If you're looking for a great game that you can get for a minimum of 20 dollars now-a-days you can't go wrong with this.
The Darkness stars Jackie Estacado, a gangster who works for his Uncle Paulie. Today is Jackie's 20th birthday and Paulie leaves him a present of a bomb, Jackie escapes and then dicovers that there is an ancient evil known only as The Darkness. Which allows Jackie to ravage his assailants with crazy powers like impaling them with a Demon Arm and suking them up in a miniature Black Hole. The darkness is a power that only wants 1 thing, domination. And for this to happen, Jackie needs to become so twisted that it can take over him. In the course of the game you'll go from the grungy subways of New York to the dank back alleys all the way DOWN to the pits of Hell itself. The Darkness features some truly grotesque scenes. Such as the demon heads that appear when you manifest the Darkness devouring human hearts to people getting their Gray Matter spread against the wall behind them thanks to an M16 being shoved into their mouths by Jackie. The game also features some pretty entertaining humor in the form of these little notes called Collectibles. Each one has a Phone Number that you can call and listen to a humorous phone call. There are however some points in the game that keep it from being perfect where the game presents you with a situation and does not properly explain what to do. However after some trial and error you can get through these. The game isn't exactly hard but it isn't easy so I'd say its pretty good on difficulty. The multiplayer can either be really fun or really bad. It all depends on the game mode, latency of the server and the players themselves. Some servers are super laggy, some have unbalanced game modes, and some are really fun to play on.
Over all The Darkness is a really fun game that I'd reccomend to anyone who is a fan of gore, FPS games, or of dark games with a rather engrossing story. My final score 9/10.
