Ok, now that the entire New Years/Christmas partying/drinking/fucked up hangovers and waking up to people you don't know/remember is over, (never go to a college party on New Years thinking you'll be a designated driver) I can finally get around to my reviewing.
I decided to work on Darksiders because I'm waiting on God of War 3 to finally come out and I've been looking for some form of entertainmet that allowed me to rip off heads, break spines and snap a few necks with a really over powered sword (without getting arrested and charged for it and the only excuse being "I was bored").
Darksiders was actually A LOT like God of War. A really powerful, vengeful god (War of the 4 horsemen) comes down, looking to settle a fight between the angels and demons. It isn't the apocolypse, but ends up with human extiction anyways. They probably picked War because (in the words of a completely different reviewer who made me laugh at this) Death would be too easy to play, Famine's a little too gradule and what the hell would you do if you were Pestilance? Cough on everyone? As with the Zelda games, it gives you a grappling hook, a boomerang and puzzle dungeons where you have to bend a light by using mirrors.
Then, what they do to War is basically take away his powers and kick him back to earth and being charged with "not playing fair" It seems he's supposed to be neutral here. He then has to find answers for the extiction of the human race.
Okay, someone please tell designers that there's a difference between being original and just plain copying and pasting!!!! This is God of War with a different war god, different bibliography and a different fucking sword!!!! The main character is a little to overdrawn in my taste. I mean, keep it simple: if the item on the guy is just there for show, at least make it look like it could be used. Otherwise, stop adding like 10 of them for no reason!!!!!!!
*Sigh* I gave this game a B-, due to the fact that I basically played the game already multiple times...but still good enough to use to let out some stress once in a while.
