User Rating: 9.5 | The Darkness X360
You start the game as Jackie Estecado, a mafia hitman who works for his Uncle Paulie. Eventually Uncle Paulie betrays you, because he thinks you want to be the leader. So you start fighting your way out of Uncle Paulie's men. But the twist is, The Darkness. The Darkness is a demonic force that picks a human host. The power system is really good. The gameplay is mostly a FPS, but some parts make the game seem like an RPG. You have to find these phone numbers that give you extra content if you enter them in a phone. Some parts also have letters. There are some side quests, which makes the game more of an open environment. You can pretty much go anywhere. The environments are really detailed and big. The multiplayer is the thing that sets it back. So far it's been nothing but lag. In multiplayer you can be a darkling, one of the darkness creatures, or a human. The game types are CTF, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, or Survivor. The summary is, it's awesome. The multiplayer would be better, if not lagging so much. The single player game is fantastic. Definitely a buy!
