So traded in two games from my original PS3 line up (Call of Duty 3 and F.E.A.R.) to pickup:
The Darkness puts a neat spin on the traditional FPS (first person shooter) by adding a "demonic" twist. Our anti-hero Jackie Estacado, reminiscent of the crow meets good fellas, gets a suprise on his 21st birthday: his "uncle" Pauly wants to execute him, and he releases an ancient dark curse which haunts his family. The darkness manifests itself as two snake like appendages that can be controlled and be sent out to slitther and eat people's hearts (yes very graphic yum ensues) As well as other various forms.
Video is Graphic...
The characters are decently scripted, humorous, and foul mouthed. Definitely not a game for the weak of stomach as execution style gunplay is involved as well as a proclivity for obseceneties.
Originally based on the TopCow Comic of the same name...
But the game draws you in decent, until you take a side trip after attempting to commit suicide. Jackie ends up in some warped WWII past to meet his grandfather who explains the family curse and tries to help Jackie free himself. My first play through, I tried to be sorta a nice guy, but failed I guess :P Unlocked about 80% of the game and completed it in less than 16 hours so it's rather short. Enjoyable, yet short. And the ending, at least the one I saw (not sure if there are more) kinda left me huh? it's over?? that's it? But with online multiplayer modes this one's sure to get good replay value....
Rainbow Six also soon to be reviewed once I play through all the way....
