    This game is a button masher with an elementary leveling system and basic platforming puzzles. The game is wide but shallow, as if the developers decided to move on to different aspects of the game without finishing the aspect there were currently working on. I had high hopes for this based on reviews but I'll be returning it soon. The game looks and sounds good, but the gameplay qualityThis game is a button masher with an elementary leveling system and basic platforming puzzles. The game is wide but shallow, as if the developers decided to move on to different aspects of the game without finishing the aspect there were currently working on. I had high hopes for this based on reviews but I'll be returning it soon. The game looks and sounds good, but the gameplay quality just isn't there for me. There is nothing here that hasn't been done better in other games, and I lost interest within 10 hours.… Expand

    Pretty awful zelda wannabe, reminds me exactly why i dont miss third party publishers supporting Nintendo consoles more fully. I bought it on sale from the eshop for only £10 but after an hour or so with it feel i want a refund it's barely worth a single quid in my opinion. Graphics are merely ok and everything else from sound to gameplay and storyline is very poor indeed

    Darksiders II is an excellent launch game to test your Wii U. Its mixture of gameplay styles puts the console through its places and proves that the Wii U is well adapted to traditional games. Besides that, Darksiders II is an enormous adventure and the Wii U version even includes the first round of DLC on the disc, so if you've been holding out on Darksiders II, the Wii U version is the one to get.

    If you're a Wii U owner who hasn't played this on other systems, and are itching for Zelda, this is a great way to make the wait more bearable. [Feb 2013, p.77]

    In the end, the Wii U version of Darksiders II is almost exactly like the other console versions. The added control options are nice but don't give Wii U owners a large advantage over their brethren.
