Darksiders©

Release Date: 5th Jan 2010
Genre: Action-Adventure


Darksiders is a video game being developed by Vigil Games. The game takes its inspiration from the apocalypse, and battle of armageddon described in the Book of Revelation, a chapter in the Christian Bible. The player takes the role of "War", one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse!

Storyline:
The apocalypse has just taken place prematurely, and the world destroyed, and War finds himself tasked to find out who was behind this; caught in a battle between angels and demons, he has lost much of his power, and must find out where the other horsemen are, and who misled them into starting the final battle.

Gameplay:
Darksiders is primarily a combat action game, with weapons like giant swords and miniguns available!! "War" can also regain his powers throughout the game, and rides his own horse called Ruin.

The powers and horse which "War" must regain play an important role in the game, as they enable him to access areas of the world which would otherwise be locked off. There's a wrath meter, similar to the musou gauge in the "Dynasty Warriors" series, which fills up as "War" fights, and gives access to powered-up and special moves.

Action takes place both underground, where puzzles play a large role, and above ground in which free roaming is allowed.

Although early impressions have led journalists to compare the game to God of War and Devil May Cry due to its strong combination of combo based sword combat and guns, designer Joe Madureira has likened it to The Legend of Zelda series. I'm a fan of all 3 of these games, so ticks all my boxes!!

There is talk of a sequel already, with supposedly online gameplay and an elaborate plot.

I think i will be renting this one, as there is no online gameplay. Hopefully the sequel won't take too long to release!

(Play.com gave a full review of this game in their December 2009 edition, i'm pretty sure it's got 10/10 at the moment!)

Yeh i agree. I loved that game too.

I'm a fan of my fantasy style games, more so than games like halo, etc.
