Darksiders
I went into Darksiders with little, to no excitement which may have helped me in the end. In Darksiders, you play as War, one of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse on his quest to...do...something. The explanation of all the story is really poor; which I think is similar to the story itself. It all feels bland which is quite a disappointment as I think having a good game with a good religious story could be very intriguing. Throughout the game, Mark Hamill follows you around as a creepy escort. His character is forgettable and odd. Sometimes he seems like a nebbish, weak character and sometimes he acts like he's strong, tough, and controls everything. In the end, he, as well as almost every other character (Besides War and Samael, who is pretty much the devil. Great voice work for both), is under-utilized and not very good.
You'd think Darksiders is a straight up, combat focused game. You'd be wrong. The combat, in the first 5 or so hours at least, is incredibly repetitive. Later on as you buy new combos and new weapons, it becomes a bit more interesting but never does become better than the environmental puzzles. I admittedly, have some problems with them, such as trying to throw a bomb through a small space is so damn tough, not because you have to be accurate but because the bomb sticks to thin air! It's not sticking to the sides, it's just hanging in the air! BITCH. Anyways, the puzzles are fun and really hurt your head in a good way. They're great at slowing stuff down and making you just sit back for a second and survey the entire level.
I'm playing the Xbox 360 version of Darksiders which is, well known, as the worst version of the two. There is points where it looks great but many points where it just goes crazy with screen-tearing. I did also play the PS3 version and I can vouch for the fact that it's better than the Xbox 360 one. I needed me some achievements. I don't know what it is about Darksiders but I secretly love it. Through all my frustrations and loud yelling, I keep going back and keep having fun. A definite rent for everyone and buy for anyone interested
