Back of the Box
Darksiders is a single-player action adventure in which the player takes control of the protagonist, War. In third-person perspective, the player engages in combat, puzzles and exploration. The world is divided into separate locations with many areas at first initially inaccessible until War regains many of his lost weapons and abilities. The center of the world, The Scalding Gallow, acts as a hub where War is given new objectives and paths to further unlock new areas. Each contains a series of linear and non-linear paths, many of which require large sections of platforming, climbing and swimming along environment-based puzzles that impair progress that require the use of newly-gained abilities. He fights mainly against Angels and demons, and has a unique way to kill each particular type of enemy, usually tearing them apart painfully.

Looks much better! Your RAM and CPU can go @ ultra within this game, your HD 4000 graphics should be able to process medium graphics, with at least 30 FPS I'd say :)
Notes:
- normal resolution
- you can never be sure with integrated graphics. Also remember that the GPU is the bottleneck, but it's a laptop.......

Your chipset (Northbridge (part)) features the Intel GMA X4500 integrated graphics which should allow you to play on low with good FPS.
!!! → You've got a nice amount of RAM and a nice C2D, why don't you at least buy a graphics card like the HD 5570 or maybe 'my' HD 5670? Will mean a lot more balance :) Don't know your PSU and motherboard though....
Also looking at your native resolution, the GMA chip is a huge bottleneck!

Maybe there's a demo too?
Just my advise, hope it makes sense ;)

you can try but both your cpu and gpu is pretty weak. also you have only 1gb of ram.. its probably for the best to skip this until you get a new rig :)
