I was completely sucked in. I couldn’t stop playing. By the end I wanted more. I wanted to be Jackie Estacado. I wanted to find out what happens next.

PSM MagazineThe Darkness is brutal in its violence, language, and dark tone. [Aug 2007, p.70]
-
Interactive storytelling is rarely this good, and there are few game endings that make you sit back and think, “Man, what if I did this instead?” like this one does. For its amazing narrative and believability of characters, and the twisted joys that come from being a slave of a demon, The Darkness will keep you enthralled, even when the gameplay lags a little behind.

Its story is one of the most interesting and engaging stories (albeit dark) that I've ever seen in a video game.

Electronic Gaming MonthlyKeeping the "set" locations small allows for some impressive and immersive detail--throw in quality script and voice acting, and the whole experience is compelling enough (and very well paced) to transcend its brief playtime. [Aug 2007, p.74]

There is a good game in here, but it's too bad that the AI and gameplay mechanics weren't as impressive as the deep story line.

I was looking forward to it, but left very disappointed. It’s completely playable. Being about 7 hours long helps but I spent the entire game waiting for it to get good, to make sense, to make a case for all the incongruous elements of design, gameplay and story, and then it ended.

GameDocJul 11, 2007Online play is bad. Too many cut scenes take away from the game play. However, it is an enjoyable game with flaws.
