I'm seriously considering it.
A friend described it to me as 'Zelda with God of War combat' and I was pretty much sold.
Gonna import it from the UK/maybe Play-Asia.

this game has made me late for work 2 times this week.

i just finished it and its funtastic. didnt get bored once. and some of the puzzles are quite challenging.

about 15-20 hours worth of gameplay if you dont just power through the main storyline.

Hidden: show
the very last scene of the final movie... god i hope darksiders 2 has 4 player coop... but i doubt it.

I returned it and got something not ****.

The guys at EB (and fortunately at my local store at least two of them have a clue) say it gets better later... but I'll wait for GoW3.

You're making me feel better about the fact that I'm still going through inFamous and Red Faction! Those two games will give me my open world fix for a while to come methinks.

Red Faction Guerilla? I played through the first mission for that and it didn't really suck me in, I take it it gets better though..?

Not sure how much better it gets as I've only just gone through the first one or two missions too. I just like smashing stuff and finding the things you need to collect/smash around the different maps.

I've been putting my time more into inFamous when playing alone and Borderlands when I'm playing something co-op. I'm glad I haven't finished inFamous yet... the new power recently released on PSN isn't bad.

oh yeah I loved this game to the end but I still returned it within 7 days. You're done with it after a single playthrough... it unlocks nothing. Clocking it on hard unlocks nothing. Your items/skills do not carry onto a new game.......... gay...... so you can't make yourself a god mode char unless you just grind for souls, so totally not worth doing that.

but yeah I still loved it and had a good weekend with it. there is just no reason to keep it. Still stoked I got the pre-order bonus poster tho :lol: the art work is the best part

i haven't played it much since i got it, maybe a quarter the way through, but so far i'm really enjoying it. alot. although 3rd person hack n slash/shoot em up/adventure/rpg type games are pretty much the only games i buy on my ps3.

if i don't feel its worthy to hang onto once i finish it, then i'll probably trade it towards God of War 3 if GAME do that trade 1 + $39 deal for it.

Definitely a bargain bin purchase for me then. I usually don't finish a game in less than 7 days (Army of Two 2 was an exception... but it's short as anyways and I played it in co-op so my bro did all the work - lol).

Bought this, enjoyed it for a good while until I hit the Dark Tower, then it all kind of slowed down and I haven't been playing much since I picked up Bayonetta (Most awesome 3rd person Hack'n'slash game made btw)

I recommend the game, just make sure not to buy a better game until you finish it T_T

Just tried the demo. Something about it just doesn't gel with me. I think I'm gonna stick to inFamous for my third person action fix.

Well, seeing how this game is $15 at Big W, I decided that my so so experience from the demo was probably due to a lack of story to set the scene and thus purchased the full version. I must admit, I'm quite enjoying the game. Some of the controls is a bit clunky but it's nice to have another hack n slash game next to Wolverine.

Will probably go finish Red Faction Guerrilla first though.
