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

“Great game for the kiddies! ;D No, not really. But this is a pretty good game. Great sound effects, makes you jump, good storyline, and fun to play over and over. It was a bit hard to do on the upper difficulty levels, but it wasn't impossible....”
“Great game for the kiddies! ;D
No, not really. But this is a pretty good game. Great sound effects, makes you jump, good storyline, and fun to play over and over. It was a bit hard to do on the upper difficulty levels, but it wasn't impossible. This game brings back my memories of NYC. Gangs, thugs, and good looking guys with demonic creatures all around him. Though a lot of people believe that the ending was depressing, I thought it was lovely and romantic. The characters of the game have very unique personalities, especially the main characters. The Darkness, with it's controlling, manipulative, furious attitude. Jackie, with his cool, calm and collected nature. Jenny, and her sweetness that gives Jackie a little ray of sunshine. The Darklings that each bring their own type of insanity to the party, and Uncle Paulie, the loudmouth who's got a bounty on his head, even though he's unaware of it. This game is in my opinion, a cult classic. I never expected a comic book based video game to be so good. For this, it gets 5/5.”
