Darksiders impresses, 9/10 in first review

CC: THQ's Darksiders has impressed in it's first review, with 360 gamer magazine given the action/adventure game a 9/10.

[_insane_gamer_]

never sure about THQ titles. red faction guerilla didn't have the last appeal. Shame.

Definetely looking forward to this. It's got the chunkyness of Gears of War to it :P

EDIT: It can't be bad if it's like Zelda!

[hitthegspot]

I'm looking forward to this game also. I can't believe that it won't be out until 2010. I'm putting it on my Christmas list any ways, maybe Santa can work some magic.

Santa can perform magic ;)

I think Red Faction: Guerrilla is one of the best games this gen, and this is the year of the third person action games :)

[toaster]

Even the name sounds so badass.

since my bro got a PS3 now im trying to get him to get this game and i told him i'll buy GoW3. I wonder how long is this game i hope its pretty long.

[dragunrising]

I never was a fan of Red Faction either, however I feel that Darksiders is different. UFC Undisputed was pretty good. Have a little faith :-p

Comparisons to Zelda put Darksiders on my radar for sure. I hope people buy this game.

I'm still not to sure about this game. It comes out day and date with Bayonetta, but we still haven't seen or heard anything good about it, beside trailers. I checked gameplay videos and the combat looks stale.

I love Zelda, so once again I'll hold off judgment until we see more. But right now I think it can be a good game, but not great or the sleeper hit of the year.

THQ has put out some great games before. I have high hopes!

[PrimordialSoupBase]

It's likely an exclusive. In other words, it means nothing. Wait for the embargo to lift.

[WildArmed]

looking forward to this game. We can always have more hack n slash games.
They are pretty rare things compared to crazy amoun tof FPS games each year.

I rather play Action-HacknSlash/RPG games over FPS games any day :)
The trailer did impress, i hope the game is just as promising.

"I think Red Faction: Guerrilla is one of the best games this gen"

Wow, I think somebody must have a gun to Soda Popinsky's head. lol

I'm just kidding with you man, but your statement about Red Faction Guerrilla just shows how much opinions can differ. I thought the game was pure garbage and a total slap in the face to the two games that came before it.

[ruleroftekken]

Been looking forward to this since i saw the firsttrailer :D

[Nitrowolf2]

wow can't wait for this game, ever since i saw the first trailer i wanted to see more
lol the character looks like he could be from WoW

[Natsu X FairyTail]

I slept on this i'm not gonna lie. I'll keep my eyes open

[dkblackhawk50]

Game sounds good :P

[kevco33]

I'm told I'll be getting a copy prior to christmas - GO ME!

I can't wait...

[mjolliffe]

So am I. Very excited. Thanks to THQ PR's!

[Dipso]

At last a multi-platform game I'm actually excited about.

[Darkfiber]

I've had this game on my radar for a while. I seem to have more fun and appreciate smaller titles more than big budget, overhyped pieces of crap *coughuncharted2coughmodernwar fare2coughhalo3odst*. Good to know it's actually getting good reviews, Play gave it 10/10 and now a 9/10. I was worried for a bit as I heard some concerns but it seems like it worked out.

[UJUSTLOSTONE]

I'm still a bit worried but this is nice news, when I see the gameplay I'm a little nervous I still want it, but to pay full price ?????

Then I see the trailers and excellent voice acting and I can't wait to get it !!!!

I will give it a little more time before I finally make up my mind.

[ultimolu]

o-o oops, wrong game.

[tordavis]

????

[Dead_Cell]

It very well may deserve 9/10,but I think the endless horde of nines and tens that get dropped on game reviews is ridiculous.

[Perjoss]

you're right, reviewers should start giving games scores of 4 and 5 out of ten even if they are really good games.

[toaster]

Maybe games are just getting better and better.

[kaz-hirai]

Defenatly getting this on the PS3 ;-D!!!!

It only has every good game !

[nycredude]

I'll wait for a neutral gaming site before I get excited. Xbox gaming websites have much lower standards and expectations than multiconsole or Ps3 websites.

[Jamescagney]

Your arrogance is quite staggering.

[dorron]

I've been following this game since it was announced and I'll definitely buy it!!! If it's half Zelda half GOW it'll be TNT!!!

[Relientk77]

Im looking forward to this game

[horris36]

Bayonetta,Darksiders & Dantes Inferno wont beat God of W in Graphics but the gameplays are looking impressive. Nice to see the effect GOW has had.
