![]() The campaign itself isn't very long, around the 6 hour mark. ![]() You can stay in the light for a brief period, but your demonic side disappears and your self-healing powers no longer exist, so best to stay in the dark if you know what's good for you. This is of course your kryptonite, and as the game progresses, you will learn to take out lights, while avoiding enemies throwing light bombs and carrying torches. Whatever you do stay out of the light! (hence the name The Darkness) as you are reminded by your inner demon. In fact you can (with the right upgrade) pick and throw the Darkling at enemies to keep them occupied whilst killing someone else. You can pick up objects and throw them at enemies, resulting in impaling, slicing or blowing them up. I found slashing the best way to kill multiple targets. There is a reasonable choice of weapons, but none are particularly accurate. Skipping the cinematic/cut scenes is easy so you don't have to follow the mediocre story line if you don't fancy it. #All weapons in the darkness ii full#There is plenty of gore and the action is pretty full on. It doesn't even try to be realistic, except for the bad language. The actual look of The Darkness 2 is a sort of graphic novel look which suits the game well. Then again Assassin's Creed: Revelations did well and I thought it was a mediocre game. OK it's never going to be up for game of the year (in my opinion). Apart from that, the rest of the game is not bad. This is the guy who helps you throughout your progress, but why did they use a mockney BRITISH accent? We all know our colonial cousins think we live in Mary Poppins land but WTF is this stupid accent all about? (Curse DickVan Dyke and his chimney sweep accent). Not all gangsters swear all the time I am sure (not that I know any mind).Īnother element I also found annoying was the voice over for the DARKLING character a sort of cross between Golem and a monkey. OK most of us swear and it seems to be the norm these days, but I found the use of it excessive and unwarranted. I did think the use of bad language was somewhat extreme. There are plenty of glitches and animation faults, but nothing bad enough for an early termination of game play. ![]() Those experience points can be used to buy more upgrades which will then increase your killing creativity, and it certainly gives the game a new degree of excitement and element of originality.ĭon't get me wrong folk's, this is not the perfect FPS game, it does have its flaws. ![]() This element within THE DARKNESS II™ is the most fun, as you receive experience bonuses for imaginative kills. Jackie has the use of both arms for carrying and shooting weapons including Dual Wield mode which is cool, and to top it off he has the two large tentacles which are great fun to use, ripping up opponents and tossing them asunder. ![]() OK the plot is pretty thin on the ground, it revolves around your character going to various places and kicking bottoms in a slash fest of gore and mayhem. In the first game, THE DARKNESS™, we followed Jackie as he was introduced to The Darkness, the second one follows him as he deals with what he has become, tortured by the death of his girlfriend Jenny. JACKIE ESTACADO the hero of this outing is the man who controls a force known as THE DARKNESS, and of course being a mob boss makes him quite a formidable character. THE DARKNESS™ is here again people badabing! baddaboom! Yes our favourite Italian American gangster is back for another outing in the originally titled THE DARKNESS II™ published by 2K GAMES and DIGITAL EXTREMES. ![]()
