Far from hot on the heels of its predecessor, The Darkness II is a follow-up to 2007’s The Darkness, a first person shooter that launched to pretty favorable reviews due to its gritty, noir-esque presentation, good narrative, interesting characters and, of course, the game’s titular Darkness powers, which helped it stand out in the overpopulated shooter genre. With a new developer at the helm, The Darkness II builds upon its predecessor with a new presentation and a new set of Darkness powers in tow.
