    I don't think anyone reviewing this game who gave it a high rating and says it is an improvement over the first game can have played and loved the first game.

They have taken a unique and engaging game and turned it into a very ordinary shooter. The shooting mechanics admittedly needed some work on the first game but other than that it was a very special and surprising change from any other game I have played. The Darkness I is one of my all time favourite games and this game is just so ordinary. I am an achievement hunter and could easily get a perfect score on this game but dislike the experience so much that I will not even try. I just want to leave it behind and never think about it again. It is nothing like the first game. If they had called it something else then maybe it would be an o.k. shooter but for someone who loves and respects what the game developers gave us in the first game it is a crying shame. So disappointing.… Expand

    Sorry, but positive feedback is not available in your region. At least until your leadership changes the two-faced policy in their actions and statements.

    Такая чушь, терпел часа 3-4. Удалил. Жалко потраченного времени и денег.

    An average shooter wrapped in an entertaining story.

    I haven't played a game to completion twice in a single sitting since Portal 2, which should roughly hint at the quality of experience that awaits: It's short and sweet, with a decent cooperative multiplayer side-story for added value. And by "sweet," I mean you can hang a thug upside-down and rip their intestines out through their ass.

    Drastically improved combat means entry two is far from the disappointment many predicted. [Apr 2012, p.70]
