Honestly give this game a shot.

Youll find about halfway through the game, that they have taken good ideas from zelda, portal, GoW, DmC, and many other good action and puzzle oriented games to come up with a game that mixes great combat, exploration, puzzle solving, and enough hidden things that youll spend hours trying to get that one damn chest thats been outta reach forever.

The best part is, if you DO find all of the hidden things, in NG+ you can keep a couple of your finds, like the abyssal armor. But good luck finding that all without a guide. its a real test.

unfortunately the Abyssal Armor is the ONLY carryover.

Seriously...stop saying it's like DMC. You're the only person on the planet who says that.

if you are referring to me then you are actually wrong there are there are plenty that say that it is like DMC. and why are you getting so upset about it?

EDIT
a friend of mine said he feels it is more like Legacy of Kain Defiance than either GoW or DMC.

The Legend of Zelda isn't the only clear as day influence. Capcom's Devil May Cry has also had a heavy hand in Darksiders' development. Its look is one full of Gothic cathedrals and demonic overtones, a DMC hallmark. It's a realistic yet stylised look, and very comic book in tone. Imagine Spawn lending Link a hand as he sorts out Ganon. Something like that.

The combat is where DMC's presence is felt most. WAR's got plenty of demon-destroying abilities, with which he'll be chewing up countless skeletons, angels and the zombie-esque remnants of the human race, called the Wicked. Sword slices are his primary attack, his Gauntlet his secondary attack. He can also fire guns Dante-style from a distance. In order to mix things up a bit, Vigil has implemented a rudimentary counter system which should add depth and no little amount of skill to the combat. Enemies will attempt a desperation move when their health is low. When this happens a symbol will appear in the HUD - that's your cue to press the B button (on the Xbox 360 version, the one shown) to reverse it and trigger a devastating finishing move. When you combine all of this with the bog-standard action game lock-on and strafe/dodge and dash mechanic, Darksiders starts to become even more familiar to the genre's fans.

Yeah CLOS is great too. Has a lot of replay value and seems to be a very lengthy game. I would say CLOS has a much faster combat than Darksiders. Also CLOS is a more linear game, though you can go back to previous levels to complete trials and find gems to upgrade your character.

I was playing Bayonetta before playing this. You should check that out if you haven't. Has tons of unlockables and I had the most fun time platinuming it. Bayonetta is all about countering enemy attacks and has a very high response rate, so there is no lag. So when you come from Bayonetta to Darksiders it's very apparent that there is a small lag when pressing buttons.

I am looking forward to Darksiders 2, bigger world and faster combat. Going to be amazing.

i was not too impress with Bayo, it has better weapons than DMC4 and i liked the main character but the over all game felt too much like DMC. I did not feel they tried to differentiate it enough from DMC (same creator i know) that it felt more like been there done that. i played both when they were released and yes Bayo has faster combat but to me it was lackluster.

Better weapons my ass. Too many universal moves and it had no laser guitar.

Guy who made the topic, play the damn game then decide. Going onto a bias board and asking if you should keep a game without even trying it is just stupid.

i said DMC 4 not DMC 3 (3 had the best weapons but was not my favorite)

And I still disagree.

thats fair, i did not like the actual bayonetta game but i liked the weapons in it more than the DMC4 weapons.
