The Save Points writes: "But in the end the game lacks something. The fighting is slow, the collecting is long and boring, and the exploration aspect, while intersting at first, gets boring fast and after around an hour of play you get bored and don't feel like playing anymore(so taking breaks while playing this is definitely a good thing).
Don't get me wrong. It's a well done game. The atmosphere is great and immersive (until the gameplay bores you), the Wii controls are well implemented(not something I say really often), the QTEs are much better used than in most games that use them (though it's still a "press this button to not die" affair), the combat is not too bad despite being slow and there's tons of collecting for people who like doing it.
Though I can't really suggest purchasing this game, I do at LEAST recommend to rent it. It's a unique experience, and there is SOME enjoyment to be found, but it's not something that's worth more than a rental. At least it's better than a lot of the crap I've been trying out lately (*coughxbladescough*)"
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
In an enlightening interview with Laser Lemming Nordic Game's Martin Kreuch reveals the swedish publisher's plans for their recent haul of THQ ips, including Darksiders.
How about no Darksiders at all? I never understood how people could play this game from start to finish, both belong to the worst games I played in the last 10 years.
Darksiders is an amazing Zelda style game with terrific art direction, great characters, fun gameplay, and something severely lacking from this generation BOSS FIGHTS! The first also had a pretty decent story and its ending is one of my favorite endings in video games.
I also agree with the notion of the first being better than the second.
Oh maaan, please continue the story of darksiders series.
Also if you do manage to get older developers, i hope you guys remove the rpg-ish element. <_<
The game was much better without it.
Agreed! I feel the RPG/loot esque style detracted from focus that could have been spent on more memorable characters and gameplay.
Game Informer - One of the most unique Wii titles revolved around a spider, a scorpion, and actors Billy Bob Thornton and the late Dennis Hopper. THQ released Deadly Creatures in 2009 to little fanfare, but many that played it were charmed by its quirkiness. This week, we see if that charm holds up.
