The botched attempt sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself.

If, like me, you were a diehard fan of The Darkness, you may not be quite as impressed with The Darkness II as most people. First of all, The changed virtually every major characters voice actors, the Graphics took a giant leap backwards, in fact I honestly think they should be ashamed at how poor the graphics quality is on a PS3... it might as well be a PS2 game and the whole comic book cel blending thing has been done to death, and this franchise didn't need it at all, it just somehow takes a cool game and makes it childish. Overall the gameplay is decent, about the same as the original with a few differences. To me the story was very disappointing, especially after the ending of the first game. Still, it's a fun game, but it just doesn't live up to the original.

the darkness 2 is a great game but it is way too short, the story is fantastic and there is lots of action but i still liked the first one better. Maybe there will be a darkness 3?

I though the first Darkness was great but part 2 blew it away. This game has an awesome comic book/ realistic feel to it. Its extremely gory, has an awesome story line, great graphics, and tons of replayablity. They definately got the way the darkness should be portrayed correct in this game. After you finish the game they even let you play another set of vendetta campaigns and use the new game+ feature. This game is a must buy for anyone who likes The Darkness and wants a fast paced and ultimately fun game.

This game could scare you. Maybe not. You should play it in thr dark and then see how you feel. It will put you in a state of mind that makes you look another from left to right and behind you but don't forget in front of you. get ready for the fight of your life.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

I've played the first one for couple of hours and quit, it was something wrong with it. Darkness 2 is a different story, much better gameplay. the game has everything you can ask for - shooting, gore, some horror, it is also funny. You can upgrade your superpowers and to some extend your weapons. There is so many ways you can kill someone and receive different reward for it. This is the type of game that once you start playing the game you don't want to stop, but secong platythrough is a maximum I wold do just because of the "game plus" After the second playthrough I was done. Well, there is a mini game called vandetas which is also nice, different but interesting to play.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

Pros: quad combat, reset option, fill you in, online play and new plus
Cons: short single player, no real cover, needs to be more agile
This game was worth preordering

If you missed out on the first game then it is fine because this game does a good job feeling you in on what happen previously. Sad story does not equal a horrible story, yet it is short. Can probably beat single player mode between 5 to 15 hours, but the online play makes up for it and gives it more replay value. Especially when you throw in a new plus mode.

You can carry 2 small weapons in which you can use at the same time and one big weapon. You have 2 darkness arms to melee people with and grab onto stuff to throw at your enemies or use it as a shield. If you mess up on your skill tree don't worry you can reset it at a small cost without having to start your game all over again.

One thing that really bug me is that cover mechanics are non existent and it is not all that agile. You can sprint but only forward. Maybe they should have added a rolling feature or something.

The darkness #1 was my first ps3 game. so i had to check out the sequel. And to my surprise it was amazing. The delicousness of all the evil is what makes it so good. The graphics are pretty good. think its cell shaded in some aspects. Overall time to complete single player was like 6 hours. Fairly easy throphies if u are in to that sorta thing. Some parts in this game make u wanna just keep going. a bit predictable also. Overall the graphics are good. sound is great. gameplay is easy and yet tricky. about 6 hours or less for a hardcore gamer. 10+ for casual. would recommend this to anyone who wants to have fun being the bringer of darkness.

the first one was really good..for all those people who said it looked bad and they couldnt see....make the gamma brighter and it looks 100 times better, the graphics are really good considering it came out in 07..just finished it again and it still holds up. The demo was really good so im sure the real game will be great.
