I bought this game today brand new for 14.99. At that price I expected something between ninjabread man and Haze.

However after playing it for 2-3 hours today I discovered that this is a good game. Really good game infact...borderline AAA.

Amazing story, great graphics, and best sound fx/music I've heard in a while.

Anyone here play this game. Why isn't it mare talked about? Maybe a sequel?

It's a highly underrated game. It has a great story.

I guess it's because many, like myself, played the game and were less impressed then you were. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it because I got bored, and the gameplay was annoying to me. Not to mention I had to turn the gamma all the way up to see anything, which I understand by the game's namesake but it was still annoying.

All in all, it's the only PS3 game that I have actually sold back to Gamestop.

 I really don't know what your expectations of the game were but as far as single player FPS game "campaigns" go...this is one of the best I've seen. Moltiplayer apparently sucks however...

Its rated 82 on metactitic...which is not bad at all.

I really enjoyed it. Not AAA though. The online is absolutely terrible.

I don't know man, I guess I hated the attempt at being free roaming while really only having 4 areas you can go to. And the story just didn't pull me in. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but it's the worst game I've played this gen. Which could be seen as good I suppose considering it got an 82.

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.

Either way, The Darkness established Starbreeze Studios as one of my favorite development houses. They also developed the excellent Chronicles of Riddick game, as well as the underrated Enclave for Xbox.

Edit: And, looking at Wikipedia, it looks like The Darkness 2 is in development!!

Personally I really enjoyed the game as well, story, graphics, sound. Although I did choose to trade it in because I just couldn't see replaying it again anytime soon. Same goes for Dark Sector.

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...

It was good. The multiplayer had the cool element with the demons but it just didn't work for me... But I am not really into shooters so who am I to talk?

I will check out the sequel, if the Wiki is right.
