Synopsis

In the beginning, a magnificent kingdom was created for the angels, a dark realm was created for the demons and a world was built for mankind. When one of the legendary Four Horsemen destroyed the Earth before its appointed time, he was sentenced to be destroyed. After being awakened by the end of days, Death embarks on an epic quest to undo Armageddon, and instead discovers that Creation is facing a far worse fate.

Darksiders II thrusts you into a world balancing on the brink of destruction. Become Death himself, the most feared of the Four Horsemen, and take on the forces of the cosmos as you struggle to reverse the earthly Apocalypse. This epic universe is presented in the unique style of Joe Mad, immersing you into the open world like never before. Create your own Death by choosing between Slayer, Necromancer and Wanderer armor sets, a variety of Skill Trees and weapons, and experience the power of nearly endless destructive combinations and possibilities. Unleash deadly moves and killer agility tricks such as wall-running, ghost-handing, wall-jumping and more as you embark on dangerous side quests. As the universe teeters on the edge of destruction, it's up to you to wield the power to battle forces beyond Heaven and Hell — and uncover an ancient grudge that may run deep enough to destroy them both.

  • Experience the world through the eyes of Death, the most feared of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Darksiders II - PlayStation 3 (29 out of 31)
In line with GoW series games

Posted by: from on 05/12/2013If you like the GoW series, then this is a game for you. Otherwise, it's just a lot of repetitive moves and probably not a whole lot of replay value

Great game.

Posted by: from Arlington Heights, ill on 04/27/2013If you love the first Darksiders, your going to love the second one. It is longer, harder, faster, & twice as long as the original.

Great gameplay and story

Posted by: from Kannapolis, NC on 04/26/2013As a fan of the first game I was really looking forward to this sequel. Vigil Games did not disappoint with their final title. I can only hope that the new owners of the series do it justice with follow up games for each remaining horseman.

Great Hack and Slash game

Posted by: from MN on 04/26/2013Great game. It seemed twice as big as the original game. Big bosses and challenging game play. A lot more options with weapons and armor which also adds a new element compared to the original.

Great combat mechanics, lengthy game time!

Posted by: from Brooklyn, NY on 04/23/2013It's unfortunate that Darksiders 2's developer, Vigil Games, went under after the lackluster performance of this game. That aside, this is an excellent follow-up to their underrated original, Darksiders. Some call it a mix of Zelda, God of War, and a few other games in terms of combat and exploration. I tend to just call it a kicka** title.

A quality sequel
5
Posted by: from Dumfries, VA on 04/19/2013Darksiders 2 builds on the successful 'execution' of Darksiders 1's gameplay and storyline. Darksiders 2 focuses on Death's quest to help War after he is accused of prematurely initiating Armageddon in the events of Darksiders 1. Death has a dark sense of humor which is a nice change of pace from the seriousness of War's character. Most appealing about the new gameplay is the improved attribute system (based on equipped and upgrading weapons, armor, skills, talismans) which is evidence of a more mature focus on customization and strategy based gaming. Overall, Darksiders 2 is very enjoyable and recommended, especially for fans of the first game!
