AusGamers recently chatted with Darksiders II lead designer, Haydn Dalton, about the concept of their much touted "epic bosses" and how the player will approach their size from a combat perspective, among much more.
"Our bosses are really kind of like puzzles in a way -- like level puzzles," Dalton said of their epic boss encounters. "You’ve kind of learnt A and B in the level, but now to actually open a weakness on this boss, you’re going to need to use A and B, but also create C, which you have to figure out yourself. And I think that’s what makes Darksiders unique as an action-adventure. It’s that sort of element where there is a puzzle element and that kind of logical leap that the player has to make on his own, based on what he’s already played in the game."

"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
The release date has been revealed for The Art of Darksiders II Hardcover Edition.
