The Darkness 2


I knew this game was coming out and I bought it the day it did but it seems to have went under the radar for most people. I've recently replayed this and it's fantastic. Unlike before though you are the lesser of two evils and a lot of the game is of you battling the darkness as well as a secret organization called the Brotherhood. They are lead by a right creepy bastard called Victor Valente who has been driven mad and wants to control The Darkness to conquer the world.

Victor Valente
You're still pretty bad-ass yourself as it's not mentioned that you're saving the world, you just want to get revenge on Valente and The Darkness for annoying you so much. Much of the more complicated aspects of gameplay from the original are sacrificed for a more easy flowing story and what an amazing story it is. The Darkling looks pretty cool too and makes for some great comedy relief in the game.


My only criticism is I think there should have been some more time spent in Hell as I love a game set in Hell. I like seeing game developers' different interpretations of hell, the main thing that seems to be consistent is the colour red. I love the weird hell creatures too.


I think we need this to be a trilogy.
