The Darkness (PS3)

“What I liked:
- The story. Incredible from start-finish, supported both audibly and visually. Very nice adaptation of the comic book into one, cinematic gameplay experience. I like how the story was told, and how it ends, and you realise why it's being recounted.
- In terms of first-person shooters... This one's quite different. The Darkness adds to the experience.
- Being the nightmare. Plenty of horror games let you run in fear from something horrific. Very few let you actually play as the horror.
- Visually pleasing for the most part; especially the blood...

What I didn't like:
- Distinct lack of anti-aliasing. I have to give it somewhat of a break here, as apart from this it's a pretty good-looking game, and whilst it wasn't a launch title, it was still very early in the development cycle.
- Purple wisps / change of colouring when the Darkness was equipped was supposed to make me feel like the darkness was my friend, but I think it ultimately detracted from the visual feel of the game.”

“Liked playing this game a lot. But why did it have to be so short?”
