Darkness II previews

Just played the demo for this game that came out on the 26th jan on the ps3 store & Wow. What an improvment. So much of a variety on taking down the enemy's & also upgrades for abilities compared to the first game. The cell shaded graphics look amazing & does gives you that comic book feeling about the game well still giving. Of that dark sence about the game.

It's definitely a major improvment to the first game & I highly recommend people to play the demo. If you weren't. A fan of the comic's or the first game. I reckon this game will make you a fan of the Darkness.

I have no idea how people though the first game was good. Sure, there were some good concepts in it, but gameplay was horrendous.

Having been a fan of the comic from Day 1, I was shocked to find myself fighting ZOMBIE NAZIS in the first game… WTF.

The sandbox gameplay was incredibly narrow. It was more like a kindergarden sandbox – you know, about 4 square metres.

I'm certainly not getting this on immediate release, nor am I trusting any review I read, but a change in developer studio may help breathe some life into the game.

They have such an awesome character (and world) to bring to life – it's just a pity to see the design miss out on some of the awesome comic artists that were involved in the series.

Crossing fingers, but not holding my breath.
