| Garcian Smith said: I honestly don't know. The Darkness seems like a very polarizing game; you either loved it or didn't get it. I fall into the first camp, personally; I don't know why it wasn't rated higher. I mean, yeah, the online sucks, but it seems like it got knocked down a couple of notches for that, while Bioshock (ironically published by the same company) didn't even HAVE online, and still got rated exceptionally highly. The campaign was amazing, and along with Bioshock, it really established 2K Games as a pioneer publisher in the area of "cinematic" games. Like Bioshock, The Darkness has no cutscenes except for when it makes sense to have cutscenes, and the storytelling benefits immensely from it. It also helps that the writing and voice acting are excellent all around, and the story itself is very impressive for a video game story. |
This is good news. Some gameplay elements are not spot on but the story and most gamplay aspects are great...
Starbreeze Studios did Chronicles of Riddic for the first xbox. That game was awesome so no wonder i like this one...
