    God this brings back memories,... I remember playing this game on my bro's 360. I thought it was such a cool game in terms of atmosphere and gunplay. I also loved all the cool little touches like when you ran out of ammo on a pistol you were holding, Jackie would flip it in his hands and use it as a melee weapon and pistol-whip enemies. I love how the HUD in the pause menu and main menu is casting shadows onto the tentacles in the background too.
    It's so crazy how ambitious a lot of games from 2007 and 2008 were. If only we could get more games like that with today's graphics.

  • @HenrySchecker

    I actually have a really sweet nostalgia for this game. I would go over to my best friend Dylan's house every day after school and I'd watch him play The Darkness and we'd listen to A7X's "City of Evil" album and just kind of relish in our edginess. We were two teens in Brooklyn who thought Jackie was the most badass character. This game, perfect dark zero, halo 2, cod 3, dead rising, and crackdown were such amazing titles for their time.

    the darkness is carried through seed and egg so like, upon conception, the offspring gets the darkness but the father dies since it leaves his body.
    so jacky has had the powers but they don't really...activate til age 21, it's one of the few drawbacks of the darkness.

    I'd say the comics are pretty good, and worth checking out. Top Cow has put out some collected editions of the classic run, and there are a couple of reboot series that don't really live up to the originals. I always kind of preferred The Darkness to Spawn, but that was just me. If nothing else, check out Garth Ennis' run on it.
