I didn't like Riddick much back when too much, but I loved this game.  The shooting itself is average,  but the story and setting and really the general mood of the game is great.

I really don't see how you could have gone into the otherworld and not have good feelings about the darkness

Looks like you didn't even play the game very long, nor did you finish it. You didn't even kill one enemy with melee. Nor did you complete second part of the game (Into the Dark) achievement.

I loved this game, mainly for the story-line, which got me hooked.
I sold it after completing it but I'm looking into getting it back, it's so gruesome!!

I love this game too. Far Cry 2 is horrible.

FireproofGalaxy isn't my real Gamertag.

Yeah this guy is a Troll with a terrible taste in games.  Star Breeze is one of the better devs out there and The Darkness is an awesome game.  Tigerknee seems to have a serious case of ADD because he's played a ton of games where he only skimmed the surface and then moved on to something else.  He spent a lot of time with LOTR: Conquest though, which is a pretty mediocre game.

I would love to see another Darkness, Star Breeze rocks!

You're insane...
The Darkness is an amazing game. I've yet to play the multi player but the single player is fantastic. How can anyone not like eating peoples hearts with a cool demon that is attached to you. :)

I wouldn't say it was horrible but i honestly couldn't get into the story at all.  I will say the level were you are fighting in WW I That was rockin.

How could you have not got into the story!? The story had me addicted to the game, plus the gruesomeness.. when they shoot his gf right in front of you, drill into your face not to mention the pure horror of the last levels cut scenes.

The WW level had me shatting myself especially when those 'things' flashed up in the lightning!

Yeah, I totally disagree. While this game is by no means perfect, your evaluation of this game is out of order. Great story line, fast paced action and long single player experience. I can't speak to the longevity of the multiplayer because I have not played it but this game is a gem; a very affordable one now at GameStop, Blockbuster, or brand new for $30.00.

$30.00 is that a typo? there selling it about £3 in England

The $30.00 price point is for a new copy of the game because they have added it to the platinum hits collection. You can probably buy it for less new on ebay or something. Cheers...

Ive not played Bioshock properly, i downloaded the demo and that was about it, seemed a pretty spooky game but the part where you have to make machines work by lining up the pipes and stuff... yeah let's say I'm not the best at doing that!
Anyone know any other games like the Darkness? in terms of full on blood, violence, disturbing, gruesome gaming? I heard F.E.A.R is meant to be good, anyone know?

F.E.A.R. 1 is pretty good and its cheap now. Uses numbered health instead of regen like most shooters nowadays. Prey is pretty awesome (walking on walls, portals, gravity) its all about aliens. fear 2 is pretty to look at but imo not that good, ending will give you awkard dreams though. gears of course is uber violent at times. jericho is pretty dark and grusome but the game pretty much sucks, one reason being you team mates are useless in a fight.

Cheers, i have Prey, i thought it was a good game wouldn't say it was as dark as The Darkness but it's a decent game.
Gears & Prey aren't really the sick and twisted type of game I'm after but are awesome games.

Gamestation have an offer on 2 for £20, F.E.A.R is one of the titles on the offer, i wish i had called in like 3 weeks ago they had F.E.A.R 2 & Gears 2, 2 for £30, shame i missed out on that :(

well Prototype lets you kill people in tons of different horrible fun ways. Just the story imo kinda sucks

I have come to one conclusion:  anyone who brags about their TV setup in their signature is not to be trusted.  Their opinions on games should be at the best laughed at and then forgotten.

The story and voice-acting are top-notch and the darkness powers are creative which allows me to forgive the poor shooting mechanics.

Singleplayer = good
Multiplayer = crap

The Darkness is awesome... the original poster is on drugs... and not the good kind.... o.O

Riddick has a lot of great moments, all of the stealth / melee sections are amazing.  The gunplay is weak, so it only gets lame when they put you into too many firefight situations, should have kept the game more aimed at stealth and melee combat, because the melee combat was just awesome. 

I haven't played The Darkness yet but I just played the demo (and enjoyed it!) and am thinking about picking it up soon.  Anyways, I feel the same way about The Darkness based on the demo, the gunplay is weak (except for the close-up execution kills, those are brutal!), but the darkness powers are awesome. 

Overall I think they make good games, but they need to stick to what they're good at, in Riddick's case that's melee and stealth, there shouldn't have been so many run-and-gun situations in the second half of the game.

The Darkness is ****ing ace.

Poor multiplayer though, I wish that they hadn't tacked it on the end.

I just got it for 9.99 on ebay. I hope its good

The Darkness was amazing. One of the best games I played all year. It's fine you don't like it, but the difference between you and I regarding the game is that I didn't waste the internet by making a thread about it.

Fantastic game, when I get through some of my backlog, I'll likely go through and play it again. Fantastic story, great characters, fairly long game.

Considering it sells at most places not for under $10, everyone should buy it. 

I liked the game also. Are there any other games like it?
