This game is interesting, ESPECIALLY if you have an HD setup (im talking sound, visual picture).

Clear crisp graphics, Awesome digital sound...

Though the game is kinda strange, its similar to sims meets golden eye meets hot topic (the store)

Recommend buying... if you must rent, plan on having it for a long time, or playing a lot at once

Fantastic!

Wow, this is what a great game should be. It's a FPS with a Darkside! I don't want to spoil the game for anyone, just get it.

If you can't afford the PS3 you can try the game on Xbox 360, but I wouldn't recommend it as the graphics and gameplay are not as good and it's lacking in content.

A Must Buy Game

The Darkness on PS3 is a hit

The Darkness is a wild ride from beginning to end, a game that tells a story of a young mafia hitman that gains a special demonic power on his 21st birthday. As the game progresses, you learn how to wield this awesome power and get revenge on your Uncle Paulie for deeds I shall not name in this review for I do not want to spoil the game for you. But what he does to you is something you cannot forgive him for, and Uncle or not you want his blood. The Darkness is one of the most dramatic games you could play on a game console, especially for FPS standards. The PS3 version which I played looks wonderful and has a rock solid frame rate throughout the entire game. It does not however take advantage of the standard Hard-Drive nor the motion sensing SIXAXIS controller, probably due to it being designed around the weaker specifications of Microsoft's Xbox console.
The game is NOT for the faint of heart, you will see many point-blank gunshots to your enemies heads, as well as ripping their hearts out. Enjoy!

excellent gear

Excellent game! Fun factor is very high and the story is gritty. Truly one of the best games out for the PS3 and shows the off the systems yet to be fully utilized power. Movement is a little pesky sometimes and the map is not excactly helpful unless you have a monstrously big hdtv. Definitely worth every penny.

Cool game, kept reminding me of the old Max Payne game especially the way your enemies hear the slightest noise from you and all come charging in and you bury them. This game is definetly an experience...get close to your HDTV and crank up the sound and enjoy. The minute you blow someone away at point blank range with your 12ga you'll be in love. Great sound, graphics and blu-ray finally comes to town with really big levels with lots of nooks and crannies. You have several powers of darkness at your disposal along with conventional firearms so it makes for a great time. This game is money well spent. Here's my beef with it. Granted I haven't played it all the way through. First the darkness creep power is too easy, it alone almost has basically got me through the first half of the game. But it never gets old so that's kind of good. Second, why do I have to shoot an enemy 37 times from 10ft away with dual handguns? Especially when they're head shots!! The only other minor thing is you can't see your health bar. You just die after so many shots. One cool thing I was really impressed with was the cutscenes! Really cool how the main character narrates and moves through the story for you. And the load screen animations with the main character are cool too. Good game, go buy it.

I am a big fan of first person shooters, mostly playing games like socom, hitman, medal of honor, etc. The darkness is the second PS3 game I have purchased, resistance being the first. I really loved this game. The graphics and music are great. The gameplay is open-ended in you can decide how to react in certain situations and can decide to take on side missions. The environment is interactive allowing you to smash and shoot stuff, throw cars, turn stuff on and off. Becuase of all this, gamers who normally don't get into first person shooters will definitely like this game.

I normally don't get into the stories in video games, but this one is great. The story is just as much fun as playing the game.

Overall great graphics, great environment, great story, great FPS gameplay. Not a long game to play, but you will want to play it more than once. Definitely one of my favorite games. Check it out you won't be dissapointed.
