I expected this score, most sites have this in the AA department. Starbreeze dropped the ball slightly, Riddick is still better...

Well then AA I guess. It met most peoples score expectation.. Especially after IGN gave it a 7.8.

The medal thing is actually pretty cool now that we have a good example of it.

That is about exactly what I thought it would get, and a very solid score it is as well. My PS3 version is on the way. Can't wait.

Not a suprise to me. I was pretty interested in this game back when info came out about it. Looks like I am going to have to get a new console in order to play it. I am waiting on a price drop though.

Maybe just slightly higher.. Not sure someone do the match.

"The Darkness is available on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, and the differences between the two versions are pretty minimal. The PlayStation 3 version seems to have slightly better color than the 360 version, but the 360 version looks a bit sharper. Also, the Xbox 360 version has achievements, and the PlayStation 3 version gives you the same tasks, but calls them accomplishments. Regardless of what you call them, they're evenly spread, with a few that come from winning more multiplayer matches than you'll probably be willing to endure. Overall, both versions are equally recommendable."

dude, rushed ps3 ports during the system launch are over, but there still might be lazy ports from UBISOFT though.

I would give it an 8.0. I just finished this game.

Everything is truely awesome about this game, xcept for the gameplay. It gets really, really repetitive. But everything else (story, voiceacting, graphix, creepyness) is topnotch.

Just because the colour on the ps3 version are better doesn't mean the 360 ones are washed out :S were did you even read that part in the review?

I guessed an 8.0, so that's pretty good. Still only worth a rental though, from what I've been reading all around. But it will make a damn fine rental.

I wonder if the 360 version would have scored a few points higher if they used the old scoring system.

I've been playing it, and although I'm still in the early stages, I agree with the review completely... especially the voice acting. The voice acting is some of the best in recent memory... and the darkness it creepy as hell.

not really ...a lot of people complained " this game is repetitive , I played it " so they were either lemmings or cows and I doubt hermits waste their time with this.

not really following this title. That's a decent score, but I'd have to see a big price drop before picking up that title.

I think the game is more of a rent for me, multiplayer doesn't really intrest me and since the Darkness has a fairly short campaign i think i could finish it in a few days.
