The Darkness II : Let the horror begin!

Ripping people's head, shooting them in their chest and turning city into abattoir.....yes, you are talking about The Darkness II. 2 years after the incident, Jackie manifests 2 demonic arms. What most people expect from sequels is a whole different story, more twist but the plot of Darkness II is almost like its predecessor. The arsenal is usual, SMGs, pistols, Shotguns and rifles. But the best weapon in the arsenal is the two demonic arms.
The player can use them to tear people, pick up drums, stun the enemies and even slice and dice. All the tearing, pipping and killing earns the "dark essence" in the game that the user can use to enhance the skills. This game is not for people who can't tolerate simple violence like that of Hollywood films.

 WHAT MAKES THE GAME A HIT:
 The perfect sound effects that make the sounds like cracking of bone audible. Even the music and voice acting.
 The visuals of the game are dynamic.

WHAT WE DIDN'T LIKE:
 The AI are lame and even the boss fights were not good.
 The difficulty of the game was one of the most letdown of the game. The advanced difficulty was a challenge.
 AND THE MOST ANNOYING - It was only 6 hours of gameplay that made the game a serious letdown.
