| 21 of 25 people found the following review helpful  5 hours of a great thing, This review is from: The Darkness II [Download] (Software Download) All the hate I see surrounding this game seems to be exclusively concentrated on it's length. I have to say, it was quite short. It was also good enough to drive me to play through the whole thing again right after. The story, while only having a few predictable moments, did still manage to surprise the hell out of me at times. It was very interesting how it stylistically (gameplay wise) started out like Starbreeze's interpretation of The Darkness IP and transformed into something else. For those of you who wanted an accurate representation of the comic's tone in the first game and missed it, this is for you. It's also relieving to see a good old fashioned gib-fest shooter in the midst of all these "shoot em and watch em flop over" farces. An uzi in this game could blow a limb off. It's unrealistic and I love it.There are the glaring issue of linearity. It is quite inexcusable, even for a narrative driven title like this. If it weren't for the Darkness powers, this would...

It is done by a different studio so there are, as you might expect, some fairly major difference from the original. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as a clone with a new story does not always work out. The biggest difference is the art style, The Darkness 2 has a cell shaded motif that works for me, but I could understand some people not caring for. I played on PC and thought the controls worked well for a console port. As was the case with the original, the story and art was this games strong point, both felt real and were fun. The voice acting was generally good, but like many games got cheesy at a few points. I also thought the Vendettas part of the game is fun, though I have yet to actually try the multiplayer. The only major con for me was the length of the single player campaign, it is short. Other than that this is a great game.PROS: *Great story and art *Good controls for a console port...

Fast paced, comic book story-telling, and some nods to the comics here and there. They tried really hard to incorporate the additional arms with some success. Multi player is pretty straight forward with some missions that are similar to a hoard mode. Graphics... well, they're neat and do what intended. Cut scene movies between missions are back like the first one, but this time because the game is so linear every one is unique and with a story telling purpose. I'd call this a definite rent, but because I'd like to see Darkness 3, I pre-ordered the game. No regrets, loved the ending. |
