Very nice details - good story.
User Rating: 7.4 | The Darkness X360
Its rare now a days with these next-gen games to have a decent OFF LINE story mode, but Darkness has done just that. The game is abit confusing at first when you step into it - and the controls are abit odd... but the game slowly starts to grow on you... if you allow this to happen you are going to be in for a twisted right of horror as you start to find things out about your past. The gun play is decent, not the best, nor is there any type of tactical covering system in the game to conceal you from enemy fire - but who needs that really when you're harvesting the powers of darkness, provided you stay away from the lite. The darkness powers are decent, you'll be happy when you unlock most of the abilities. The game makes sure it avoids all repeatativeness and keeps you busy listening to what the main character has to say about the storyline during loading times - very nice touch by the way. The guns don't seem to handle like real - or have any real feel to thatm for that matter, but it doesn't bother you very much once you start to use all of your powers. The controls of the creeper are abit annoying - you are unable to look around freely and I feel traped in crappy controls while running around as one - unlike the first footage they show you of the creeper killing the man behind the tome-stone in the graveyard, if it had free controls like that I'd be impressed. The graphics of the game are decent, and the programing seems to have been done well - but when looking into the mirror the programming starts to suffer abit in the framerate department. You'll really enjoy the storyline of the game.
