The Darkness
Xbox 360 version
The Darkness
The Good
- Competent story, fantastic characters writing. Elevated by the voice-acting.
- Unorthodox gameplay for a first-person shooter, lots of NPC interactions, exploration. Gunfight is mostly good.
- Semi-open world with side-quests and pretty creative collectibles.
- One of the best musical scores in the history of video games (so far).
The Bad
- Lots of story or design decisions that are just weird or underdeveloped.
- Same goes for most of the Otherworld levels.
- The engine is held together with a duct tape and a prayer. Occasional bugs and events not working as they should.
- Why does this needs a multiplayer? Which is dead anyway.
The Bottom Line
One of a kind, despite every single bug.
