A challenging and cool looking actiongame, just seems to be made for consoles rather then PC.

User Rating: 6 | Darksiders PC
Overall: 6.0/10.
A good game really, just not on PC. The whole feeling of the game is that of a console game and the controls gets so frustrating using a PC that you give up sooner or later, at least I did.

Graphics: 7.0/10.
The graphic is cool, but everything looks a little to big - or zoomed in - for me. I get the feeling that a camera mode with a bit more overview would straighten this up. The units looks fierce and the world ok, it's easy to se items and other important stuff.

Sound: 6.0/10.
Well, I don't really like the music that much. The dialogs and voice acting is ok, I like that shadow-dude (cannot remember his name now) that follows you around. Would be nice to have some none dramatic dialogs for a change.

Game play: 4.0/10.
If playing with a console, this score would get much higher, but there is reasons for why I had to lower it. One mayor fail is the "invert mouse" option that affects the gameplay both as it should and in aiming mode (which is absurd, you don't want to move the mouse down to aim the crosshair upwards!). This ruins a lot of the gameplay experience for me as I need to play with the invert mouse option when running around in 3D games. Also, the game feel zoomed in, as said above. But there is still some nice parts even when using a PC, some fights are a bit challenging and you need to plan you way through certain obstacles. I like the way you buy skills and items (even if the menus are scary big), but I for one don't care about crushing every last object in the area to gain more soul-money... where does the soul from a car come from anyway? Well, there is different weapons with different attacks that keeps you interested in advancing in this game, that would be the main reason to keep playing along with the strategies to get them, I guess.

Idea: 8.0/10.
There seem to be a lot of thought into this game. It's a bit different from other apocalyptic games and the fact that the second game will take place in the same timeline but with another character makes it a bit more interesting for me. I would like to change a lot of the game so it fits better into the PC platform, apparently that idea hasn't crossed the developers minds.

Story 5.0 /10.
The story would need some more introduction if forms of movies, to make the player understand who is who. I didn't really get who was with me or not in the beginning, and it took me a while to understand what part I played in the story. The very linear path in the game feels a bit lame, there is not much room for exploring since all way but the right one is cut off. Still, I believe that there is some nice parts in the story, with a lot of challenge waiting for you.
