  • It's ww1 not ww2.

  • Fuck the chronicals of bullshit...only nerds play that....darkness is for kool guys so fuck this reviewer too... Xd

  • This game is a classic. Also underrated. Even though it didn't sell as well everyone including the developers knew the game was great, they still took a chance and came out with a part two. They made the gfx cartoony I think just to make it appeal to the masses.

  • Everything negative this guy said about the game I found the complete opposite. The gfx blew my top off, the gameplay was great, the story was great and the side missions were fun.

    This game was so underrated. Its a great game and the gfx were really good for it's time. I actually think the gfx were a lot better in the 1st one than the second one. I remember putting lots of people on to this game and everybody came back saying they loved it. I think that's why the came out with a second one.

  • I came here because that's the game Heavy plays in Heavy orders an XBOX

  • You definitely dont have to knock out every light. I never found it annoying because I simply let the darkness go away for a couple seconds. Nice of you to criticize the game, though, just because you played it wrong...

  • €5 at game stop :D awesome gameplay and story

  • it's called no man's land you fucking casual.

  • why dont you let the poor left snake eat??

  • 2:20 isn't that every fps?

  • Wtf? Didn't even mention the kick-ass story and voice acting??

  • Lol, IGN recruits boy who hasn't been through puberty shocker... Riddick is a turd compared to this.. Jacckkkkiieeee... Finished it in 2006 on ps3 now replaying on xbox.. One of the best games this gen..

  • This looks pretty awesome. There's not many fun shooters anymore where you can just kick the crap out of everyone.

  • @Metalhead222 um one of them is married and has been for about 3 years also so what if one of them is gay

  • stupid review, game is so much better than riddick imo. love the story/gameplay. amazing game!

  • fucking shitty review

    the darkness deserves better

  • I got it for 5 dollars pretty good deal at gamestop.

  • This was one of the lame review i´ve ever seen/heard. This guy sucks...

  • i cant believe this guy said WW2 its fucking world war 1, nazi's were not made yet deadbeat, u should stop reviewing

  • incredible game, the best storyline i have ever seen, 2 will be even better i cant believe he said it was not as good as riddick

  • Hilary...think I just saw his entire childhood.

  • It's WW1... not world war 2 :/

  • its called the darkness because you get your powers from the dark LOL 1:41

  • fuck that!!! ign review or your own opion? i have the darkness and it kicks as!

  • actually i've played this game and it seriously sucks for multiple, multiple reasons for one thing the gun fights are so hard it isnt even realistick! it takes 7 bullets to kill a single enemy and 3 to kill jackie. and being in darkness mode doesnt change a thing and the tentacle things only reach their targets once every 15 times even if theres no light around which also, doesnt chage a thing, i've tried shooting the lights and all it does is make the screen darker.

  • @DaHackerImpaq be quite you are complaining over a 3 year old game and it is good you just suck at it

  • The snake on the left never gets any hearts : (

  • Without doubt one of the best games ive played.Great story cool gameplay.

    Since its a bit old its only about 5 euro its a really good game.

  • Not to be an ass and I know no one cares, BUT it's WWI, not WII. The Darkness is one of the most underrated games and deserves to be played by everyone!!! Can't wait for number 2!

  • The ONLY good part of this game, and the only reason anyone is talking about the game, is because Mike Patton graced the game with his genious voice.

  • @uiruu

    I believe the word you were looking for is "genius".

  • @TwigsInc Genious, Genius, Tomayto, Tomahto.

    He's one of those either way.

  • Cant wait for the darkness 2 :] hopefully jackie will have full control over the darkness

  • trophies?

  • dude fuck you the darkness is going to have a sequel and riddick isn't theres a reason for that 

  • I think this game was waisted on first peson, even if it was just a third person you could see the darkness because it's so cool looking but you can hardly see it.

  • great game, very strange and different. This deserved higher praise 

  • It seems to me that Hilary Goldstein hasn't played hard mode in this game. I think he really hasn't looked into the game much considering that the darkness is a pretty fun game despite the underrated that this game recieved.

  • i got a game for 40 bucks it sucked i got darkness for 5 bucks it rocked my world its addicting higher price doesn't mean better .

  • Is the name Hilary unisex in America?

  • @FullMetalAlcohol

    yea unfortunately, along with 80% of all other names. but what evs just glad my parents didnt name me with a unisexed name. high chances are his parents wanted a girl.

  • @pokemasterelite Lol I'm glad too - my name just confuses people! :) 

  • @FullMetalAlcohol hilary is not unisex in america..sucks for him purley a girls name

  • HIS NAME IS HILARY!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO THATS A GIRLS NAME ROFL!!!!!!

  • @qazwerqazqaz are you simple no its not, i have 2 friends that are guys that are named hilary

  • @BrainBucket78 Well that leaves one of two things, either they had gay parents or you need to take a good look under the hood...

  • @DeadThouusand DEFINATLAY THE DRAKNESS!

    ALONE IN THE DARK IS A TERIBLE GAME IS BORING REPETETIVE AND NOT SCARY AT ALL! DARKNESS IS DEEP, HAS GREAT GAMEPLAY AND THE STORY IS REALY WORTHWHILE! DARKNESS ALL THE WAY!!!

  • i'm looking for some nice horror FPS to kill some boring freetime of mine, i do play FEAR and Aliens vs. Predator -series. what do u guyd think, which one i should buy:

    alone in the dark, or the darkness? i'm trying to have as much opinions as possible.

  • @DeadThouusand

    Bioshock, Half life 2 and The darkness are all great shooters with really compelling stories and some creepy moments.

    But if you want plain old horror I'd go with Condemned, F.E.A.R or Dead space. also if you play pc games you should check out amnesia: the dark decent, one of the most dsturbing and terrifying games I've ever played.

    Don't get alone in the dark, it's.... meh.

  • @Amarkcalledme i appreciate such nice feedback as this ;)

  • hoping for more players to get hyped for the darkness 2, going to be playing online, game invite shinykira if you want to play

  • Your a hansom women Hilary.

  • he should stop compare this to riddick! fine i got it both of the games are from the same developers but come one, riddick is about stealth not only gun play while THE DARKNESS is all about gunplay! (the stealth with the snake dosnt count)

  • I don't see nothing wrong with this review really. Other than the mistake he made between world war 1 and 2

  • ahem i think that's world war 1 you can see from the german's uniform those are not nazis and the game is amazing i was surprised by the little succes it had and the stupid reviews

  • ''Dude'' your name is Hilary???

  • I hate whenever they get a retard to review a game he knows nothing about...

  • @NyxNeviam

    re 5 is the worst resident evil, but it is still better than 80 - 90% of games imo

    what makes re 5 a "piece of shit"?

  • This review goes into so much fucking detail about gameplay mechanics and storyline and shit. It misses the point.

    It's not the individual parts that makes this game. It's the overall effect and the way the game makes you feel - that's what makes The Darkness special.

  • what a bellend of a reviewer.......Riddick and Darkness 2 totally diff games why compare....Darkness was awesome especially for an early 360 title....i am looking forward to the sequel.....

  • i actually liked the graphics when it 1st came out i thought it was fun i played it more than 5 times

  • ign is always postive about apple products and call of duty Black Craps, theyr'e just bribed

  • i'm betting this guy didn't even play this game. there are so many flaws in this review i can't even count them! this is most likely the worst review IGN has ever done. and he didn't even mention the story. i mean wtf? the story is the main reason to play this game. and the story is unlike anything i've ever seen. game's real cheap now too, so you just can't go wrong buying this incredible piece of art. and btw, the graphics are amazing. almost reallike at times

  • IGN sucks epic balls.

  • listen up people, the darkness is going to have a sequel, look up "the darkness (videogame)" in wikipedia and scroll down until you find the section that says "sequel" and read away :)

  • this game was awesome though one thing i dont understand about it is (spoiler alert - sorta) the bit in the otherworld where you fight the darkness and all that shit with the darkness guns...I thought the point of the darkness guns was so you could fight the darkness and kill it, instead you meaninglessly shoot at it, let it possess you again then it pretty much kills you at the end...wtf?

  • 2:40-2:43 - "Dude, stop following me. I said stop following me. What the fuck is your-HOLY SHIT!"

  • theres only one main reason that ign review good games as bad ones and thats because they can't play it very well lol

  • This game is fucking awesome!!! completely underated. It has more depth and detail and than most games i've played and has wicked story, gameplay and voice-acting.

  • fake its not a ign review

  • I don't think their problem is that they rate games too low, its that they rate alright games better than good games.

  • Well, all the reviews I saw on Gamestop from people who played this was glowing. I don't think anyone rated it lower than a 9 out of 10. So, I bought it. Hope it's as good as they say.

  • such a sad ending

  • guys that was my older bro

  • I think the otherworld part is the hellish setting of WWI!

    It very very creppy and feel very desperate to play through this level it atmosphere is

    too dark too hellish too desparate they make this game too much of a darkness to so i feel very uncomfortable to play this game and it may feel so scary and awesome but the longer i play the more stress that i get it not relaxing to play

    at all!

    The graphics is great the story dark and the gameplay as dark as a FPS game

    could get,at 8.5!

  • he gave the game a 7.8... its not like he hated it. thats about adverage or better.... jesus, calm down

  • This guys nuts, If it wasn't for Bioshock I'd even consider the darkness the best game of 2007!

    Its an excellent game, almost reverse horror noir!!!

    Really well put together game!

  • @STUNTS1516 modern warfare, mass effect, SMG, orange box, halo 3 (arguable)... i mean, i havent exactly played alot of the game but these are some pretty fricken awesome games... is it really that good?

  • @XxDirtyxXxShiznoxX your right about the disc but xbox still has that red ring of death I think

  • How about which online play is better? 360 or ps3?.....xbox wins motherfucker

  • @ChesterCheeseburger have fun paying yearly

  • @yoyodud3 i dont mind paying for multiplayer thats good

  • @disturbed6K9 Now let's talk about the menu, you can customize the ps3 home menu but I don't think you can do that with a 360 BECAUSE I DONT LIE XBOX 360 BITCH. Last, 360 has that big power brick, I can knock you out with that thing. So stfu

  • @omygod143 u can do that u fuckin dumdass

  • @disturbed6K9 Next, the 360 over heats so try playing 10hr of games on that thing. Plus you have to spend more on a fan just to keep it cool asshole. Oh and you have that big power brick, I can knock you out with it. Both 360 and ps3 has a 120gb hard drive, but for the ps3, we can upgrade that to a 500gb hard drive for $120 or more.

  • @disturbed6K9 ok listen up, you only talk about the game and the softwear(the mean menu) and the game cube was better than the first xbox. Anyway, let's talk about hardwear motherfucker, the ps3 has better graphics than the 360 because the blue-ray disc has 50GB of memory and the 360 only has 15GB, that sucks for you. Next, 360 has the "ring of death" so good luck with that.

  • @omygod143 PS3 has the YLOD and the space on a disk doesnt determine the graphics.

  • Guys, guys, he says it's bad because he's playing it on xbox 360. If he was to play it on the ps3, he wouldn't sound so dumb.

  • @omygod143 ps3 sucks...no one ive met can name one things that the ps3 has that is better then the xbox 360.....ps3 players pay more for games,games are crappier,have less features,less games,annoying dashboard,stupid controllers,

    god looking at that the gamecube is better then the ps3........

  • @disturbed6K9 lol ps3 sucks..Hey look you found an xbox360 hater. When you look at the Atari and the xbox, the Atari owns it by far. honestly ping pong vs halo3. Ping pong Ftw cause halo smells like shit. Gears of war vs pacman? pacman Ftw cause gears of war sucks so bad and on pacman there's no glitches:D

  • @jasano1234 lol

  • Looks repetitive?

  • I LOVED the darkness. It was my second 360 game, and i beat it like 5 times

  • The amazing graphics were not even mentioned....

  • i dont listen to ign anymore. they're full of crap. for one, this is just as good as chronicles of riddick and why the fuck would you bring up another game when reviewing this? you guys suck

  • i think i saw this for like 6 bucks used at gamestop.

  • @hotlikesummer Wow, I just noticed that. Poor guy...

  • this guy's parent's named him hilary?

  • @hotlikesummer lmfaaoo haha

  • the darkness is great

  • Demo sucked ass, but the actual game is my favorite on the 360. Great story and characters, plus it's only 10-20 dollars brand new these days. I would have bought it for 60 bucks.

  • @batista777 i followed this game for some time before it was actually released and i bought it at around that price and it is still worth every penny no matter what one person from IGN says lol its one opinion of many! this game rocks and will always rock! cant wait fore the 2nd game! come on 2k!

  • This is an awesome game..the storyline is great and the soundtrack is even better.

  • Dude stupid review! I really enjoyed this game. I liked the storyline and the gameplay was fun and brutal haha

  • Its world war one lol

  • 7.7? wtf to be honest I truly think this game deserves a 9 at least. My only prob is that you have to go over the same places all over again (limited amount of locations and always kinda the same) but overall it delivers a great storyline why the hell did it get a 7.7 only?

  • @gearsofhalotheftauto And one thing I HATE about these stupid reviewers nowadays is that they always have to bring up another game to a review. dude STFU about chronicles of riddick, if you think its better keep it to yourself, like honestly. He made the review look gay for such a great game.

  • this guy should be teached in history again.....

  • those are not nazis

  • i dont really like this game due to the fact of not really understanding how or why u get the powers but i guess thats just me and wanting to know everything about

  • @dunmer2000 I thought it explained pretty well where he got them from.

  • @dunmer2000 Jackie gets his powers because his grandfather was in WW1 and he found a vault where the darkness was stored. and when Jackie's grandfather found it, the darkness hid in his grandfather and was passed down to Jackie. That's the most i know about it.

  • this game had one of the best storyline ive ever seen gameplay 7/10

  • How many hours is this game I might replay it??

  • Its World War One They are not Nazi's

  • I know right. Nazi's do not have pointy helmets.

  • very good review but i will not be getting this game

  • You should, it's awesome.

  • a guys name is hilary his parents must of thought he was a girl when he was born

  • @SlayeroftheSky

    Most probably because he had no dick =/

  • i found absolutely nothing wrong with this game WTF!

  • afro samurai sucks. saint row is stupid, but the rest is good

  • can anyone give me some games to get for christmas....i cant think of one to tell my mom to get me haha, PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • Cod MW2

    Saints Row 2

    Afro Samurai

    Bioshock

    =3

  • Your character definitely goes back to the first world war. Trust me. I dont mean to sound like a know-it-all but im a history major who has done a lot of research on WW1. For anyone who hasnt played this game, you start out in the present day where, yeah, you can use M16's and shit, but you unexpectedly travel to the trenches of world war one where you can only use one shot bolt action rifles and mauser pistols. It doesnt last too long though. Also, IGN reviewers are all pretentious assholes.

  • It cant be world war one, cause in the beginning you see him using a TMP and an M16.

  • It's world war 1. This reviewer has no credibility.

  • major fucking gay ass lag

  • now this review is the biggest bull the games not that bad in contrary the story is brilliant so fuck off with you dont have to read the comics at 2:40 the comment about dumb a i is shite because that wasnt an enemy it was a bad guy but it was one of the goth people from the bar who talked about the sweds and if you review one game by comparing with another is lame buy the game look for yourself its only ten bucks for crying out loud

  • this reviewer is a complete muppet tbh

  • IGN hates every fucking game they can never give a GOOD review they make all of these great games sound so bad. The Darkness is an incredible game you won't be disappointed for the price it is amazingly good about 10 bucks.

  • @SandShinobi535 he is just mad because his name is hillary

  • Wow, Hillary? He needs to change his name in a hurry.

  • i am going to get this game tomorrow.

  • "World War 2" lmao I'm pretty sure it was World War 1 in the game, dumb very dumb reviewer lol great game tho

  • dude the darkness and chronicles of riddick are the same thing how could u say one is better than the other

  • i love how funny this game is i love mafia movies and i love horror films so it wasn't bad because i liked the dialouge

  • this game is good bought and the cheap a few days ago and you can't compare it to riddick its not really the same type of game you have to use guns on the darkness but you can sneak around everywhere on riddick. its on par with riddick on gameplay

  • This game is so bad..

  • im going to buy this game right now thanks IGN you pushed me over the edge by giving it a bad review now i go buy it and never will i ever buy res 5 cus its a joke.

  • Fuck IGN, he says "all you do is run around with your powers and kill people".

    Are you fucking kidding me?! Thats what you do in every other game! You run around and kill people, fuck hilary what a gay fucking name for a gay fucking dude

  • i agree with you here, screw hilary duff or hilary banks or w/e his name is. this game is way better than riddick, IGN suck, they give good games bad reviews so no onw buys them or knows how good they are. then they give bad games good reviews cough cough res 5 cough

  • @BestVideosEver01 lol ur retarded if u think re5 is a bad game...its the best game ever in every shape and form...

    graphics:5/5

    gameplay:5/5

    glitchless:5/5

    story:5/5

    replayability:5/5

    FINAL SCROE:makes this game look like it was made 100 years before re5....the darkness is crap

  • @disturbed6K9 Resident evil 5 pawns all

  • @BestVideosEver01 resi 5 was a good game, but i agree, they rate the games badly

  • @BestVideosEver01 so its fun and good

  • @BestVideosEver01

    there is no way the darkness is better than re 5, you have to be joking

  • this is a pretty damn good game

  • wat an idiot its world war 1 ffs

  • lol yea

  • Seriously, is he fucking blind? How can you overlook the spiked helmets?

  • @BobaMega I KNOW i was like im done with this guy, its fuckin world war 1 and those arent nazis for christ's sake.

  • this game rocks i am a fan of the comic book but the game dose a good job for the story line

  • graphics impressed me. ign are hard to please

  • the storyline was so fucking good.

  • this game kicked so much ass

  • this game is sick! i will eat ur face bitch

  • why do dudes call each other bitches? is that an american thing? fuck

  • He definetly sucked in this game review because this is one of the best games to ever hit playstation 2. I never played the "pitch black" games but if its better than this i cant wait to see what its like.

  • it was on ps2?

  • nup.

  • nope, i was trippin like a mufuc*a. LOL!!

  • it wasnt released on ps2

  • Wow, I cant fucking believe he says The Chronicles of Riddict is Better then The Darkness, lame review for IGN, I hold them close when searching out any game title... but not this

  • i liked riddick but this game has a superb story mode

  • yea i cant get past the darkness boss when u put him into solid form useing the extractors yea i can tget past that what do i do?

  • i just got this game today. ive only been on there for bout 2 hours but im already loving it. althou the ai never changes... ripping them to peices never gets old

  • yah this game is better then butcher bay kinda same gameplay (although this is much harder) but the story is soooooo much better my only real complaint with this game is that i wished he would run faster

  • this game is a classic. i still have it. it had a great story, and i thought the gunplay for the time was quite revolutionary, with the two guns being independent and having their own aiming reticles.

  • Cool

  • pwnd by history
