DESCRIPTION
Based on the Top Cow comic, The Darkness is a mature, Mafioso adventure, set in modern times but steeled by ancient magic. Players take the leading role of mob hit man Jackie Estacado, who acquires supernatural powers known as "The Darkness" as he reaches his 21st birthday. Gameplay involves exploration and combat through interactive, destructible New York City environments. The plotline is balanced on conflicts between Jackie's ambitions and his family's underworld entrenchment, and on the conflicts between Jackie's own human personality and that of his supernatural side. The Darkness was developed by Sweden's Starbreeze Studios, which gained much positive recognition for its 2004 Xbox and PC game, The Chronicles of Riddick. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I was very pleasantly surprised by this game--very enjoyable, and a challenge (but not impossible) on the harder difficulty. Multi-player achievements seemed tedious, but boosted easily enough (time-consuming, but doable). Plus I'm a big Mike Patton fan, so his participation (voicing the Darkness itself) made me very, very happy.”

“I was expecting a generic shooter but this is so much more. Engaging storyline, the Darkness powers are really fun, and Mike Patton rocks ;)”

“I'm so close to getting 1000/1000 on this game...only 60 wins away from The Don! Alas, the servers are nearly always empty. If anyone wants to help me out, I'll gladly trade win for win.”

“You know for a comic book based video game this one is suprisingly 1) Bloody and 2) Fun. A few minor negatives (aiming ain't always so spot on), but this one is a definate recommendation. ”

“Somewhat underrated, The Darkness combines a few different clever mechanics to give the FPS experience it's own unique twist. Light and shadow, dual wielding, darkness powers and not-quite-linear levels, plus loads of storytelling. A solid game.”
