Darkness II

That's ok, I was just interested to hear what peoples views were and what they based their decisions on.

Graphically, its no Uncharted but the game is based on the Comic Book and maybe the graphics are fitting for the game.
As far as it being dull, its the Darkness! You didnt think you'd be going through Daisy Fields?

I would have thought that to recommend a game or not to our fellow members people would have actually played the full game, but apparently not.

Maybe Rules/Guidelines need to be set out for Voting on these.
The Demo is first level/area (Being dragged the Restaurant).

I want to play this but waiting for Lovefilm. Having played Darkness (and loved it) I don't want to fork out £40 (ish) for a game which doesn't have a very good reply value.

Still looking forward to giving it a proper bash though, demo was quite fun.

Played the full game now - love the cell-shading look of it, very much like a graphic novel. Good story and fun gameplay mechanics.

Finally a game that just lets you sit back and have FUN without too much thinking or time-wasting!

Enjoyed the demo and will pick this up at some point.

Regards game length. The fact that it as co-op means this game as a far longer life than just it's campaign length. Co-op always adds replayability.

Do you still have your copy harbour? If you do I'd love to run through the co-op when I buy it.

Yep still got MOH as well.

Bought this today. Already finished my first run. Good, fun game.

More thoughts...

Ok... this game is excellent. It looks wonderful and really captures that comic book/graphic novel feel to perfection.
The controls are accurate and despite all of the options available to you it all feels very natural. In other words - it plays like a dream.
The story telling is great, well scripted and superbly delivered by the voice actors including the Godlike Mike Patton as The Darkness.
Playing through the game was fun and well paced with the option to skip dialogue and cinematics if you so wish.

The co-op side of things is extra topping of goodness. I played through the Vendettas campaign as the very angry Jimmy Wilson and some of the things he came out with were hilarious.

This game comes well recommended from me.

Its well worth going up to people in the story and just listening to what they are saying, very well scripted in a tongue-in-cheek mobster kind of way.
