Arguably the best comic-book based video game I've ever played.

To be honest, I didnt know that the Darkness was actually a comic book until the day that I baught it when one of my mates told me. But I started checking out the comics and their so cool... just like the game. So put it this way, if I was a fan of the Darkness comics to start off with, there would be no chance that this would of let the franchise down.

Its all the best qualitites of free-roaming, FPS shooting, mixed with the whole concept of the seedy underbelly of America (New york in particular), mixed with an impressively deep horror tale. As I said, there is alot of depth to the narrative of this game, which keeps it true to its original comic book predecessor.

The violence and the scenery is great and very realistic, the soundtrack is awsome, and the wise-cracks are great, but what I found most impressive was the whole horror twist to this game, which is so much fun;
You can suck your enemies into blackholes, impale them with razor tentacles then chuck them across a street, you can get demons that comeout of your back to eat out your victims hearts... and the abilities keeps on listing.

A very amusing and highly addictive game that broadens its horizons amongst many genres, which makes it so original... a landmark game for any lover of Playstation.
