The Darkness (2007)

Finally, a great story in a Dark World. Finally something as good as Chronicles of Riddick. Starbreeze is my hero

Oh My. That's what I said as this game started. The opening Sequence plays out like a movie, just like Riddick did. You watch a little, you play a little, Credits continue to roll, storyline begins to flesh out.

When it comes to the story, I haven't screamed out "NOOOOOOO" in a long time during a video game....unless the 360 crashed or something.

This game is well put together. A Great Story, Fantastic Graphics & Effects, even pretty good Voice Acting.

A little on the short side, but something that will stick inside your brain long after you finish. Some of the city areas get a bit tedious, and some of the Side Missions are just obvious attempts to make the game last a little longer. STILL, I really enjoyed this game.

  In the wake of Escape from Butcher Bay, Starbreeze Studios delivers in this wildly entertaining albeit short ride.
