Good fun, 15-20 hour game. Nothing like the other games at all, but it manages to be a good entry in the series.
I'm about 4 hours in so far and enjoying it. The battles are satisfying and controls responsive. However, it does feels somewhat mindless at times. Perhaps the comedic relief between episodes will appeal to most nerds/adult-children.
The game captures the gameplay from the first Darksiders, although the view is quite different. It also introduces the gunslinger Strife, with new gameplay mechanics and as comic relief for the seriousness associated with War.
Is short, it is a worthwhile experience for the fans of the series.
