A gritty and impressive action/adventure
User Rating: 8 | The Darkness X360
From the intro car chase to the character depth describing the main protagonist; The darkness displays a very cool mature trip into the graphic novel that gave inspiration to this game. You play a role of a mob hitman who along the way lost a part of yourself (sort of speak) and alot of people in the process and due to that gained very powerful demons that seems to love you guessed it....the darkness! The story line though it lacks in some areas; still makes the character...you get to understand his world and where he was coming from, to where he died and reborn in the darkness; the people around him are just as much darker than the demons themselves but still have that type of humanity which in some cases the game puts out every now and then. As far as "Graphics" the level of detail is simply pretty damn good you can see the detail in the characters expressions which is fleshed out and the design quality is top notched...you will see that in some aspect on the FMV scenes which you will like; The flaw with this game is pretty much the same flaw with most FPS games...too short. This game is really good and you move thru the levels trying to understand the story and just when the story get's REALLY good...the game's over! Hopefully a sequel will be made cause in the end this is a very fun game and even though this game isn't perfect like "Bioshock" its still a good game to pick up either to rent or buy...check it out.
