The campaign mode may be short, but The Darkness is sick and twisted..In fun ways.
Gameplay- The gameplay is very fun. Although the majority of weapons is low, they're still fun to use and are very effective. But the best part of the gameplay, The Darkness controls. There are 5 Darkness levels, each time you increase a level you learn a new Darkness technique and learn to summon a new Darkling. Darklings are evil, little creatures that help you eliminate any enemies harming you or an threats towards you. The techniques are very fun to use, and can be very helpful throughout the campaign. I don't want to ruin the campaign for you, so I won't tell you what the techniques do, or what the different types of Darklings do. The campaign is divided into 5 chapters, each chapter has about 5 or 6 parts to the story. There are 3 campaign difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Although the campaign may be short, the story is immersive, and one of the most movie-like games I've played in a while.
Graphics- The graphics look great. The character models look very life-like, and the enviorment graphics look nice as well. Although the graphics could be better.
Sound- The sound is quite possibly the best aspect of the game. The voice acting is incredible, the only flaw in the voice acting is Jackie Estacado's (The main character you play as) voice is quite low throughout the game. The sound of the weapons sound great as well.
Value- The value is good. There are plenty of achievements in the game (50) that will make you want to go back and play the campaign again to unlock them. I personally haven't played the Multiplayer portion of the game, but I've heard from my friend and other players of the game, that is a great and fun portion of the game.
Reviewer's Tilt- My tilt for the game is about medium. I enjoyed the game's campaign mode, I got very immersed into it, and was fascinated by the story, it kept me playing the game until I reached the end. But the game didn't fascinate me enough to want to try out the Multiplayer portion, although I'm sure it's really fun.
Overall, The Darkness has a very fun, immersive, but short campaign. And the multiplayer seems to be a great portion of the game as well. The Darkness is a sick and twisted game..In fun ways that you'll love.
