Don’t worry if you don’t catch on with some of the things in the game. The story is wonderful and the more you play, the more you will beg for a sequel. AT THE SAME TIME!?! That’s right! The mechanic in this FPS allows you to use four weapons at once! Excuse me while I have a nerd-gasm… And I’m back! So after killing a few more guys, you see the ghost of your dead girlfriend Jenny run past the screen and disappear! There is so much more I could touch on, but this is a review, not a let’s play or a walkthrough so I had better continue. Wait a minute… So let me get this straight, not only can you dual wield guns, but you can also dual wield The Darkness. Now as you walk through an alley, you are introduced to using your left and right Darkness tentacle. In that moment you watch as The Darkness rips through five guys and heals your wounded leg. As you crawl out if the bistro, The Darkness tells you to either embrace The Darkness or die. Dual-wield! YES! Now as you exit the bistro you see what you can pretty much tell is the antagonist of the game giving the order to kill you. After killing a few goons you make it to the bar where you are given your second pistol. Soon afterwards, your buddy gives you a gun and drags you out. A chat goes on for a few seconds, then suddenly bullets begin to fly and a car crashes through the diner window in front of you! You black out for a second, and when you regain consciousness, you notice that your leg is injured. I finally sit down with two beautiful girls. Which adds a change of pace from playing the original, but a wonderful touch which gives it more of that comic book feel. You know the drill, look left, look right, let’s move on! Now as we walk through the bistro you can’t help but notice the game is cell shaded. So we start the game with a tutorial level in a nice bistro.
Jackie has all but been able to block out The Darkness since the death of his girlfriend Jenny Romano. On a side note: You can choose to watch a recap of The Darkness at the start of the game. The Darkness II takes place two years after the events of the first game. The game tells the story of Jackie Estacado, a mafia crime lord and wielder of The Darkness. *Warning: If you haven’t played the first game, there is a big spoiler in this review! * Let me also make a note before I get into the review: It is good to play the first game. Now, the comic tells of the never-ending battle between The Darkness and The Angelus which is essentially light vs darkness. Paul Jenkins, a creative writer in the comic series, helped write the script for The Darkness 2.
#The darkness ii lets play series#
The Darkness is a comic book series created in 1996 by David Wohl, Marc Silvestri, and Garth Ennis. Ok, so this is a game review long overdue (with a release date of February 7th 2012), but it is a well deserved review! The Darkness 2 is a First Person Shooter sequel to the 2007 title The Darkness.
