What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses?
I'm currently looking for a new Xbox360 game... Just beat Bioshock which was possibly one of the best video games I have ever played (regardless of system). I bought Assassin's Creed but, as I mentioned before I thought it beautiful, a huge massive world, but no side quests or options to explore or do anything but kill soldiers.
I started with Mass Effect and it just didn't grab me right away... It could get better but I am honestly surprised that it didn't snag me from the getgo.
Is The Darkness that game that I'm looking for? It's one thing to read reviews, but I like hearing feedback from you guys too. Personally, I thought that the reviews for Mass Effect was off; wish I had reached out to you guys first.
So. Anyway. The Darkness. Tell me about it. I'm intrigued.

Personally, I found it to be a lot like Bioshock. From the visuals, to the control, to the way everything flowed.
It's a lot of action, but at the same time, it has a developing story, and it's something I enjoyed a lot. I'll put it this way, after I beat Bioshock, none of the other games I have really compared. This one, I wound up, every night for a week, playing this until 3am. And I quit because I was about to pass out.
This one held my attention, as much or more than Bioshock. This one is a little darker (it's a mafia game, what do you expect?), but it's just as satisfying.
As far as the things I didn't like about it...Well...It ended...And the fact that a lot of the time you're playing, you're walking from point A to point B. It's not that bad, because it's driving you into the action. It's pretty fast paced, but some points in it, are a little slow. The same with Bioshock I suppose.
As far as good things...Everything but the bad things. :D
