Darksiders one copies a lot of game mechanics from a vareity of popular games. From what I recall, you get a hookshot at one point, and basically a portal gun at another. I have no issues with this; As the saying goes "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery". Darksiders itself plays like a more accessable Devil May Cry - speaking as someone who didn't finish those games, but got all the way through this game. From what I recall, the original unremastered edition doesn't work on my computer. The software is just too old. This version is almost completely flawless from what I remember, except for the audio being out-of-whack in some cutscenes. While I got bored of Darksiders 2, I am coming back to Darksiders 1 to play it again. It's quite fun.
