Darksiders = 360's version of Zelda with a lil Ninja Gaiden
Combat is very ninja gaidenish with special moves you can purchase and upgrade. You hit XXX pause X and perform special combinations. So far these combo's don't do much you mostly just have to spam one combat button to finish off most enemies regardless of what combo you use. They do look very cool when you pull them off if you're into the flashy combo fighting.
The graphics are very nice. I like the cartoony style of graphics that reminds me of WOW. I dislike games that try to look realistic they usually never look right. Or those games that always have metro sexual anime spiky haired heroes. You won't get that here.
The areas you play in all look very nice. Sometimes I pan the camera around just to checkout the scenery. The world seems quite linear, mostly go here kill X and get the special item along the way, then go to the next area and kill Y, get that special item just like old Zelda games. Its still fun mind you because you end up wanting to get those upgrades and new weapons.
