I'll be honest. This game was so frustrating and the controls were so awkward. The concept was so abstract, which is good, but not when it's presented so poorly. Your character should have a huge ? above their head, you don't know what your doing, you just have to get lucky, or explore everything. The graphics are ok I guess. I was on the last boss and the game froze during a load after dying, and erased the game, anyone want to buy it off me?

Oh my..

This is one of the best ps3 games i've played so far. In "The Darkness" you play as an italian mobster named Jackie who is a hit-man for the franchetti crime family, oh did i mention, he also has the power to have a giant demon arm come out of his gut, make a creepy darkness snake crawl around on the floor, walls, ceiling, etc. And the power to tear a hole in reality and make a black hole! Not to mention that he can weild a variety of weapons, summon darklings, and knows how to hold a vendetta against his uncle, who by-the-way tried to violenty PWN3 him via explosion.

i thought this was a good game

i liked this game because it follows a comic book series and it had a good storyline and it was pretty fun like hidden items thing the phone messages are funny.

not as great

whats up guys im back with another review so here you go. i thought this game would be great but it just barely makes a 3 well atleast on the ps3. the graphics are good but the controls are terrible or maybe it's just the ps3 controler i dont know. there is just to much to do with the darkness monsters and it can leave you confused. it's ok but not great that's it that all

Everyone has a dark side

When i brought this game home i thought, hey whats better than a shoot em up kinda game, with evil monsters? Well Its more than that! ALthough this game is very violent, it provides a very indepth storyboard that lets us look into the souls of humans. Graphics arent amazing, but they get the job done.
