Darksiders 2
When Darksiders came out there was some controversy over the
gameplay. Many accused Darksiders of leeching off of the successful formulas of
other franchises. A new that came up over and over again was The Legend of
Zelda. And with the release of Darksiders 2, many worried the sequel would
continue the questionable practices of the first game. But do you want to know
what I think? Get over it, people. The question shouldn’t be whether or not a
game does the same thing as others. If one were to bash a game for that then
just about every other game out there would be rubbish. Prince of Persia ,
Assassin’s Creed, Drake’s Deception, heck, even Super Mario can be compared to
similar platfomrers. And just because there are many elements in common, does
that make all these game bad? No. Call of Duty, Metal of Honor, Battlefield,
all very similar games in most respects. Are they bad games or derivative copies?
Nope. So what gives? I’ll tell you. What’s
important is that a game adds its own twist to something that’s been done
before. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is almost the same as the original at its core,
but it’s the tweaks, twists, and improvements that set it apart. So now that we
have that sorted, it’s time for the actual review. I’ll explain why Darksiders
2 is a pretty good game, and one you should consider adding to your library if you enjoyed the original
, and yet isn’t among
the greats out there.
