This game looks wicked awesome. It's available for both PS3 and 360, but I figured I'd throw it into PS3 seeing as you guys have em
So.. this is all from trailers and write ups I've seen on the game. I don't actually have it yet, but I'll be getting it very soon.
Basically, The Darkness is a horror game with a bit of a twist.. you're the horror. You play as Jackie Estacado, a mafia hit man who gets into some trouble with his boss, and an attempt is made on his life on his 21st birthday. Jackie survives and gains one hell of a power - The Darkness. The Darkness manifests itself in these friendly, fun loving worms with foot long teeth that appear on either side of you in the FPS screen. Also, there's a catch to the Darkness - in order for the Darkness to be at full power, you need to be in.. well, in darkness. The darker it is, the more badass you become. You can use the Darkness for a variety of different tasks, like sending out tentacles to smash lights.. or simply reaching out to touch someone. With previously mentioned foot long teeth. As you may have guessed, the game is super violent, with heads getting bit off and whatnot. Apart from the Darkness, you'll also be doing FPS shooting with your standard guns, and from what I've seen, perhaps something more than said standard guns.. in addition to this, Jackie can also spawn Darklings, these little guys who crawl around on all fours to do your bidding. You can send them to do things like open up otherwise inaccessible pathways. Or to kill. And they're very creative in the ways they kill.
So, all in all, this game looks really amazing, and the graphics I've seen are really something else. I'm getting it ASAP. So what about you guys? Ever given this game any thought?
