    This game was far from good. The constant button mashing hurt my hands, the graphics were sub-par, the gameplay was bad, and the story was even worse

    The combat is boring, repetitive, and lacks originality. The character models look good but the environments look poor at times. Uneven difficulty as well. I just didnt like this game.

    Jaggie-fest with horrendous screen tearing on the Xbox version. If you have a PS3 (you should have by now), get it on that, it's 5x better, really.

    Трэш. Можэт, если бы я играл в это не сразу после Гова 3, то смог бы поставить хотя бы 2.

    It's hard to think how great are the score in this site to this poor game. The history contains a ridiculous plot twist, so the history is really dispensable. to make things worse, Darksiders contain some of worst puzzle i have seen. The only positive point is the fighting system, it's some kind of fun. Don't worthy play this game.

    Un jeu de bourrin typique à la réalisation correcte malgré un crénelage assez prononcé sur 360. C'est plutôt bien présenté ma foi et la prise en main ne pose aucun souci : on devrait donc massacrer ces débiles de monstres tranquillement sauf que croyant bien faire (?) le jeu vous impose régulièrement sa méthode.

    Là, tue les monstres comme-ci et pas comme ça, tue-les vite ici ou tue-les uniquement comme ça sinon tu seras disqualifié. Tu m'emmerdes Darksiders ! on est supposé y jouer avec un neurone et demi, pourquoi de telles billevesées ? pour le reste ça use le pouce et la manette comme tous les jeux idiots "haque et slache" de ce sous-genre.    … Expand

    This is just another button masher with very simple and repetitive combos, i will however say that the finishing moves are cool, not quite a 3 or a 4 so 3.5 lets round that up to 4 yay

    Darksiders brings you everything you expect. A beautiful post apocalyptic world combined with excellent audio and a real cool gameplay, deserves nothing less than a high score.

    Darksiders looks like the result of a head-on collision between the Zelda and God of War-franchise. But instead of a big mess, both fuse together to form a hybrid with the best elements of both, combined with a great story. The game won’t win any awards for originality, but thanks to its long playtime, strong puzzles and great alteration between elements and scenery we can only conclude that Darksiders is already one of the first great games of 2010.

    At its best, Darksiders plays like an interactive compilation of this console generation's most interesting game mechanics. At its worst, it's like sitting through a mediocre cover band as they fumble their way through your favorite tunes.
