar Lol god your an idiot - your one in a million people comparing this to another game because it has "similarities"; Dante's Inferno was JUST like God of War, but it was amazing and I enjoyed it MORE than GoW3. It's 2010, you cant expect every single game to be unique AND successful; the games they are "similar" to succeeded, and just because they came before this does NOT make this game somehow worse. If GoW came AFTER this you'd be bitching about that. Moron.
No theres more reasons why darksiders is worse, the big one is, WTF is goin on with Wars clothes? Whats the reason for all of it, there is no characterisation going on, the action has been done before and theres nothing new, the puzzles have been done before, story doesnt even matter for this, end of the world, i sick of always hearing about "Old prophecies" and "All powerful councils" , plus Dantes Inferno was crap because it made no sense, and the moral choices were just pointless.
@CrashnSpyro4Evar this is your opinion and i myself havn't played god of war either, but just because it has a lot of the same themes as God of War... that doesn't mean they stole it...
sure they might have taken the idea from god of war... but did i see god of war's name on this style of gameplay? i don't think so, people that think this game sucks because it "Stole" its style from god of war, makes me mad, its one of thouse things thats just a poor excuse for god of war fans to diss this game
There are so many reasons why this game is bad, the fact that it is a rip off of God of War and even Devil May Cry is just one of them and one that is instantly recognisable from when they released the first game play trailer. And yes they did pretty much steal it, I mean can't they think of anything themselves? Even the button to finish enemies off is the same, everything is the same, there is no difference between this and GOW/DMC. And like I said, that isnt the only reason.
Darksiders had great reviews, and why?, because this game brings you back to the good old side scrolling platformers and hack and slash but in HD and 3D
@Zoza15 Good reviews? Pfft nowadays every game gets good reviews, Monster Hunter Tri got a good review, assassins creed got a good review, bayonetta got a good review, reviews to me mean absolutely nothing when it comes from "professional" game journalists who give games 9/10 just for having good graphics which today seems like the most important thing now. And could you please give me an example of a classic side scrolling hack n slash game that Darksiders is trying to remind you of.
@CrashnSpyro4Evar even if it does have all of the same basic gameplay styles, who cares weither or not they stole the idea? its still a great game with a great story line, if the only reason you play a game is the way its actualy played, then thats retarded and it makes the game itself no fun
@Zeruen Did you just say it had a good story? Haha! Are you serious? This is nothing, there are plenty of games with far more superior storylines, this games storyline is just a stupid reason to "kill things with big sword". There are no original ideas for the story and everything in it has been done, plus the dialogue is crap and nothing special, and I'm not even going to begin talking about the voice acting. Having one good voice actor is not enough.
@CrashnSpyro4Evar hey... the story line isn't good or bad depending on weather or not someone already did this type of storyline. yes the dialog is crapy at points and the story of an apocalypse has been done, but i think that the storyline is still good because even if it is just another apocaliptic game, each one generaly has a differant story behind how it happend, and i think that they did a good job with this storyline.
@CrashnSpyro4Evar so this is just my opinion and all you need to do is respect the fact that i like the game based on my opinions... weather or not you like it is a totally differant story and i respect your opinions, don't tell me that this game is bad based from YOUR perspective because thats just stupid, the entire world doesn't have to think something is bad just because one other person does.
@CrashnSpyro4Evar well its not easy making a game youre bound to run into flaws and think kratos is a spartan in BC war is a horseman of the apocalypse in modern day so kratos is bound to have less armor
nice review, i liked this game, kinda wish the crossblade and fist were upgradable though (tip: never admit you havent completed the game yet, there are some scary, angry people on youtube who would murder you for doing a review without completing it lol dont reli bother me)
i really like your channel but fair and square ,reviewin game befored you even finished it??
