I loved it, it was awesome. For the first time in a video game, when I shot someone in the head their head didn't either unrealistically pop or lay unscathed, despite the arterial spray. When I shot someone in the head there was an entrance and an exit wound. I could see their insides! I could fucking rip their hearts out. God it was so much fun.

My question is, how is this game in comparison to the demo and does anyone reccomend The Darkness? I'm looking for a good horror-shooter for plain and simple bloody fun. Coughandtheachievementpointscough. What? :P

I would appreciate the thoughts of anyone who has played the game and whether or not I should go out to Best Buy and grab this. Because the demo says yes.

I got this for PS3 on the weekend because it was £5. I'm about 30-40% in and so far the games been fun, the plots been interesting and a lot of the games ideas are pretty neat. There's a lot to see and explore and it's worth mentioning that the voice acting is extraordinarily good.

See if you can get a second hand copy and it's totally worth every penny as a title to fill in time between big releases.

The game is probably one of the most underrated games of 2007, the full game is definitely worth a play through or two.

This is a great game, especially since you can find it for cheap now.  It may not have a lot of replay value but it's worth $20 or so for the campaign in my opinion.

I have about $30-35 left on a Best Buy gift certificate and I would be willing (if I had to) to cover the difference with $10. What would a new copy at Best Buy probably go for?

Yes. Buy it. BUY IT.

Oh, and stay away from the GB page for the game, I wrote the plot section, and it lays out the entire story. So stay awaaay!

"Yes. Buy it. BUY IT.

Oh, and stay away from the GB page for the game, I wrote the plot section, and it lays out the entire story. So stay awaaay!"

Assuming you can still even find it at Best Buy.

My Best Buy has everything and I am thankful for that because I have no local gaming outlet and I REFUSE to fuel the evil machine that is GameStop.

Great game, if you liked the demo get the game.

Aight, it would seem that it is pretty much unanimous in favor of getting this game. Now I just have to wait until my dad let's me drive to Best Buy. G'damn learner's permit.

It's the best shooter I've played in many years. Very nice gameplay, extremely good characters and story and the graphics are really good.
It's definitaly in my top 3 FPS list.

I highly recommend this game and think it's one of the most underrated games of this generation. Don't really want to bump a thread without a reply in almost a week, but I thought I'd just mention that The Darkness has also dropped to $8.99 used at GS for the 360 and with the coupon this week you can get it for around $6! That is an absolute steal for this game.

As stated above, it's certainly worth buying at the price you can get it for today. I bought it a few days after launch, and probably spent 30 hours with it in the next three days; it rolls along at a nice clip. Like BioShock, there is functionally no multiplayer (well, there is, but it's god awful,) but the single player experience is easily worth the price of admission.
