The Darkness

The Darkness for X360 and PS3 focuses both on Jackie's fight against the power taking control over him, and his vengeance for the trap he was pushed into, as mentioned above. In this dark world filled with violence and enmity, Jackie Estacado has to learn how to control the power lying within him, as well as to find his own destiny, freedom, and love. The path to achieving these goals is not a walk in the park however, for Uncle Paulie sends subsequent assassins after the protagonist, and different monsters come from the alternative reality to attack him. The action takes place in dirty slums and shady corners of the New York City, places such as docks or subway tunnels, so the atmosphere is truly dark here. All of the in-game locations were given a large degree of destructibility, thus fans of causing mayhem should not be disappointed.

The Darkness for X360 and PS3 is quite an interesting mixture of a mob story and a survival horror. Combined with a non-linear plot, it creates an atmosphere capable of drawing the fans of such games in for many hours. The game can be played either from first, or third person perspective. High-quality graphics are generated by an improved version of the engine used in production of the previously mentioned The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.
