Darkness II for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

the darkness was kinda cool... but mostly i was just bored with the linear game play and story telling. and i really couldn't get into the characters.

playing a sulking heterosexual male just wasn't doing anything for me. and the darkness mechanics weren't as exciting as i was hoping. grab and slash. like a first person god of war or devil may cry.

the demo is at least worth a play.

For all of those FPS buffs who are tired of the traditional military FPS's this is a fresh new experience. You are in control of a mobster named Jackie who is possessed, a term I use loosely, by this thing called the darkness. It introduces quad-wielding mechanics that have never been quite done before. You also get a British monkey that gives you ammo ever now and then and who will attack enemies and bosses and you can throw him at other NPC's and one level you can control him to turn off the power. If you're a true FPS fan you'll invest 20$-30$ into this game series because Darkness 1 is pretty good to.
