The Darkness II
The Darkness II breaks out of the sea of conventional first-person shooters with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay, which will allow players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons. The game is layered with the use of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and engulfed in stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique that stays true to its comic book origins.

The multiplayer campaign will take you between two and three hours and there are several one off missions you can play afterwards to extend your multiplayer game sessions. If none of your friends buy The Darkness 2 (get new friends), you can still play the Vendettas campaign by yourself. It's still quite enjoyable solo and functions just as more The Darkness 2... which isn't a bad thing.

Gamers wanting to experience some of the bloodiest combat you’re likely to see in any FPS this year, or those wanting to revel in perhaps the most visionary graphic novel-style presentation of the decade need only look as far as The Darkness II. It’s a wild and non-stop ride of gore and carnage with gameplay that uniquely adapts to each person who plays it. It has surprising moments of heart and storytelling, but most of all; it’s a bloody good time from start to finish, and a game you’ll play at least twice just so you can experience it all.

The skill wheel includes upgrades and special abilities for you, and some of them are crazy cool. One of the abilities is the Black Hole, a feature that makes a much-needed return, only this time you don't summon them. Now, when you unlock the ability, there's a chance that you can grab a Black Hole from the corpse of a slain enemy, in the place of the heart you would normally find. Then all you have to do is toss it into a group of unsuspecting enemies and watch it do all the work for you.

The Darkness II’s salvation, again, is Jenny. The game has Jackie spending much more time with his lost love. These visions of past dates and formative moments aren’t cheap; they’re actual character-building, leveraging the power of proximity and intimacy to create emotional ties. This transforms Jenny from the clichéd princess-in-peril to something closer to an actual person. The Darkness II’s poignant moments are surprisingly touching. It’s no mistake that, after hours of tearing flesh and bone, magic is found in a gentle kiss.

All in all, Darkness fans will likely have a field day with this game as the extra time between titles (four, almost five years at time of release) seem to have been well worth the wait considering the polish that this title exudes.
