The Darkness II is a first-person shooter with role-playing elements where horror and gore play a vital role. The script for the game has been drafted by a famous comic book writer so players should expect some interesting things along the line of the scenario.

As in the first game in the series, players will take control of Jackie Estacado, a member of the mob that saw his girlfriend Jenny being killed and couldn't stop it because of a malevolent force that has given him supernatural powers.

In The Darkness II, Jackie becomes the Don of the family and with the help of an occultist manages to restrain the supernatural power, the Darkness. In a moment when Jackie must choose between life and death, he allows the Darkness to take control and he begins to embrace the dark power.

After learning that the series of attacks, almost costing him his life, have come from one direction: the Brotherhood, Jackie tries to kill his enemy: Victor Valente. In the process he learns that the Darkness has been keeping Jenny a prisoner in Hell.

Being a first-person shooter, you will mostly have to deal with firearms, yet just like in the first game, the Darkness will allow you to control some awesome abilities like the Creeping Dark tendrils who are powerful tentacles capable of ripping a man in half. A novelty is the ability to wield two different firearms as well as two tentacles at the same time.

The multiplayer in The Darkness II is really great and is called Vendettas. It's basically more of a co-op mode where up to four players team up and go through a hit list. Each of them is equipped with weapons and a part of the Darkness that allows only one single ability per player.

Besides the story, there are definitely a lot more ties to the comic book sector: the attention for hand-drawn details in obvious cases, the cut scenes and of course the excessive use of gore and blood. There is even a sidekick you will have to follow and take advices from: the Darkling.

In The Darkness II, the line between Jackie's sanity and the real world is thin and so is the border between fighting against Good or Evil. As the morality of the game is ambiguous, the gameplay is not: lots of different weapons and supernatural abilities will be hard to control at first, yet with a bit of practice you'll be taking heads of enemies in no time.

Bottom line is that if you're into extreme shooters and extreme violence, this is one game you shouldn't miss.
