Move over, Zelda! Say hello to Darksiders!

User Rating: 9.5 | Darksiders X360
By The-Apostle | Review Date:
This game has everything I miss from the Zelda series and more. Classic boss fights and dungeons. The same maps. Classic weapons and gadgets that can mostly be found in dungeons, and are even necessary for getting through the dungeon you find them in. It even has puzzles I've never seen in Zelda, like getting passed worms.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that the horse (Ruin), gun (Mercy), Crossblades, Abyssal Chain, and a couple other weapons and gadgets can be found in Zelda. In some ways, Ruin is better than Zelda's Epona (War can fight while riding Ruin), but in others Epona is better. (Epona can jump fences while Ruin can't.) Meanwhile, I prefer the Crossblades over Zelda's Boomerang because it can target multiple targets and the Boomerang can't. The rest of the weapons found in both Darksiders and the Zelda series, however, are about the same.

It is also often compared to Ninja Gaiden and God of War, and for good reason. The gameplay similar in the way you get off your button mashing combos. The devs also mixed elements of other games into it, like the instakill seen in past games like Devil May Cry, another game I've seen it compared to.

I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
