Darkest of Days Review

[123chaseyoung]

I was planning to buy this game for my history-crazy buddy:

I don't know if it'll make him happy or what

[megaman2k5]

its 10/10 for me,,, i don't care about graphics. i only care about story AND action

[GamingWalktrough]

i liked the game enough to play to play it more then once, i loved the pistol you saw at the first battle clip, the lever action and i love that there are lots of enemies at once :D

[Smallfry122]

This game is fucking boss. If you're going to complain about graphics or voice acting or some other shit, go play Call of Duty.

[turgore]

this game has some of the worst AI ever.

[megaman2k5]

@turgore because the people before were dumb in terms of fast combat?

[TheBullMoose95]

I like this game. I really do. People today just have lost the idea of the video games. To have fun! For those who don't like it, that's fine. Just don't tell anyone else.

[TigerRifle1]

Apparently the future wants us to play crappy games.

[calebrules0100]

It looks like Wolfenstien, and i will defaintly give it a shot because i love strange bizzare games. but i cant find it anywere.

I live in Austraila so has it not been released here or something?

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

I will get this game just for it punching out horse achievement!

[ArcticSquirrel44]

This review captured EXACTLY what I was thinking! sure there were some minor flaws, but hell... Everything else was so fucking outstanding that I didn't give a crap.

personally, I give this game an 9/10. I had SO MUCH FUN playing this game!

[leandrodiaz1198]

@ArcticSquirrel44 agree when i saw it on a gameinformer magazine i was like this will be the best game of 2009 then boom a lot of people make reviews about it they were like this one hating the game i play the demo and i fall in love with it this game deserves a 9

[Blastaman423]

This game does have its flaws but i enjoy it to just mess around in I give it a 7.5

[Mesina2]

A lot of "profesional" game critics gave this game low scores.

Also Gamespot said game is too easy.

Did those guys just played that game on easy?

[GenialerTyp]

ah, for me this game looks great. i am not a grafic freak, so it isn`t that important for me. and to get some real big battles where you can through the whole map, not like CoD and his clones, in which u are running through the same f* street. especially if its a not about ww2. how many ww2 games are there? 10k? but how many are there about ww1 or civil war? the game reminds me about mount&blade and i like the open maps and big epic battles, so i will get this game, without the futuristic guns

[drywolf1]

bad or not the fact of going back in time like this shows it has or at least had great potential.

[TheVENGENCER]

i don't know if i want this game or not.

[BluemanSun]

You ever see those commercials where they say. "Never buy a bad game again?" This is what the actors were screaming at

[BluemanSun]

6:17 - 6:40 just look at it... this is what proves how horrible the AI are.. your standing right next to them and your killing all of them.. this game absolutely sucks

[PurpleHoneyBear]

Xplay absolutely trashed this game, but despite the terrible graphics with black, brown, and darker brown, it actually looks like a really fun game!

Thanks for the review. I now have a very different impression of the game than previous.

[reclaimer036]

Let's not beat around the bush Darkest of Days is as awful as a normal person losing the Special Olympics. With less than average gameplay, bad design, voice acting, decent soundtrack, and horrifically stupid A.I. both enemy and friendly this game isn't worth the current price tag.

[PurpleHoneyBear]

I like the scale of the battles and the enemy physics.

But yeah, you won't see me handing over any cash for it at the current price.

[beefcake8888]

The AI in this game is bad. not gunna lie. but the AI in all of the call of duty games sucks too. so, give that a break. the plot, AMAZING. Accuracy to history, great. this game deserves a 7.5/10. I'm a sucker for civil war/revolutionary war games, so the demo got me.

[krissypie08]

My brother is head monkey in 8monkey :)

[benniaa]

the game looks really crappy when u have that mask on u!

[NFLplayaDOTcom]

this is probably the best review of the game- it was a great idea, but over all pretty poorly done- the one thing this reviewer minimizes a little was the lag- which is the worst I have EVER played- this was done with a small budget and it shows. a 7/10 is pretty kind. a great idea for a game- but the poor execution.

[jakesteel90]

i played the demo it sucked ass

[DoubleMannings]

Why do many reviewers say this game is bad?

[Gamefr3akable]

AWESOME

[vintagevideogamegeek]

This game looks sweeeeeeeet! I don't know why people are bashing it so much. Then again, I'm a sucker for time travel games.

[imnotstu81]

hey slasher dont get me wrong your a great reviewer many games i get are of your opinion but come on a 7 out of 10 this game is not worthy of that. look every where and you can find how bad this game is doing in terms of reviews. im not trying to be mean when i say this but i can not remember the last game you gave under a 5. while most of the time your right but you have had many situations like this when your giving a game a review it does not deserve.

[FreakNL112]

Good review . Complete and fair. Nice game.

[mayohater2]

i just saw xplay and thay were being real assholes about the game.

[RevengeOfTheGamer]

slasher *one of the best reviewers on the net*

[TheGamerz01]

Another brilliant review.

[SacredGamerVids]

well seeing as there a new group and since its a brand new engine its gonna have some problems at first, I cant wait till they "perfect" this new engine cause by the sounds of it, the engine could chance fps as we know it and they could become a huge company if succesful. Its kinda exciting lmao xD

[papo90]

I played the demo, the graphics are shit, terrible voice acting slow gameplay DO NOT BUY THIS GAME play the demo if you have XBL or rent if you don't.

[slasherjpc]

Alot of people I know enjoy this game. Sorry you don't.

[mandolinsarethebest]

ha ha i completly agree

[bigfreddy73]

i agree with you, it sucks

[slasherjpc]

Thanks for stopping by.

[SengerCJ]

@slasherjpc I agree, it's a very enjoyable game.

[FreakNL112]

Play the whole game or shut up

[papo90]

no way, to busy playing ODST, and cod 4

[Photosynthesisize]

@papo90 AAAAA I HATE YOU PEOPLE THAT DECIDE WEATHER A GAME IS GOOD OR NOT JUST BY THE GRAHPICS!!!! WHAT IF HALO OR CALL OF DUTY HAD TERRIBLE GRAPHICS, BUT WAS JUST AS FUN?

[leandrodiaz1198]

@Photosynthesisize this game is good and if cod had bad graphics it will be awsome halo already has bad graphics and look how much people love it

[lilrobb556]

@papo90 The game wasn't to bad, i hjave played worse games, that sucked ass, but this game a a good story line, and kinda has great weopons

[megaman2k5]

@papo90 and who the hell are you. this game is great in terms of graphics and story

[darklink594]

were did you get the game

[slasherjpc]

WEll it can be bought in stores but I got it from the publisher.

[killingman22]

how

[portalpwner]

@slasherjpc

probably about the only place on the planet where you will ever find this game up for buy

[LedZep2000]

Excellent review, slasher. You bring up the good and the bad on this title. Another review I watched on youtube said that the fun factor was up there too.

[9millimeter123]

the game is alright its not that bad

[misterhalo2007]

This game looks very easy!.... too easy

[MangVids]

nice review. im gona try it out it look interesting

[kkpipz]

i doubt they'll have such a good budget in other to produce a sequel, let alone they might have to close doors.

[tfhorth]

now SHUTUP.. and play it. Haha, awesome. I have this game on PC and love it :)

[The5thWarLord]

its a good game in my opinion, it is worth a rent, reviewers nowadays seem to rip anything not AAA

[Farenhiet123]

I got it on PC. Pretty fun game, all the reviews for it have been BS

[PoopieMcGhee69]

it's A Good Game!!! i got it the first day it came out :) good buy

[muggycheetos]

good review.think ill rent it

[WorthWatchingVv]

nice review ill try the demo out then maybe rent it.

[VoltagePictures]

nice i want it.

[ddp380]

I could have sworn I already commented on this video. xD But yeah, thanks for the info on the game developers, I'll likely pick this one up.

[btk88]

Good review

[GorTheMovieGod]

Ive been wanting to play this but the only way i can is if i buy it.

[ZeitgeistReview]

Ha, why the repost?

[AlexanderArts]

Did you just re-post this or am I going crazy? Well I liked the review - but I can't stand playing more than like two FPS games in a year.

[superlosia1234]

great reviews keep it up

[CATWARSS]

Nice.
