The Darkness is a very good and somewhat innovative shooter. First of all, it looks alot like Chronicles of Riddick, and thats a good thing. Graphics are excellent overall.

There is one particulary graphic and disturbing cut scene which was pretty suprising, but integral to the game. Now..to the problems. Gameplay is lacking because the game suffers from some very very annoying glitches that detract greatly from the overall experience. If you take on certain side quests the game will freeze up on you in a critical moment. There is no getting past this freeze up except for going back several chapters and replaying the game with no side quests. I got that info directly from 2K games customer service.

So, I'd sy get the game, but avoid the side missions, go back after finishing the game and do them though, cause the side missions are pretty fun.
