The game seems to work well, but i don't have vídeos at start (before menú) and when I start a new game.I try with Wine 1.8 and Playonlinux with Wine 1.7 and 1.9. I have the same results

It's usually because videos are in WMV format. If so, you can try to install codecs and reading stuff with winetricks. I don't know how to do it with PlayOnLinux.

First, download the latest winetricks:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
Make it executable:
chmod +x winetricks
Export your wineprefix to tell winetricks where your game is:
export WINEPREFIX=/your/game/prefix
Install WMV stuff:
./winetricks devenum quartz amstream wmp10
Be sure to use wine 32bits.

Tested on Darksiders recently and worked great.

THANKS A LOT!!!!

It works. In playonlinux you can install this components in configuration. Let's kill some zombies!

Well hopefully when the new edition is released you can play it natively.
