Beautiful Game

User Rating: 9.5 | The Darkness X360
The Darkness is without a doubt one of the most underrated games on the xbox 360. Based on the comic series, The Darkness tells the story of Jackie Estacado, a young hitman who receives evil powers on his 21st birthday thanks to a family curse that goes back generations. Thats about all I can say without spoiling parts of the story so I'll just sum up the game now.

Visuals: The Darkness has excellent graphics, the faces of the characters look amazingly real and the weapons and environments are perfectly shaded and detailed. Another area where this game excels is the gore. Sometimes you just feel guilty about pulling off that headshot because it leaves your target without a face.

Audio: Sounds are pretty clean and real, especially when your walking around the subway stations with the trains bustling and the different things going on.

Story: The story is pretty good and, from what I have seen, keeps the feeling of the comic books.

All I can say to finish is that this game is very underrated, even with its good score from gamespot, and is definitely worth buying.
