So I was bored of modern warfare 2, and i decided to run to the video game store and they had DARKSIDERS. A game about the balance of heaven and hell being thrown into chaos and the world of man being destroyed sounded pretty damn hardcore for a tuesday night. I've heard so many mixed feelings on this game, so I sat down with the controller for a few hours and here is what i concluded.
This game is a clash between GOD OF WAR and ZELDA. Two hardcore titles smashed together for our gaming experience.
Just a taste////
First scene, running through the city with all of your mighty powers, playing as WAR, one of the four horsemen. The balance has been destroyed, people are running, flying angels are killing demons, and demons are killing humans and you were...falsly summoned? (SPOILER!)
Anyway, you lose all of your powers JUST LIKE GOD OF WAR. Amazing, and you must get them back as you bring the ones responsible for the death of man to justice.
The dungeons are long, and the gameplay stops from being repetitive seeing as you unlock new gear as you go along :). The game is a nice flow of graphics and gameplay controls. Nonstop action, and a lot of fun puzzle dungeons (LIKE ZELDA ;))) )
Overall I suggest you guys give this a playthrough, I only rented it to pass time between my gamefly rentals, and I am liking this game.
Gameplay 10.0- GOD OF WAR MEETS ZELDA , Amazing, good controls, decent graphics amazing story line, tricky and lengthy dungeons.
Sound effects 9.0- Hack and slash game, typical sound effects but not too repetitive that it drives you crazy (Dragonage)
Replay value 9.2- Just like zelda it has potential to be moderately replayable depending on your interests.
Overall I gave this game a 9.5///10 So whether you rent this or buy it, you owe it to yourself to get your ass in this game and learn about the WAR and his battle to brutally reclaim his honor.
