This is sweedish develpopers "starbreeze" debuet title for the 360 and i must say they have done one hell of a job. Starbreeze were responsable for the amazing riddick game for the xbox so i had high hopes
You start the game off riding in the back of a taxi with fellow mafia members being chased by cops. Next thing you know your good freind has been killed by a lorry passing by and squashing his face and your other mafia member has fliped the car and killed himself.
The darkness is about a man called jackie who on his 21st brithday has inherated the family curse the darkness. Jackie doesnt undertsand the darkness but will learn more as the game progresses.
The game is set in manhattan and i must say its great its almost like a sandbox game you have to use the subway to get to destinations you can get lost and have fun inbetween if you must. As the game progresses you learn your uncle paulie head of the mafia group is after you hes got all his man on your trial.
Aswel as manhatan you also play in the hell world a barren no mans land war striken land were you will encouter nazi's and the alias. You also meet your great great great grandfather there who gives you advise on the darkness. You can also summen creatures called darklings who can help you in your quest
The darkness tries to control jackie and jackie's objective is to try and defeat it. Jackie's girlfried was killed by uncle paulie and the darkness's demon tenticles stoped jackie from saving her and instead made him watch her get murder. This caused jackie to kill himself thus entering him into the hell world. The darkness is a parasite and needs a host to live on so the darkness has placed jackie in hell until it can be fixed again.
Using the darkness power is great fun you can press LB to do stealth kills. You use one of your tentical heads to sneak around people and then devore their hearts! Trust me this game has plenty of gore! As you progress you gain more darkness power like the power to create black holes to suck enemys into. The shooting is accurate and you can duel wield SMG and pistols aswel as using a shotgun. 1UP just gave this game 9/10 and that is a fair score i would agree with them i think this is my favourite game of 2007 so far and a must have for any 360 gamer
--pros--
great storyline one of the best on the 360
online multiplayer
graphics are great
attention to detial is amazing
solid ganeplay
--cons--
in the hell world its hard to undertsnad what is going on
not too many wepons
some of the eneimies are damn stupid
9/10
I tried not to give too much away but truest me 360 owners buy this on the 29th
