9.0 Presentation
The Darkness´ strength is in its packaging. The menus are slick, the cut-scenes are stylish, and the atmosphere is perfectly moody.
7.5 Graphics
Some nice effect, but the touchy framerate hurts a bit. The Otherworld is particularly cool. The animations in general are weak, though.
8.5 Sound
This is some of the best voice acting on PS3 to date. The sound effects and music are fairly average by comparison.
7.5 Gameplay
It´s fun to kick ass and take names. It would be nice if the AI and enemies matched the slick presentation.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
The campaign will take 8-10 hours. The multiplayer won´t keep you playing much longer than that.
7.7
Good OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
