I am deciding between Ninja Gaiden Sigma and The Darkness, I just want to know how the game is.

Good polish? Not terribly glitchy? Intense firefights? All fot these things are essential.

I find The Darkness to be superb. I'm having loads of fun with it right now, and I'm very glad I bought it.

What? You haven't bought The Darkness? What a sin! ;)

Seriously, if you must, skip NGS and get The Darkness.

Outstanding story. Very atmospheric. Beautiful graphics.

Buy it now!

The Darkness is really fun, but only for the 10 hours it lasts. I'd say rent it... you'll be done with it soon enough. As for Ninja Gaiden Sigma, I can't comment. Just know the Darkness is great fun, but it doesn't last very long.

For me, The Darkness is too much of a movie, too much less of a game. There's no doubt the visuals and presentation are top notch if not the best ever seen on the platform, however, the slow paced and too many cutscenes, make this one a beautiful slide show. Moreover, the lifetime of this one is merely 10 hours and the multiplayer is nothing to write home about. So final verdict is - Rent.

The main storyline definitely has some length to it, though, so even if you ignore all of the extra little elements, you'll still feel like you got your money's worth out of the game. Thanks to a handful of especially mind-blowing sequences and well-crafted plot twists, you'll feel like you've covered a ton of ground by the time you reach the game's final confrontation. Gamespot


By your achievements you just pasted the first level... I just started the last chapter and well I don't have a clock counting time beside me but I have probably played for more than 12+ hours. Play it on hard and it will last it alot longer.

Gamespot just gave it a 8.5, not bad at all, but they cut and pasted the same review for the PS3 version.

This is one of the more surprisingly good games that have come out for the 360 probably all year. you'd do yourself a great disservice if you didn't at least rent it if you're interested in a game with a good story, great presentation and more to offer than just running around and shooting crap.
