Thoughts on The Darkness

[Gamerforlife]

My copy (PS3) arrived today so I'll try it out soon - looking forward to it even more now after your non-review review.

Hope you enjoy, my best advice is for you to always look for opportunities to use creeping dark. It makes some parts easier than they seem and helps you find hidden stuff. You will learn to love this power, though the others are sweet too

I've tried getting into this game off and on for the past few weeks, but really don't care for it. The darkness powers come across as gimmicky and less-than-polished...a bad thing for the signature feature of the game. I've also found the guns so far to be less than accurate - another bad mark for a FPS. The story is ok but nothing special - maybe I'd appreciate it more if I knew the comic.

I'm probably a good 3-4 hours into the game - does it get vastly more interesting? Right now I can't see sticking with it until the end.
