Ballistics Report

Pros

Excellent graphics
The Darkness is one of the best looking console games yet released with an array of impressive technical features

Darkness powers
Your use of the supernatural abilities in the game can be fun for a while; eating hearts to gain abilities is sick but nifty

Playing as a Darkling in multiplayer
This adds some variety in the fairly standard multiplayer modes.

Cool extra content
Being able to read a number of Top Cow comics is cool.



Cons

Tedious gameplay
After a few hours you wish there was more from the game than just shooting and using your powers on enemies

Poor AIIt's scripted which makes it pretty simple to take out foes

Long and frequent load times
You will be waiting around a lot to get to the game's various locations.

Mixed voice acting
The Darkness has a cool voice but everyone else seems to be slumming it.
