April 12th, 2007 - On his 21st birthday, the awesome
and terrible powers of the Darkness awaken within
Jackie Estacado, a fearless mafia hitman for the
Franchetti crime family. Though Jackie’s supernatural
entity lets him wreak havoc on his enemies, the
Darkness also has a strong will of its own. Jackie
must learn to contain the power of the Darkness if he
hopes to regain control of the Franchetti family and
oust his despicable Uncle Paulie.
As you fight your way through the dark and seedy
underbelly of New York City as well as the ethereal
realm of the Darkness, you can impale or implode your
enemies. You can even cannibalize the corpses of your
slain victims and transform them into Darklings –
impish and hilarious demonites that commit unspeakable
acts. The game features twenty different types of
Darklings, like the kamikaze, interrogator, ceiling
ninja, fetcher, and more.
The game also features an online multiplayer mode,
where you can pit your Darklings against other players
in both traditional and innovative gaming modes.
In addition to some beautiful next-gen graphics and
fully interactive environments, the game features some
top-notch celebrity voice talent, such as Kirk Acevedo
(Band of Brothers, Oz) as Jackie, Mike Patton (lead
singer of Faith No More) as The Darkness and Lauren
Ambrose (Six Feet Under) as Jenny.
The Darkness was developed by Starbreeze - the team
behind the critically acclaimed “The Chronicles of
Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.” Based on Top Cow’s
comic book, “The Darkness,” the game is written by
Paul Jenkins, a seminal writer in the comic book
series.
