Looking forward to this game. I've heard a few people have negative views because it really doesn't do the source material justice from a theme point of view, but it does look pretty good.

I picked this up tonight and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been more talk about it

Looks like an updated version of God of War. Even the weapon and moves are similar.

Not that that is a bad thing. GoW ruled!

But yeah, basically taking popular mythology (sorry for offending anyone) and making it epic for the gaming system. Bosses a few stories tall, movie type battles, crazy environments.

P.S. Is GoW III ever going to be released? It's funny that I just got my PS3 years after it's been released and the two games I wanted it for aren't even out yet. (GoW 3 and FF13) Both have been pushed back many times. There were rumblings for both of them near the original PS3 launch I believe.

It's a complete clone of God of War. Not in the sense that they're similar games, but every last little detail is exactly the same (green/blue chests for health/mana, same "soul" upgrade system, controls are almost identical right down to stuff like "hold down strong attack button to lift enemies").

I'm sure it's a half decent game, but it's pretty odd to see a huge gaming company like EA blatantly rip off a game. It's understandable for some small devs who are just doing whatever they can to sell a few copies, but I expect more from EA.

From what I've heard, the game is offensive just for the sake of being offensive.

^^^ Ahhh see, without looking at anything other than the trailer I was getting that feeling.

Sucks that it is THAT close. I'm sure they could have come up with some interesting ideas re: upgrades and health/mana etc.

Everything being exactly the same could make it a little boring.

Ja, I've read that too, the question was a little more rhetorical as it's been pushed back so many times and could possibly be again. I just meant to express my excitement for it's release...

But thanks anyway.

Still, DI could be worth a rental at the least.

Worth a rental only. It's ok, cool premise to start, really good at the start introducing characters etc. It gets repetitive pretty quickly. Still fun for a hack and slash, the boss fights are pretty slick, upgrading moves etc is pretty simple and happens quickly.

If you had to chose between this and Darksiders, get Darksiders. After I was initially a bit skeptical that game got pretty awesome.

This game is EPIC! The first boss is so cool, can't wait until I play more of them.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this game was probably developed by horny 14 year olds. Freaking boobs everywhere. Dead chick boobs.

Great review of Darksiders (NSFW language) http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vide...404-Darksiders
