The darkness is bloody, brutal and is as M as games get. But it also has a touching story.

User Rating: 9 | The Darkness X360
Gameplay 9/10
Starbreeze has a way with all there games and that way is darkness. Jackie is a lot like riddick but the main thing is that they both are most powerful in the dark. While the guns are fun to play around with, later in the game they are pretty much reduced to lightbulb shooters, I mean with the darkness arm, guns and the black hole most basic guns are useless.Aside from that there are slight framerate issues, but nothing that will stop you from loving the over the top violence and compelling plot.

Graphics 10/10
From the subway stations to the city and even the depths of hell, the darkness is a fantastic looking game. And it's the little things that really shine like the ability to look down and say" I have feet!!" but also the look and feel of the darkness is constantly reminding you that this game is totally awesome and one of the best looking games out there.

Sound 10/10
Terrific voice work and the chilling croak of the darkness keep you on the edge of your seat for the somthing like 18 hour ride.Guns also sound great as well as the sound of breaking glass and hearts being ripped out.

Value 8/10
The single player is amazing and worth going through multiple times, but the multiplayer is pretty much dead now so it depends if you like single more then multiplayer games.

The good
One of the most brutal games you can play and it's also one of the most beautiful,Heartfelt story that deals with loss and revenge,Truly satisfieing in every regard (save for the multiplayer), The darkness gets my vote as #1 super villian.

The bad
Some slight framerate issues,Over the top violence and the sometimes pervasive swearing might not be for everyone.
