Synopsis

Synopsis
Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first-person shooter that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror. Players will be taken down the brutal and personal path of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as The Darkness.

It's been two years since Jackie Estacado used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend's murder. He's been unable to shake the memory of Jenny's death since bottling up his supernatural power, and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack by a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood heralds the start of a full-scale war and opens the door for The Darkness to re-emerge, setting Jackie on a journey to hell and worse.

Features

  • Quad-Wielding Chaos – Slash, grab and throw objects and enemies with the Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons, adding a new dimension to the FPS category
  • Four-Player Co-op Campaign – Play as one of four unique characters, each capable of wielding weapons infused with Darkness powers
  • Customized ability progression – Collect dark essence to upgrade weapons and Darkness powers to suit your playing style
  • Harness an Unstoppable Power – Master the Demon Arms and summon the powers of The Darkness for even more explosive gameplay
  • Kill the Lights – The vicious powers of The Darkness manifest only in the shadows so use the environment to your advantage, and watch out for enemies who will use light as a weapon
  • Distinctive Graphic-Noir Style – Graphic novel shading and color combined with the dramatic lighting of film noir pays tribute to the source material and brings the pages of the comic series to life

Short story, great game

Posted by: from Altamonte Springs, FL on 05/02/2013Very unique and fun gameplay. Voice acting and graphics are very good. Only bad thing about the game is that it's a little short, about five hours.
