  • Love this review.thanks.

  • Maybe I'll try this out if it's like Legacy Of Kain/Soul Reaver. I was a huge fan of the LOK canon and hope for the day (it will probably never come) when a new Soul Reaver comes out, though Defiance all but ended the series.

  • the voice actor who voiced War is now voicing Asura in Asura's Wrath

  • This is the best intro, better than other

  • Just bought the game but im a bit dissapointed. Im about an hour in, searching for the heart of some kind of batqueen. but wonder if the game will ever take off and become great?

  • Isn't it great that darksiders was a first game for the studio that made it? And it was maybe my favorite game after dragon age origins and fallout 3

  • when u complete the game can u replay the game or u have to make a new save data to start a new game plz reply

  • i got this game on pc and its fucking owesome

  • This is actually one of the few action, hack and slash games along with God of War that has a very engaging story.

  • This game is amazing. I can't remember if I put it in the top 5 list of games with the best voice acting, but if I didn't consider it number 6, I guess. I remember playing Soul Reaver and I have it for my Dreamcast. It's a great game, but I have yet to check out the other games in the franchise. This game is very satisfying and rewarding, but I wished the puzzles were a little more challenging. The story is great and it kinda reminds me of Todd MacFarlane's Spawn.

  • Every single review of this game is based on the 360 which has the frame rate issues... however on PS3 it has NO frame rate issues at all, it is always so smooth and there is no screen tearing either. My brother has the 360 versiom amd I have the PS3 version and he was frustrated and gave it up in under 2 hours. I LOVE THIS GAME on PS3.

  • @jalapolo BS I have the PS3 version and it has heaps of issues that have made my brain hurt on some long play sessions, I don't care though it's a great game/hope they sort it out on DS2

    I dunno maybe I need a software up date.

  • The last dungeon reminded me Myst. I don't know, maybe because the numerous puzzles there. Felt awesome.

    Oh, have you heard that in Darksiders II there will be multiple towns with NPCs that can give you side quests? And that one single town will have more dungeons than the whole Darksiders 1? Well in D1 we technically have only 4 dungeons because desert area is not one, it don't have a proper structure.

  • 5 dollars on steam right now

  • very underrated game

  • Your intro was so pointless and annoying that im not going to see the rest. sorry.

  • Darksiders 2 on Game Informer's cover. Holy crap, we'll play as Death!

  • @ProkoLokor hes not the most powerful tho :/,Plague would kick some major ass!!!!

  • @ProkoLokor And we will propably play it to death.. I tell you i love this franchise!

  • Comment removed

  • Good review. Gonna try this out just cuz you made this game sound badass (and Joe Mad is the shit). Thumbs up dude

  • I don't know, I have the game on Xbox 360 and ive been playing for two weeks and I never had screen tearing or lag.

  • I just don't understand why some critics like gamespot and ign said the story sucks. I mean isn't this awesome? You get to play as a "Hooded Horsemen Badass". Apocalypse comes in and you were frame by The Council for starting the end of the world.

  • "He plays a great, great asshole!" made me lol :P.

  • I really think your intro and transition music is the best here.

  • "So basically" = dislike button

  • this felt like loz. ive only played 2 games, this one included, that mimic legend of zelda, so yea, i LUV IT

  • Just finished playing this. I thought it started off great but got really slow in the middle to end portion. The very last dungeon just seems to last forever and the last little fetch quest just pads the gameplay hours.

    Really great review here, and I do hope they make a sequel as the ending totally seeds the next installment.

  • @samspadena agreed but idk if you herd but there is a darksiders 2 ment to be coming out next year, but the devlopers say that it isn't a sequel (which makes darksiders ending kinda pointless) but that the new darksiders is a different character and takes place along the same time as the first one

  • This or NG2? Plz answer!!!! Thnx....

  • @sureurmi565 this or ninja gaiden 2? ...this

  • fake God of War. But seems fun.

  • Cock

  • this game is beast! i got it for xmas and havn stopped playing since it is truly a work of art

  • Whitey classic intro " So basically....", seriously man, sometimes it's annoying as brainwashing tape, please give some variety start; I love your reviews, but you should improve some vocabulary for your own good. :)

  • @FXIX Are you kidding me? One day I want everyone to start off with "Basically" ;)

  • @UltimateChance It was just a suggestion for free

  • @UltimateChance wrong 2012 happened to early

  • @UltimateChance You convinced me to buy it, Thanks man!!!! :)

  • @UltimateChance i heard they will do a remake of soul reaver!

  • @UltimateChance Basically, what you're saying is that you want everone to start their sentences with "basically". Basically, I'd find this very annoying.

  • Subscribed

  • WORST OPENING EVER! oh my gawd im glad i skipped it... p.s. i never use "gawd"

  • WORST OPENING EVER! oh my gawd im glad i skipped it... p.s. i nevere use "gawd"

  • 0:32 to skip the intro.

  • lawl i played this game and loved it and i thought it was like a legend of zelda game because of all the different wepons and things u get threw the story its awsome if somebody is considering getting this game just do it dont evan think youll love it thumbs up if im right

  • i just got it off of steam... waiting for the download now.

  • man this game rocks mine didnt have any problems i just beat it and i like it better than god of gay war dude the puzzles are hard in the black throne

  • man this game rocks mine didnt have any problems i just beat it and i like it better than god of gay war

  • this game SUCKS, the guy is like a god damn midget i cant stand it

  • @mushfarm This game is amazing,shut the hell up fagget

  • he says you cant ride Ruin much. You cant ride it in tunnels, but thats pretty much all where you cant.

  • Going to pick this one up on my birthday in december :)

  • love the intro tune

  • and you know what else is great? no DLC whatsoever!!!...and no collector's edition too.  I picked Darksiders over Bayonetta.

    so heck yea, bring on Darksiders 2. We may get to play other Four Horseman.

  • @gunclan

    Castlevania

  • this or castlevania?

  • @gunclan Well both demos are available for download. I enjoyed the darksiders demo more though

  • @gunclan both

  • i bought this game,got 100% completion,1000/1000 achievement points,completed it about 3 times,so i traded it in and now i regret it, i'll be buying this game again very soon,to me,it's a 10/10,specially after the patch came out for the screen tearing,so if you have AAAAAANY interest in this kind of games,do yourself a favour and buy it,NOW

  • best game EVER...imo xD

  • nice review man, how often can u ride Ruin??? I have been thinking on this coz i love to go with Ruin everytime

  • @tonertonki u can ride ruin basicaly anywhere where there is a big open area.you dont get to ride him too much but it is still fun while you do...(also there are levels where you have to ride ruin to get to)

  • how long is this game?

  • Im gonna get the PC version.

  • Just got this game and you are right, it is amazing!!! PS I like your review style.

  • whats the song

  • I literally completed this on normal mode for the first time less then 30 minutes ago. It is as every bit as awesome as you said it was and I got it for less then £12. Unbelieveable deal =D

  • better than bayonetta in my opinion

  • its class

  • DAMMIT!!! The end of the review sounds so cooool. Let me see it plzzzzzz!!!

  • the way this game ends they better fking make a sequal caue this was fking epic

  • @gh3rockzzV2 It was the best ending I've ever seen to a video game, the way they leave you wanting so much more and setting up a sequel while still delivering a satisfying ending... epic.

  • love your music bro and the review is on point as well

  • finally a reviewer that makes sense and speaks the truth! this game is one of my favorites of the next gen. It is like LEGACY OF FUCKING KAIN not dumbass shallow piece of shit god of war. Im so sick of everything being compared to god of war. devil may cry, and legacy of kain both did action WAY BEFORE god of war. god of war is the rip off game dammit

  • I would give this game an 8.5,I enjoyed it a lot but thats it,I wont be thinking back to it in years to come but its still a fun adventure

  • I didn't realise this from the beggining, but this is games of my dreams. Perfect fun and feast for eyes.

  • BEST REVIEW EVER !!!This is the best review I've ever seen and believe me I've seen tons and tons of reviews...I totally agree with you on everything...It's still my favourite game and I love it from top to bottom :) The graphic style kicks ass The controls are super.The story is unique and shows a new side to the apocalypse.THE ENDING JUST RULES !!!And yes it looks more like legacy of kain :D I've played that game a lot too :) I bouth this game for ps3 but I will buy it for pc too in June :)

  • nice review, i wanted to get this game from the beginning. but now I REALLY want it! I agree, innovation isn't what matters, fun is and if it's anything like god of war or devil may cry, then it must rock! YES DARKSIDERS 2!

  • fantastic fun we play it all the time at birthdays with my uncle he is absolutely brilliant at it. I downloaded the game totally free for my sony ps3 from - 115 games. com there are literally thousands and the best thing is they are all free oh by the way 0:01 2 3:51 was top notch

  • Just found this game for 22 euro, fuck yeah.

  • Awesome game I especially like 0:20 I got it online for free here 115 games. com They have the latest PS3 games available and the best thing is they are all totally free cool game and site

  • Awesome game.

  • please someone tell me this or bayonetta and someone thats played both games

  • in my opinion darksiders, bayonetta is almost a joke

  • this no doubt,Darksiders =D

  • @gearsfan165 bayonetta lasts maximum 10 hours and this is twice as long

  • @gearsfan165 well..bayonetta is basically angel may cry...strictly an action game...in darksiders...u solve puzzles and fight

  • this game just ripps off zelda

  • which one better?AC2 or this?(in term of replayability)

  • @solace00assassin none but i like darsiders better

  • did they patch up the screen tearing? and does the game have good replay value?

  • @gearsfan165 Yes they fix it on the 360 mhit a good working Patch.. PS3 has now problems

  • @gearsfan165 it gets boring when you replay because you cant use anything that yo have collected exept the abyssil armor

  • aliG, have you played the shitfest dantes inferno?

  • loved your review man, everything you said is so true, darksiders is underrated in my opinion......truly a great game and i cant wait for the sequel. Check out my review if anyone is interested.

  • whats screen tearing? is it when it looks like theres a line going from one side of the screen to the other?

  • @tatkirulez It's when part of the screen updates at different rate to another part.

    e.g you move in an FPS and the bottom half of the screen is fine, but then the top half stays stationery for a moment before catching up - as if it was momentarily torn in half.

  • i completely agree with everything you said, great game. I love how its a game about the apocolypse called DARKsiders and yet its so colourful.

  • this ganes reminds me of warcraft 3 xD

  • i gotta say, this game looks 100 times better than that shitfest Dante's Inferno!

  • You get to fly once.

  • There are no frame rate drops or screen tearing in the PS3 version(PS3 version is the best).

  • You have persuaded me Whity! I was not to sure if I wanted to buy this game, but after your review I will.

  • I can't afford as many games at one time, so any game that I get is going to be good with me.

  • hey whity are you going to review bayonetta?

    just wondering

  • nvm my bad

  • he already did

  • its funny ._. theres a bunch of reviews for this game and so many others but whity is the only one I trust.lol good job man keep it up. also,did you ever do a review on cross edge?

  • yay a legacy of kain comment, i thought everyone forgot bout that game its one of my favs, makes me angry when everyone compares it to just zelda, because from what iv seen it does seem to have a legacy of kain feel. I mean zelda isnt the only epic adventure game.

  • @lildread1 : this game reminded me of legacy of kain too. when he mentioned it in the review i was just like "FINALLY!!!A reveiwer that sees that" . I can't understand why people compare it to GoW , its nothing like it. Best comparation would be with soul reaver , like the wings that raziel could also glide with , and the puzzels . Anyway...awesome game, and great review.

  • "He plays a great great asshole"... lol sounded like you meant asshole literally XD

  • why dose the game has a gun thats shoots blue and red PORTALS

  • the first hour and a half of this game is pure shit while the rest is a great puzzle game

  • that happens on the zelda games too...they are boring until you get to play the real thing.

    fun game!

  • To everyone who watches this, Ultimate played the Xbox 360 version, it's only the Xbox 360 version of Darksiders which has the framerate issues and screen-tearing, the PS3 version is fluent. A patch should be out for the Xbox 360 versio.

  • @Blitzaking And yes the patch was release as it was said a year ago, thanks prophet of the past.

  • the proffesional gaming companies only gave this game either like a 7-8 score. every review ive seen that are made by the users always give it 9-10 witch is the one i agree with. im getting this game for sure on my birthday witch is today!!!! (1/27)

  • Lucky guy! Darksiders is definitely a 10/10!

  • good review man, hope the sequel has Samael and I hope you can play with Death

  • wont let on a spoiler but they have a pretty good setup for the sequel.

    btw game is rlly fun with the gameplay and the story progression.

    finished the game and i give it a solid 5/5

    btw favorite part of the game is that WARS FINISHER MOVES CAN FLOW WITH HIS COMBOS

    badass scripting on the developers part

  • Great review but in the future please, please be careful with the spoilers.

    You say that you won`t give away anything yet the footage contains BIG spoilers as boss battles and conversations.

  • making a squel to this game is kinda isnt cause of the armageddon everything is pretty much dead or maybe im wrong i havent played the game but im thinking of buying after hearing much good reviews of the game

  • you would have to play through the entire game to understand why people are hopeful for a sequel, some of the characters in the game don't seem like they have fulfilled their entire role in just this game. The ending is also something huge

  • ye i played it now and it was epic :D and ye the ending seem to hint for sequel

  • wasnt it?! that ending was so badass i almost cried

  • Really great review man. Well done, helpful and easy to relate with what you're describing. I freakin LOVED the Legacy of Kain/Blood Omen games so I'll pick this one up for sure.

  • i Am so much getting this... !!! =D

  • yeah, i bought it with low expectations, and after the first cut scene the graphics are kinda shitty..but as soon as i started the story i was hooked "Heaven and Hell"

  • Where do you see "shitty" graphics in this game? Are you some kind of Tool? Or just retarded? Maybe you think all games should look like COD...? I'll promise you this: despite CODs 60 fps and sharp textures, it's only able to do so because it's a linear FPS that doesn't have to render as much content - I'll guarantee this game is pushing the next gen processors harder than most.

  • man...someones on their period...i was just saying that I think SOME of the graphics and details are few and far between..calm down man, you need to learn that everyone has their opinions. fuck. i didnt say it was a bad game, i think its a really good game.

  • i love this game!

  • Angels play like pigeons of hell

    Love the oxymoron

  • i completly agree wit u whity. this is a buy. and if u want a review, a true review, u need to hear it from the players. The comic design is amazing and gives it its own look (like borderlands art style). like whity says these people deserve a sequel. and this game in my opinion is better the bayonetta.

  • The Screen tearing is not on the Ps3

  • dude your fucking reviews rock. you sound like you should be doing the official reviews because we can understand you and you make very valid points on both the pros and cons of the game. I enjoyed this review man. ace job.

  • DARKSIDERS looks awesome ,

    I am a big ZELDA fan ,an this looks like a cross between ZELDA an NINJA GAIDEN

    Great review Whity

  • look more like zelda style area with devil may cry gameplay to me.

  • @ solace00assassin

    Yeah maybe

    Ive never played DMC , but I have played NINJA GAIDEN so thats why I compared them.

    Bought DARKSIDERS today ( coz of this review ) , and if it is truly a cross between ZELDA & GAIDEN - then I will be well satisfied lol... (by the way it says on the box that PLAY US MAGAZINE marked it 10/10 )

  • should I get this for the PS3 or 360?

  • @newf360

    According to IGN the ps3 version runs smoother.

  • 360 cuz most multiplats r better on 360

  • i played it and i can say the game is ok but nothing wow like you got to get this game your missing out but its still fine as for graphics i myself think its shit but graphics is not everything in games the gameplay was alright but at the same time not so good as i saw the same thing over and over but i think Story is the best thing about this game again nothing that you missing out but i say a rent or wait for a price drop or when theres nothing else to play get THIS!

  • Whitey's right, this game is great!! i'm ready for darksiders 2. i think it would be fuckin awsome if in the second one they keep war as the main character but have segments in the game where you could play as the other 3 horsemen or maybe even choose between the 4 horsemen at the begining of the game but i still think it would be better if they kept war as the main character

  • Bayonetta, Darksiders, DarkVoid, Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2! Holy Fuck

  • And thats just in the next month! just think about God of War, dante's inferno, Splinter cell conviction, Napolean Total War, and Final fantasy 13! Holy fuck

  • anyone know how long this game takes to beat, and if it has replay value - is it a buy ro rent

  • i recommend it as a rent. Probably not a buy (unless u wait for a price drop). Alot of people say the game is amazing, but the thing that broke it for me was the repetitive gameplay in the first couple of hours. BUT if your able to get over the first 3 hours of repetitiveness and slim interaction (with other characters in the world) then this is easily a good buy. but like i said, rent it first and see how u think :)

  • I think Bayonetta looks better than this, I hate the design in it.

  • your recording makes it all look dull

  • Shame it's an amazing game.

  • the intro song is so annoying!

  • Great review man, but I'm assuming you played just the 360 version? because the PS3 version has no slow-down or screen tearing.

    One of the few superior multiplatforms on the PS3.

  • for the rackerd, the screen taring is not on the ps3

  • I have this and just realized who 1:33 is ^_^

  • Is this game sort of like Kingdom Hearts or Infinite Undiscovery, because i really enjoy those kind of game styles

  • lol. the angels are bad ass pidgins from hell

    was it better then Bayonetta?

  • buy darknes or wait for dante's inferno ???????

  • Don't you dare buy dante's inferno. I will personally rip off your fingers so you can't play it. Get darksiders it's amazing.

  • I want an opinion..

    Should I Buy or Rent Darksiders?

  • Buy.

  • Nice review, Whity! :)

    Taking the time to put all these videos and reviews together must be very time consuming for you. In addition to the fact that you seem to keep updated with so many of the current games.

    Your time and effort is much appreciated. Cheers.

  • @shroudedgamer agrreed :D

  • i got to play this game i just pick it up

  • just bought the game about 4 hours ago and i fucking loved it. its really great and the more you play the better it gets. Chaos form is fucking awsome and god.. so badass!

  • god of war rip off... and i hated god of war... fuck it.

  • but theres tons of games like this (hack an' slash) before God Of War, so obviously God Of War ripped off something

  • that's true, but GOW had to be the most popular one of the 2000's

  • I think God Of War was just the one that raised the bar so to speak.... so everyone remembers that one because it seemed to revolutionise the genre.

  • @xxxNightstalker1xxx God of War did take things that other games had, but it took the Hack an' Slash formula and added things like puzzles, an awsome story, and fluid combos to make it one of the best action games ever.

  • i agree even though im not a big fan, i was simply stating the fact
