Weekly Game Review: The Darkness

[goose_jediknight]

I too recently bought this game used pretty cheap after hearing a lot of great things about it. I loved playing through this game although I had a few complaints. Am I supposed to believe there is no pedestrian or automobile traffic in New York, even at night? The controls were clunky. The darklings would have been better suited to some sort of user directed AI (melee darkling....go find something to kill, light-killer....always seeks out lights to destroy....etc.). There was too much stopping to blast lights...recharge darkness...kill badguy...repeat. Even so I loved the concept of what hell might be like (even though it wasn't really hell). I loved getting phone numbers to call and letters to mail. I loved how the cutscenes played out in game. The voice acting was top notch if not sometimes over the top with the entire cast. I hope a sequel is made with improvements.
