The first 15 mins of Darksiders is pretty cool. I'm gonna play some more after

The beginning cut scene is amazing the graphics are like Left 4 Dead. The look is like modern day New York until the heavens open up and what appears to be meteors is actually demons hurling toward Eart. Darksiders drops you right into some fighting nothing too difficult, but it's time to save the earth. It's serious Jimmy. There's a lock on that reminds me of classic Zelda. I fought through the first level learning some new combos and getting faster with the combat. The first boss battle is huge and designed well. I liked that fight.

The art design overall is amazing though. The color of the demons and angelic costumes designs are cool. The main guy looks like something Todd Mcfarlane designed. Actually it is Joe Madureira another one of my favorite artists. Mark Hamill does the voice of the weird thing that follows you around. Kind of like your guide, he's cool. So that should tell you enough about the look and feel of this game. Awesome.

I'm about to start it up again right now. Thanks for reading.
