User Rating: 9.6 | The Darkness PS3
The Darkness is a non-stop action packed shooter. I love the guns, I love the powers, I love the presentation, I LOVE THIS GAME. The graphics are above par, but they won't drop any jaws. The story is fairly good and engaging and as I said the action is intense. You start off the game just being a hit man for your "uncle" who happens to be the don of the mob. This being human thing is pretty entertaining, but the real fun starts when you get your powers. You get four powers in all, which come to you one at a time. They include, in order Creeping Dark, Demon Arm, Darkness Guns and finally Black Hole. Creeping Dark allows you to take control of one of the snake like monsters at your side. You can slither pretty fast to take out your enemies. This power also acts a certain puzzle solving ability, as you can imagine. My favorite power would be Demon Arm, which gives you control of a demonic tentacle that you can impale your enemies with or throw things with. Very fun. The Darkness Guns are simply powerful guns and the Black Hole conjures up a black hole to suck your enemies in. None of these powers ever get old, nor does the fear that each of them creates. This game has some really spooky moments, particularly while inside the demonic WWI setting. There are some problems. Multiplayer just sucks and the single player is really short. I didn't find the darklings all that useful and hardly used them. But this game is a blast, so check it out.
