The Darkness (360 and PS3)

Re: The Darkness (360 and PS3)

I'm really liking this game, the environment interaction is very nice. I love the voice acting its very nice.

I have it on 360 and PS3 and traded the PS3 version back in. The 360 has some nice lighting effects.

I just finished the first part of the game. And so far its nice. I know one thing, the game is difficult. Graphics are nice, I didn't know, that you had to take out the lights, to get the darkness to be stronger. Also by destroying the lights, it makes portals appear in some areas.

Finding the notes with phone numbers to get unlockables is a nice touch. Also doing the side quest is nice. I just punked a dude, so he would let another guy play his harmonica in the subway.

The level of detail in this game is amazing. Did you notice the guys break dancing in the subway. They really got a boom box, and they really dance, thats crazy.

Overall its nice, good game, I'm glad I got it. Not complaining at all. Sometimes while controls the snakes the camera is just dumb, but eventually it evens out. Load screens are nice, with Jackie sitting in the dark, chatting about the storyline.

Overall I give it a 8/10 its a very nice game and I'm enjoying it. Its only short if you just rush through it...otherwise its nice overall...find everything and do all the side missions, it will take alot longer. Nice game good job 2k.

Rented this on PS3, awesome game. Atleast single player wise. I'll probably buy the 360 version once it drops price.

If you liked it on PS3, you'll love it on 360... at least that's how it went for me.

Same for me. The PS3 version was good, but the 360 version is great.

I could impale people all day long and not lose interest! I love walking into a room and blowing somebody away, impaling the next guy slinging him across the room and then finishing someone else off execution style. It's like watching a badass cinematic except it's all you!

I don't get it, aren't they the same game? what makes the 360 the better system to get it for?

For me, the graphics are alot better on the 360, as well as the controls. Theres also a blurring effect in the 360 thats not in the PS3 version.

I also noticed in the PS3 version that stuff would randomly disappear/reappear ie; fences in the graveyard, fences right outside of the olive resteraunt (dont recall the whole name).

They're the same game yes, but just better on the 360.

Yup, that pretty much nails it. There is really a surprising jump in graphical quality, as well as in the controls.

I guess the best way to describe it is the PS3 version almost feels incomplete compared to the 360 version.

Like I said, if you have the choice, the decision is a pretty easy one...

.........SPOILER........Answer to dalewood

GO ON TOP OF THE HILL AND TALK TO THE DEAD GUY ON THE CROSS:y4:i was stuck on the same part for ever....and i **** myself every time that guy appears in front of you every time the lightning strikes

I rented the game yesterday and I'm on that part. That dude scared the **** out of me the first time I saw him, I had just killed a guy then I turned around, there was the lighting strike, and that dude was just standing there.

Re: The Darkness (360 and PS3)

Ok guys, I just finished this game, and I'm sorry but the last stage and final battle...

Was just simply, the most, largest, piece of, EXCELLENCE!!!!

It owned!!! That final battle and fight of this game was just sweet, the level of power you get is simply amazing. Not to mention the ending is hella nice, graphics are just amazing on the final stage. All the way down to the end credits this game was great. The online ratings don't do it justice. 2k did a great job on this game, I'm proud of them.

This isn't a spoiler, but once you complete the game, it shows you how much stuff you completed and how much you didn't. Such as secrets, side missions and so on. Also unlockable completions.

So it has alot of replay value, can't wait to play on the hardest level and do more side quest.

Love the voice acting, and before long, you will truly feel like you are the darkness...and not just Jackie...

I truly applaud them on the finale!!!! Great game, I'm glad to own this one....

Re: The Darkness (360 and PS3)

Man, that was a good *** game. I don't get why everyone said that it was short, maybe it was just because I tried to do as many sidequests as possible but it didn't feel short at all to me. Anyway, I hope they make a sequel and this game has gotten me interested in the comics. This would be perfect for a movie series too. The only thing that I didn't like about the game was the Otherworld. They were just as annoying as the Oblivion gates.

That last fight in the mansion was crazy. It was like being in a horror movie except we were the thing everybody was running from.

Yeah it was a great ending. I just sold my game on Ebay for 41.00 plus 5.00 ship. and handling. Gamestop was going to give 25.00 for it.
