Darksiders on PS3

Darksiders Screen Shots

Darksiders is a Fighting game available on the PS3. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Darksiders is a Fighting game. Fighting games revolve around the interaction of two or more characters in some form of physical combat. Players learn to control characters through either memorisation of button combinations to access more advance moves, or by their reactions and accurate timing.

Darksiders can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Darksiders can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Frugal Gamer review Thu, 17 Dec 2009

Inspired by the themes and mythology of the apocalypse and armageddon detailed in the Book of Revelation, Darksiders for the PS3 and Xbox 360 is a spectacular game depicting the battle between heaven and hell. This third person action/adventure experience sees you taking on the role of 'War', one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and battle through vengeful angels and evil demons in order to discover the truth behind this celestial conflict. Darksiders gives you a vast variety of weapons to spectacularly take the fight to the hordes of hell and with a mix of fast-paced gameplay and level exploration; this is a biblical experience you won't want to miss.

As an antithesis to recent games, which have started to introduce a morality system into their gameplay and story, Darksiders gleefully ignores this element of choice and has you playing the part of 'War' one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The setup of the game sees you and your other three cohorts prematurely bringing about the Apocalypse, sending the world into chaos and, as a consequence, having you stripped of your powers and abilities. War is then sent back to Earth to rectify the problem and find out how he and his fellow horsemen were misled and betrayed.
