The game is fun and all but it gets to be pretty redundant a times. Lots of action and gunfights, but a horrible ending and and ok storyline.
Great game!

This is one of the best games I've ever played. If you like games that are not too hard but to easy this is the game for you. It's pretty easy to figure out. There's a lot of guns and blood. It's a game for adults. I just bought this game for about two weeks and I've played it everyday so far.
es pavo.. pero muy extrano!

This is the first game outside of the Mario universe that I actually played all the way through. I tend to get bored with games and give up on them, but this one was rather addictive. The darkness as a character was very clever and the gameplay was better than I expected. The only gripe I have is that the ending, compared to the rest of the game, was a bit on the weak side. Other than that, I highly recommend this, if for nothing else but watching To Kill A Mockingbird in game.
More of an RPG than Shooter

Well the game is obviously an FPS, but it has many game play elements of an RPG. The game tells an involving, but dark, story of a hitman out for revenge against his uncle. The controls are much like other FPS games with the added ability of controlling an ever evolving demon parasite. you level up your powers by consuming the hearts of your dead enemies. This is certianly not a game for children or people who shy away from this type of extreme violence. You might think such gratuitous violence would take away from the story. However it involves you in many side quests to help the innocent and down trodden. The game does great job of making the Main character Jackie Estacado relateable and Human. after it draws you in it takes you to the frightening depths of hell itself. The violence actually does more to show how repulsive this enemy within is than to make you say oh cool I just ripped out this guys heart. and the story does a great job explaining why you remain allied with this "enemy". The other Main plus about this game is it's openendedness. Unlike other games that have levels this game is set up more like GTA or even Oblivion where you talk to people and accept missions. You go back and forth to different parts of the city to accomplish your goals sometimes revisiting parts. to get to anouther part of the city you wait for the subway. Trains come by pretty often so you really don't wait long, but you have to watch the sign to see which track the trains comming on and be carful not to stand on the tracks because the train won't stop. This all adds to the immersion of this game. They have also left off any kind of HUD. you can tell your hurt when your vision starts to go blurry but there is no health bar. Instead of a hud map you can find information kiosks and maps signs with the typical "you are here" mark. The one complaint I have is the aiming reticule. It appears as a small dot on the screen and is hard to see. the jerky auto aim is more disruptive than anything.
Who turned out the lights?

I'm a big fan of the darkness, it's where I spend most of my time because I'm so hideous... but alas, I have my video games. The Darkness is involving and has a good story line but all the obiligatory conversations with old Itallians and phone calls with ranting strangers can seriously cut in to your 'dishing out some Darkness' time. The graphics, selection of weapons and plot make this a good game but the ability to command an army of Darklings and use manifestations of the Darkness to implode, impale and devour your enemies (lots of fun) make it a great one. I only wish it was a little longer and that finishing off Paulie had a more... 'hands on' approach.
The Darkness could be better

The Darkness is a game that is engaging yet at times restricted. The programmers could have made the game more open ended. IF your expecting a openended game like GTA than your in for a surprise, the game is good but many times in the game I feel that theres not enough. THeres not enough civilians walking about doing their business. Almost all the charactersin the subway are the same, I dont recall anyone ever coming to a subway just to be there. This game is a good game but its for one time play only.
