Story: Darksiders is a single-player action adventure in which the player takes control of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In third-person perspective, the player engages in combat, puzzles and exploration. The world is divided into separate locations with many areas at first initially inaccessible until War regains many of his lost weapons and abilities. The center of the world, The Scalding Gallow, acts as a hub where War is given new objectives and paths to further unlock new areas. Each contains a series of linear and non-linear paths, many of which require large sections of platforming, climbing and swimming along environment-based puzzles that impair progress that require the use of newly-gained abilities. He fights mainly against angels and demons, and has a unique way to kill each particular type of enemy, usually tearing them apart painfully.

Review:  I love this game!  I've played start to finish like 3 times, ok no four!  Its that kind of game!  the ease of warfare, changing out your weapons, leveling up its all very user friendly.  I'm not sure why they gave it an M rating at the ESRB, but whatevs - the stylized graphics are borderline cartoony, and consequently the blood and "gore" is cartoony too - not saying that its bad, just stating a fact.   The story line is pretty epic, and follows more of a christian belief system of angels and demons and what not - and like the bible, makes for a good read, tho fairly improbable.
Likes: WAR IS AWESOME!!!  he KICKS doors in! you get a trophy for spilling x amount of gallons of demon blood, yes GALLONS!
Dislikes: um.......  yeah this game is awesome I've got nothing i would change about it.
