Whilst not being overly keen on FPS type games as they tend to be for people with an IQ of 90 or less,The Darkness was one of the games that came when i bought my PS3 system back in 2007. I hadheard of the comic books of the same name and was intrigued about the story more than anything else. It blew me away, it seriously was one of the best games on the PS3 at the time (until of courseMGS4 came out). Sure the AI is a bit lacking, but most games AI tend to be poor. I still play this game even to this day, i love it. :)

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?

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 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.

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

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.

awsome graphics, pretty good story line, not like most 1st person shooters, and the battles get rarely intense, though it is still a kick ass game

The game was good but the online play was retarded no one even played thats how retarded it was! I went online everyday for a week and no one would show up. The game was good i loved the powers the main character had and the story was also good(it made me go out and buy the comics).

I walked into playing The Darkness not knowing anything about the story or charaters and upon finishing wanted to know more. The graphics will not disapoint. They crafted a very realistic next gen title. My only complaint is that there were times when it was hard to see anything after shooting out the lights. The Darkness has some really cool gameplay ideas, the darklings, and the black holes were used very well giving you a sense of the comic book. The cutscenes really made you feel like apart of their world.I acually cared for the charaters when i could make sense of things. There are to many times where i may not have known what to do next, just to find out that i neeed to turn left to move on. Well, Nobody can say theirs a lack of great shooters out there and while most shooters are the same old "We have Great Graphics and Next Gen Gameplay", few really deliver on that promise. The Darkness delivered on being next gen but i just felt lost at times and really wanted more action. Saying that, it is a great game and i do reconmend as a weekend rental.

the storyline lacks plot, which is what i think they were going for since gameplay is so boring. plus the online play looks like a ps2 game and its not as fast paced as you may think
