The Darkness II

In the two years since the events of the first game, Jackie Estacado has become the don of the Franchetti crime family. Though he still wields the Darkness, a malevolent force that has given him supernatural powers, Jackie has suppressed the entity, thanks to guidance from estranged occultist Johnny Powell. Jackie still struggles with the death of his girlfriend, Jenny Romano, which the Darkness had prevented him from stopping.
The game is based on the comic book series The Darkness; The author of the original comic has written the story and screenplay for this game, which provides a sense of suspense and horror with a game that has blood, gore and violence. The game itself goes in depth and provides a interactive comic book style adventure throughout making a great play for fans of the original and fans of the comic.

This feature adds a sense of more aggressive combat in the game which lives up to the comic and surpasses the efforts of the first game. Also on top of the new combat features, The Darkness II utilizes the dark noir look by adding comic like shading combined with the dramatic lighting of film noir. Collectively with all the new features and perks The Darkness II pays tribute to the origin material and brings the pages of the comic to life.
