2K - The Darkness Review

Ok, First of all...I was browsing my local gamestop and looking for a fairly inexpensive game to play and my hubby saw the this game and shoved it in my face. I looked at the front and read the description on the back(I love survival-horror games and thats what I tend to stick to) I was skeptical, but I figured I would give it a shot.

I popped it in and within minuets of starting it..I couldn't stop playing it!!!! The storyline, in my opinion is what drove this game from one point to another.I wanted to know what was gonna happened next so bad, that I would play it for hours on end. I cared about the Main 2 characters (Jackie and Jenny) very much, and it the voiceover talent was awesome.

I don't want to give alot away but these few details...you play a character called Jackie estacdo, a hitman for the mob, you gain a very special and deadly power on your 21st b-day, you spend 9/10ths of the game getting revenge..you will love it and want to play it again!!!

The only 2 downpoints to the game is...

1) It is way too short..I enjoy a good long game, and this one was over way too soon...I think they could have extended the gameplay if they would have more than the few side-missions you can do.

2) The A.I in this game was poor...I love gaming, but if I find a game to difficult, I quit and try another one..sadly, but  a plus for me, your enemies are very easy to beat on the easy level and maybe even on other levels..they often have their backs turned and things like that..while I loved it..I can see that people who like more of a challenge would get frustrated with this.

All in all I give this game a solid 9..the storyline is fresh and original, the graphics and soundtrack are wonderful, and the controls are very easy and its just a fun and great action, supernatural game to play!!
