Utterly amazing!
You might have been fooled into believing that this game is a ripoff of God of War or some other similar games, but that is just deception. Darksiders has successfully put something fresh and tasty on the table. If you don't give this game a chance, it is safe to say that you will be missing a lot. The game literally teaches some big boys out there how to create something authentic.
The only criticism I might want to state would be the lack of support for standard controllers. The game would like you to have an x-box controller but once you try the keyboard controls, they don't really feel wrong or weird. So, in the end, this little flaw can be totally ignored.
Give this game a chance and you won't regret it.
