Video Review:


Script: Welcome to the Clearance Bin Video Game Review by Organized Remains. Two and a half years ago The Darkness came out. The lowest I've seen it is for $10 on the Xbox 360, and PS3.

The cover art looks awesome, like it came from a Judas Priest album. The story to the game is that you're Jackie, some 21 year old kid in a mob. This thing called "The Darkness" forces itself into your soul, and gives you these awesome powers. It gives you these tentacle-looking things, and they are just... dark.

It's a creepy game, and this voice is the creepiest voice I've ever heard. You also get some guns in the game, but they are not as fun as playing as The Darkness. The shooting part of the game is below average. Shooting these bad guys is pretty lame.

Playing as The Darkness is pretty cool, and gives this game flavor. If it wasn't for The Darkness, this game would be very dull. You can also create one of these guys and they can help you out. So it's not just the tentacles helping you out.

Final Say: The game is creepy and has lots of gore, and if that's what your into, check it out. If you just want a good shooter, go somewhere else. Looking at other places, this game got pretty good reviews, but I just think it's a meh game. So maybe it's just me, but it didn't keep me glued to the screen. I wish they made the shooting mechanics better, it just seemed choppy. Since I wasn't so into it, but a lot of other people were, I say go check it out, but you might want to wait for a cheaper price.
