Come on! Where the hell is Angelus?
First of all, this is PS3. So, game graphics are way lower than PS3 potential. It looks like an ordinary PC shooter, PS2 look like hands and fingers, guns and clothes. Not good. The outside areas look like Postal. So much 3D, not realistic.
Secondly, this is "The Darkness" for God's Sake! This is not "Punisher". All you do is killing mobs and mafia, a little some zombie Nazis that we did not see in the comic book. The most biggest enemy of the Darkness is nowhere. If there is darkness, where is the light? Where is Angelus and her angels? I have waited so long to see one, but nope, there is not any.
And in the comic book, Jackie does not need some wacko guns to control the darkness. He is the owner and darkness helps and obeys him from the start. Darkness says "Yes master, ok master". Why do we need some guns to control it? Ridiculous.
Positives:
If you haven't read the comic book series, you will enjoy the story. Despite it separates itself from the original story, it has a great different story and episodes.
Character animations, dialogues and acting are really good. It makes you feel like you are in a movie.
The gameplay is great. Despite the storyline separates from comics, the gameplay makes you feel like the Darkness and enjoy every seconds you play the game.
The sound of the Darkness and in-game dark effects and atmosphere is wonderful, dark and gothic, as the way it supposed to be.
Extras are good, you can read the comics in Extras, and in-game extras makes you do funny calls and talks and interesting mails and secrets. Just great.
Neutral:
The controls are so-so. It could be better, the gun controls are moderate and easy, but darkness controls are nice.
Final Review:
It is a 6.5. Cause I am a Darkness comics fan, and I am disappointed by the storyline. And what makes PS3 a great console are graphics and freely physics. You can see flexible physics, but the graphics are not worth PS3. So below its potential.
If you are not a Darkness fan, you will enjoy the game, but if you are a fan, buy it just if you wanna act like Darkness.
