First Darksiders II Reviews land...

The first Darksiders 2 review scores have arrived ahead of its worldwide release in the next week, and following positive Sleeping Dogs review scores, it's looking like THQ's set to deliver another essential summer purchase.

First out of the hat is GamesMaster, which issues the Vigil-developed sequel 88% and summarises that it's "a jaw-dropping epic adventure within a scythe-swing of equalling Zelda's brilliance". The original Darksiders is "barely fit to hold a candle" to the sequel, it concludes.

Elsewhere X360 magazine's given Darksiders 2 90% and Play has gone with 86%.

THQ announced back in March that every Darksiders 2 pre-order will get a Limited Edition of the game at no extra cost. As well as the game, the Limited Edition will contain a code to download Argul's Tomb, the game's first single-player downloadable content pack, for free once it becomes available.

Darksiders 2 is out in Europe on August 21 and in North America tomorrow. A Wii U version will follow later this year.

cant wait for Darksiders 2, the first one was quality and was one of the few games that had me sit and play though twice consecutivley, the sequal looks as good as well roll on next Friday

I loved the first but I can't remember ever finishing it Been really excited about this but I think it'll have to wait till after Sleeping Dogs

the final boss on Darksiders was a bit of a letdown lol, and it ended with all 4 horsemen defeating evil and overturning the gods powers to restore balance and save Earth.

then i cant remember what exactly but there was something and a sequal was more than obvious. beleave it had something to do with the Demon you saved early in the game who helps you (looked like the Devil)

^ spoiler alert ^



I have the first to play courtesy of PS+

Its a good game mate, certainly one I can see you enjoying
