Luke Plunkett over at Kotaku called Darksiders a "Creative Mess" In his review and laments Joe Madureira's input. This statement alone is enough to make me think that he should probably never write game reviews again. Perhaps he should be relegated to stories about cakes that look like 1up mushrooms or cufflinks shaped like the Triforce.

He doesn't like the designs in Darksiders, which in my book says more about Luke Plunkett than it does about Joe Mad. In reality the designs are fantastic. Joe's work is energetic, iconic and just plain solid. The guy can fucking DRAW for real and Darksiders is overflowing with really inspiring visuals.
Gabe despairs in you Yahtzee. Do you hear me? Gabe despairs.

...how exactly do you get Bayonetta = God of War, and NOT Devil May Cry?

I mean, the comparison still works, but still...it seems so much more obvious to go with DMC

WAR! huh! Good gall y'all! What is he good for? Absolutely NOTHIN! NOTHIN! You can say it again!

Hilarious review. I was upset about none of the spectacle fighters being on the PC but now I don't really regret it. Bayonetta would be nice though... DMC's nerdy sister

Excellent review. My only problem with it is that Bayonetta is a God of War clone in much the same way as Devil May Cry 3 is a God of War clone.

Well the guys who made Darksiders are making the Warhammer 40k MMO, which maybe explains the costume. So yeah.

Haha I knew he wouldn't like it. Me though I love the fucking game and everything about it, guess I'm a 23 year old with the mind of a 14 year old then :p

I would hardly call this a GoW clone though. Yeah, it's 3rd person action-adventure where you collect currency off of dead enemies...who honestly thinks this is a unique feature of GoW? If anything, Devil May Cry was doing this 4 years before GoW came around.

I would say this is much closer to Zelda than GoW. In fact, I would say this is the best Zelda game to come out in years.

Also, for those who are saying they are going to stay away from this based on ZP, I would hardly call ZP's reviews "fair" :p

Hilarious review, but I have to say that I am absolutely loving this game despite the fact that it takes so many elements from other games. I feel like I'm being real defensive here, but at the end of the day it's all about having fun and I am having buckets of it with Darksiders.

I am a monster truck on legs!

It is also rather amusing watching everybody complain about which game is a clone of what,oh dear, the internet.

That was pretty funny, and lols is so much better while you being insulted. -Twitch- (40K for life!)

But yeah, I did love that, had some great puns and was a lot watchable then recent reviews, I was kinda tutting about all those games being like GoD, but meh, it still has some good laughs.

Thats because bayonetta is a devil may cry clone.

OT: Good review was actually considering buying the game to check it out.

I prefer the depth and complexity of God of War. Unfortunately all the debates Kratos has ends with the losers getting their limbs chopped off.

Excellent review, I laughed out loud twice! Back on form for Yahtzee it seems.
I'm sure if I played this game I'd actually enjoy it though, because I'm a big zelda nerd, and one-button combat is better than loads of combos I never bother to learn...

I laughed a lot during this review. Thanks for the fun, Yahtz!

Though I must admit, I was hoping for a "yay, this was fun" review. I've heard good things about Darksiders and Yahtzee's stamp of approval would have been like a chariot descending from the heavens to deliver unto me a thumbs up to go out and sacrifice my money to this game. Now I remain undecided. *sniff*
