The Darkness Reviews

Will his be coming out on PC?

I'm a bit disappointed in the framerate, as the game doesn't really look that good (IMO), in fact it looks quite shit in comparison with my other PS3 games, it makes you wonder how it can drop so often. I mean look at Resistance, a game that looks better than The Darkness (IMO again), much bigger, more characters (which is also much better looking), more detailed environment, 40 player multiplayer etc. yet it runs at a silk smooth framerate with no framedrops whatsoever.

Aside from that I think it's a great game, the controls are a bit confusing though.

The framerate issue apparently only affects the PS3 version. It's supposedly lacking several of the fancy FX that the 360 version has, too.

My 360 version has a pretty constant framerate. It only noticeably drops whenever Jackie's hair looms into view and does a little swish.

Fun game Awesome scripted bits as well.

Can't say I'm surprised, the X360 version was the main platform for this game.

Still great game.

Be careful the fanboys might come in and argue. They'll say that the darkness was made for both consoles at the same time but no one else actually cares because the 360 is more powerful in it's GPU so everyone else knew that the 360 would be better.

Anti-aliasing and motion blur. I just read it at Gaf, but they're all PS3 fanboys there, so it has some weight.

Just finished the game. Weird ending, I must say.

Obvious opening for a sequel, but that's expected.
