The Darkness

The Darkness comes

Hey everyone. don't care if you read this I just want to help people with any knowledge on this game. So im finally back.

First lets start off. This is a creepy game. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. For the most part the combo of Mob&Demons works well but in the limelight it could be a little brighter to appeal to other types of gamers. It's mostly revolving around vengence and killing. So in a way it can be fun but at other times it will get like "I'm tired of all these Mobsters." So for some it's enjoyable. It will occasionally mix up things by introducing a special enemy somewhere half way into the game or 1/4 I'm not sure. But it's that creepy erie feeling that helps it keep it's roots.

I'l take a quick look at the guns. Well and powers. Guns are a little out there. One powers of yours, being half demon or something like that, is the darkness guns(original name) Once you get them thats basically what you'll be using unless there is no darkness around. which you need to power your abilites. Uzis, shotguns, dual pistols, rifles. It perfect when it comes to the guns and amount of. The powers however are the mainstay of any players arsenal. The strongest is most likly the black hole. Easy to kill with, good against those sheilded foes. Then there is the arm thingy. I honestly have no idea what it is. It's a quick kill will take out some enemies if your out of ammo. Otherwise just stick to what you got, as it's not entirly useful against large groups of enemies. Will there are more but Im switching over to the multiplayer. Don't want to spoil everything.

The multiplayer sucks. Lag, pathetic game base(never anybody on), poor game types. A nice feature is the ability to play as a darkling, which you get to summon in the single player campain.

Time for my lovley round up. It's got a good solid single player, horrible multiplayer. The game goes well with its setting. Story goes smoothly though pay attention or you might miss something. I recommend to about 7/10 fps fans, and 10/10 of those emo kids. (just kidding) As for stars it's worthy of a 4/5. even for a horrible multiplayer. It's just good and the multiplayer was more tacked on so I'm going to count it out for a bit.

Dark review

This is one of those games I decided to rent even though, buying it would have only been $30 from Wal-Mart. I'm glad I did though. As I feel that this game is more of a rental than a buy. I love the dark overtone, though.

Graphics: Very dark and gritty. Just like the comic come to life. Characters sometimes have an odd texture, but they are decent looking. THe darkness are nice animated creatures that the game renders very well. Environments are just decent.

Sound: lol I love the creepy sounds of the Darkness. Mike Patton does a great job with his uber creepy voiceovers. I also enjoy the whole mobster lingo that is constantly in the game. Mature stuff.

Gameplay: More than your typical first person shooter, as you have special powers that make the game unique. My favorite was the serpent tentacles you have that can stretch to far off places and suck some un expecting smo's face right off! It's a blast, but the game is kind of short.

Overall: A dark, enjoyable experience that I think everyone should at least give a chance!

The comic book is not the only thing that rocks!

This game is so awesome! I recommend it, great gameplay, graphics and decent sound. Aiming takes a little getting used to though, hard mode could be a little "harder than medium" and multiplayer could use work. A buy for some, but sceptics should rent first.

the darkness

its a very good looking fps it has innovative features but it starts getting dragged down when you are trying to figure out where to go but all together bringing a great game that lets you summon creatures at will to kill your enemys

Jackie-Boy...

At its core, The Darkness is a slick FPS, but built upon that, is an ancient creature/entinty/thing called The Darkness. Based off a Top Cow comic book, this Run-N-Gun Rip-n-Tear game has exceeded my expectations. What I thought would be a crappy "Spider-Man 3" calibur game, was actually a very enjoyable quest. While the game can get a little frustrating with the fact there are no check points, and the mentally retarded minions who do jack sh*t, this game is a solid hit. While the story isn't much in comparison to the comic book's, this game is something that blends WWII shooters, ghetto brawls, and bloody heart eating gore feasts, in with watching "To Kill A Mockingbird" quite nicely.
