I don't know why I waited this long to grab Darksiders. I saw the reviews, people told me about it, but I just didn't get it. Well today I blindfolded myself and got it. Been playing it for 6 hours straight. It just never wants you to stop playing and just keeps on pulling you in. Many people have compared it to Zelda games, but to be frank, it's a completely different experience, as they said in Cracked.com, War will make mincemeat of Link, bar-be-que it, and feed it to Epona!
 
I hope the game delivers even after the beginning part as some games don't. These kind of quality game are hard to come by nowadays, I'm so glad that I finally got my hands on it!

I bought it sale a while back and I agree it's an excellent game.  To me, though, it's a lot like the recent 3D Zelda games.  With a little God of War and WoW mixed in for good measure.

from what I have played of the game it seems like Batman arkham asylam in the way that it slowly feeds you more things as you progress through the story to access new areas and stuff

and i thought its just another lame ass hack'n'slash game 
 
i'll try it out !

I appreciate it more in hindsight. Yeah its just a mesh of superior games, but those superior games come out, what? Once every 4 years? I'd take that over another "hide behind the box and shoot" bit of bullshit.

Man, I really need to get this game again.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm sad that there wasn't anything shown for Darksiders 2 at E3.  Oh well. 
 
With that said, it's totally a Zelda experience with a slight DMC-styled combat system in place.  The game is smooth as hell, graphically incredible, and had a good story with a strong build-up on the mythos.  Plus, the ending was fully satisfying while still building up for a sequel.

Darksiders is maybe my GOTY so far. I fucking loved that game-it's 2010's Arkham Asylum, as far as I'm concerned.

Good games aren't that hard to come by.

I loved this game, played through it in two sittings. Actually I didn't finish it, once it wanted me to run back and get all the sword pieces I sent it back to GameFly, but man it was awesome, and I saw... most of it.

It's funny, I got this from GameFly last week, played it for awhile over the weekend and just couldn't get into it. I've never felt compelled to finish a Zelda game, so maybe I'm just not into this style of game play, but I just wasn't having much fun with this. The combat wasn't all that fun and I just felt like everything in the game was something I'd done better in other games. 
 
I made it through the first dungeon, beat Tiamat, got to the beginning of the next dungeon and then just decided that I didn't want to continue. I especially didn't like the combat challenges which just felt like padding for padding's sake. 
 
My other big problem was the aesthetic and art design - just too angsty for its own good. This is just a personal thing, but I'm really over growly, angry anti-heroes in my games.

I'm impatiently awaiting the Steam release in September.

Darksiders is like Zelda on steroids. And not just because of the chunky art style. I love everything about this game.

I was getting a serious Soul Reaver vibe from the game.  I loved the game and I intend on replaying the game on the hardest difficulty for the S rank soon. 

For sure. I played the demo and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately didn't have the money at the time, and I kind of forgot about it.  
 
I seriously can't wait until this game comes to Steam. 

I've never played a Legend of Zelda game, so to me Darksiders was something fresh and new. Loved every minute i played it and the ending so sooooooo good.
