The Darkness is a worthwhile game that should be at least rented, if not bought.

I personally found this game to be a surprising combination of other video games like Prey, Call of Duty, and F.E.A.R. It has a lot of the creepy weapons from Prey, the health and battle system of it was very similar to that of Call of Duty, and it has the clean-cut creepiness of F.E.A.R. If you're a fan of the comics, you'll understand the awesome plot right away. If you're not a fan of the comics (which I'm not), you have a great time figuring out how The Darkness came to be, why it wants to control you, and why Hell is the way it is. The voice acting was some of the best I've seen in years. The action was creepy and at the same time very well pursued. Almost all the aspects that people want to find in the game were very close to perfect. But there were a few problems with the game that I could mention. The multi-player seems like it didn't have enough time spent into it. It's very laggy and barely has any tactics from the single player game that makes this game The Darkness. Also, there are a few bugs, and they appear when you don't want them to. When you're in the heat of battle and your gun won't work because of some kind of bug and then you die all of a sudden, you might get a little ticked off. Finally, the ending was one of the worst I've seen. If a game builds up like it did, then it should come out with some sort of ending that will tie up loose ends. Instead, you're just laying there... And that's it. I know that they need to open it up for some sort sequel, but come on, it could've been better than that. But other than that, it gives you a lot to do, the side quests are somewhat abundant, it's very interactive, and the fighting is put together very well. So, if you liked one of the three games I just listed, then I strongly recommend the game that is, The Darkness.
