"The Darkness is a remarkable action game that tells a compelling story from start to finish."
--Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot

"The environmental design of both the darkness realm and New York City is breathtaking. The lighting effects and texture design makes everything look as real as any other game on the market—specifically in New York."
--Ted Dedon, Gamer 2.0

"Rest assured, the game has two basic locations, and they couldn't look or play out more differently from one another. You bounce between the two areas, leading up to an impressive finale."
--Matt Leone, 1UP

"The back-and-forth structure is tedious, and the narrative needed to be much more fleshed-out."
--Jonas Allen, DailyGame

"The graphics are pretty astounding when you stand still, but frame rate starts to drop faster than uncle Vinny in cement boots when you get moving."
--JP Hurth, Game Revolution

"The Darkness is a wonderfully gruesome adventure. There are some truly dark and even shocking moments in the story."
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN

"One of the most impressive looking titles so far on Xbox 360 The Darkness is nonetheless let down by poor AI from both the Darklings and the various mob and zombie soldiers that Jackie encounters."
--Jon Wilcox, Total Video Games

"...the game looks gorgeous, featuring dark, seedy locales and superb special effects. The gallons of blood. The tentacle detail. The characters. It's without question one of the best looking video games."
--Chris Buffa, GameDaily

"The gruesomely gritty nature of this new The Darkness comes through in a palpable sense of overwhelming dread juxtaposed with an awesome feeling of incredible power."
--Gabe Graziani, GameSpy

"The single player campaign is a completely enjoyable experience and the multiplayer action is competent enough to offer many more hours of fun to this title."
--Adam Brown, Cheat Code Central

"Part of The Darkness’s charm is its wealth of extravagant, often irrelevant detail. "
--Charles Herold, The New York Times

"It's one of the best games of the year so far, and it's certainly one of the best on the PS3."
--Ben Dutka, PSX Extreme

"You may not fall head over heels in love with The Darkness’ gameplay, but like the demonic beast that controls Jackie, this game knows exactly what it needs to do to keep you locked in and lusting for more."
--Andrew Reiner, Game Informer
