Is anyone really surprised by this score. Ive seen enough of this game to know that it wouldnt score above an 8.5 like some were hyping it to. I figured it for about an 8.2 or so.

So much for reviewers credibility.

Honestly, when people feel like throwing reviews scores in my face when I say I like such games as Black and Killzone, I'm just going to point out this.

Eh i've been wanting to try this game since I heard they were making it. I was a fan of the comics so I owe it a rental at least even if GS gave it a 3. :P

I'm so confused... Are you suggesting that we have nothing to play on the 360? ummm.... I can buy 5 games from last year and have more to play than POS3 owners will have over the next 6 months....

The Chronicles of Riddick (Xbox version, made by Starbreeze also) got an 8.5 over there. Here at GS it got a 9.3.

I'm guessing The Darkness, with this new rating system, will get 8.5.

Logic dictates that Gears of War should have flopped considering it is only 8 hours long. Is there even multiplayer though in The Darkness? If there isnt, then it would explain why Gears got such good reviews, had it lacked online then it would have flopped too.

Watch it Pal, i would expect more wise and mature words from a married person. This is disgusting, you really need help. Your hate for the PS3 is quite amazing to say the least. Also, what you say is false. There are some amazing PS3 games coming up. Were getting Lair soon, as well as many amazing games in fall. I'll just end this by remind you one more time that calling us PS3 fanboys Piece of **** is quite rude and disrespectful.

While the Ps3 will have some games which should be great theirs no denying that the 360 now and towards the end of the year beats the Ps3 in terms of quality and the amount of games it has, Idont have to worry though as i own all next gen consoles and handhelds and very nice pc.

Yep...I was definately expecting more from this game. It's not a huge disappointment, it has it's moments. I still haven't gotten to the "other" world yet & i still only have 1 of the 4 demon powers, so we'll see what happens. I feel bad for the people that hyped it too much though :|

If my agressive responce was offensive, than I appologize... However I am a strong proponent of reality and one of the biggest lies found again and again on this board is that somehow the PS3 and Wii's game library can even hold a flame to the 360's line-up of nukes... See, the 360 has already crossed over the "lilly pad" hopping from game to game in hopes of a great... we have dozens and plenty to keep up occupied for many summers....

I pre-ordered Overlord, my buddy pre-ordered Darkness we are going to finish them and then swap them, they may suck but oh, well $60 to play through 2 different games is not too bad a deal.

They both ship today and will be in the stores tommorrow.

I like how PS3 and Wii fans live in the future, what is there to play now (like today). The 360 has plenty to play now. The Darkness is not the only game coming out this summer you check it out here: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/798/798537p1.html

It doesn't matter what IGN gives it. This is Gamespot so it all matters on what Gamespot gives it. And I hope that games get an AA.
