If you enjoy being evil and commanding two evil snake-like creatures to kill and eat hearts, then you may enjoy this game. More evil than Overlord, just so you know.

XPlay gave this game a horrible rating. Complained how the aiming was done wrong, how some of the missions were based on the first person template and a poorly done story.
Thankfully I only watched that review after I bought it, played it, beat it, and was on my way to pick up all the 'side quests'. Thankfully.
This game is a lot of fun to play and a story that did not let itself to be known until it was all over. The main character's voice, I felt, was all wrong but did not distract from the fun.
During load sequences he talks about the story, the other characters you meet, amusing anecdotes, or just shows him wandering around or his guns. The timing was great since once his story was over, so was the loading time.
Not the greatest game of all time, but it does happen to be a lot of fun.
decent game

I bought this game for my son. He beat it easily so now it just sits. I hated that I paid so much for so little.

I enjoyed the demo a little, but not to really make me want the game REALLY bad. Found this one sale, and figured I would give it another chance, and I didnt get really all that much farther than I did with the demo.
Some nice visuals, but I couldnt really get into it otherwise.

I just purchased this game the other day and so far I'm glad I did. First off, the graphics are amazing. The gameplay is really exciting. Its not your typical shooter where you shoot everything you see. You speak to people and your responses affect the way the game turns out. The demons are nasty, devouring hearts of all the people that you kill. You can also use the demons to find secrets or passageways that your character would not fit in. The soundtrack sounds excellent on 5.1 surround sound. I tried playing versus on xbox live and was a little disappointed. It lagged pretty bad, im sure they will fix that soon. My only other disappointment was that it seems pretty easy so far. I recommend renting this game at the very least. Definitely not as good as Gears of War but I think it's the next best thing.
BUY THIS GAME!

The BEST GRAPHICS for the XBOX 360 available!
This game has it all. Im a huge fan of Condemned and this is pretty close besides all the demonic mess. This game will rock your sox off. The online multiplayer is fun but very laggy no matter connection speed. Great storyline hitman for the mob..etc.. Buy it! DOOO IT..DOOO IT..
Even Mike Jones shut up when he played this game !
Fun the first time

If you want a game with a pretty good storyline, amazing graphics, fun to play (the first time), and fairly short, then pick up The Darkness. Seriously, I had a blast playing through this game the first time. Storyline kept me pretty interested, though the monologue cutscenes got annoying when moving from section to section. The graphics are by far the best aspect of this game. They really immerse you in the game world. The game was pretty short (I was able to complete it in about 6.5 hours), which was a little disappointing. Overall, I would suggest renting this game like I did.
A twist on the standard FPS

Great lighting,excellent controls and engaging story.Well worth the price of admission. The story line is saprisingly fleshed out.Seemed to be about 15 to 18 hours on the hardest dificulty in the single player portion.
Accually controling an evil entity was interesting.And as long as you can keep the lights out or stay in the shadows you are shockingly powerful.
