After Bayonetta, this game seems to come even more out of nowhere and it's looking great:
IGN UK Ratings for Darksiders (PS3)
| 9.0 |
Presentation
It's an incredibly polished game that's of consistently high-quality in virtually every area. |
| 9.0 |
Graphics
Vigil has crafted a stunning world that's brought to life with colour, imagination and minute attention to detail from character design to animation. |
| 8.0 |
Sound
Music is suitably bombastic in battle, atmospheric elsewhere and voice work is rock solid, if largely unspectacular. |
| 8.5 |
Gameplay
Huge variety means that while some aspect aren't as strong as others, the core components of fighting and puzzling are masterfully handled. |
| 8.5 |
Lasting Appeal
On average difficulty there's a 15+ hour adventure here and plenty more if you want to hunt out Darksiders' myriad secrets. |
8.9
Great |

IGN AU review: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/105/1057666p1.html
IGN aren't the only ones who seem to like it. The game has a Metascore of 89 after 7 reviews (PS3) at the moment with the lowest being a 80.
I'm impressed and I think I need to get this sooner rather than later. What about you ?
