The Darkness II is a first-person shooter that follows mafia hitman Jackie Estacado. It's the sequel to the original Darkness, which launched in 2007. The original Darkness, which launched in 2007, followed the exploits of Jackie Estacado, a mafia hitman operating out of New York. Jackie's life took an interesting turn when his body became the host of the powerful force known as the Darkness. This not only enabled him to survive an assassination attempt, but it also helped him take control of the Franchetti crime family.

In the Darkness II, you'll once again take control of Jackie as he struggles with the powers of the Darkness. The games are based on a comic series of the same name that debuted in 1996. The franchise deals with a variety of not-safe-for-children topics like violence, sex, crime, and malevolent dark forces. In other words: for mature audiences only.

The Darkness II takes place two years after the events of the first game. Jackie Estacado now runs the Franchetti crime family and has suppressed the Darkness powers in his rise to the top. But after a surprise attack by an opposing mob, Jackie's powers have erupted once more.

To make matters even worse, a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood is working feverishly to steal the Darkness powers from Jackie. Let's not forget that Jackie is also haunted by the memories of his lost love, who was murdered before his eyes while the Darkness spirit forced him to watch.

Clearly, Jackie has some problems that need solving.

With "quad-wielding." This phrase refers to Jackie's ability to carry two guns and use his two demon arms simultaneously for a wealth of offensive options.

For those that love bullets, Jackie can use a delightful assortment of pistols, submachine guns, rifles, and more. But if you're more inclined towards the demonic arts, Jackie's Darkness powers will do the trick. The left arm is used for grabbing and throwing objects, and the right arm is used for melee attacks. If you see a saw blade on the ground, the left arm can pick it up and toss it through a goon's chest, splitting him in half. And if some fool gets too close to Jackie, the right arm can smack him into the air.

When you stun an enemy and grab him with the Darkness, you can perform a variety of executions. The "wishbone" pulls the poor victim in half while the "spinal tap" rips out the enemy's spine. It's worth noting that the spine can then be thrown at another enemy if you so desire -- oddly hilarious. There are plenty of these executions to unlock along the way.
