I was able to grab this game as a rental on January 2nd, finished it, did a dance of joy at how indredibly cool it was and then bought it when it came out. The only gripes I had with it were fiddly controls towards the end (due to constantly having to reassign buttons) and a bland/generic soundtrack, but aside from those things Darksiders really does everything right.
Good review, Funk!
Good review, Funk!
Pretty good review. I would get this game if I had a PS3.
Though... one problem... in your review, you point out that the "bulging shoulder pads" are reminscient of World of Warcraft... problem is, that sort of thing dates bake to the Warhammer and Warhammer 40K tabletop-figurine strategy games (just look at the space marine designs)... I know that this is a minor quibble, but I do think accuracy is important.

I watched this review just so i could hear the signature "Hi, I'm John Fnnk", it's my favourite part. It's good to see someone not ripping on this game for being unoriginal, I might pick it up because I don't have an N64 and I can't play OoT to see what all the fuss is 'bowt.John Funk said:
Yet another person fails their patience check, and now we have to get them out of a sticky mess because of it. Sounds like fun. 
The monsters are the same throughout. However, there are, of course, dungeon specific enemies. Also, I didn't think the puzzles were overly the same.
I have to wonder about what John says about the instant kills getting boring because they are the same for that same type of enemy. God of War did the same thing and I don't hear anybody complaining about that. But anyway, I found this game to be pretty fun, if it does have some similarities to Zelda, but what game doesn't? LoZ practically invented most RPG elements still in use today.

that's what i thought when I first saw War. I said "Hey, he looks like a badass Death Knight." Ripped Armor, big two-handed sword with screaming faces, and you can put "Enhancements" that make his sword glow different colors. Lots of similarities there.
