Featuring a unique graphic-noir art style and a robust 4-player co-op campaign, this game offers an immersive experience that blends intense action with deep storytelling. ## Description The Darkness II is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2007 release The Darkness. Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first person action game that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror. Players will be taken down the brutal and personal path of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as The Darkness. The Darkness II stands out visually with its distinctive graphic noir style, and it is the only game that features Quad-Wielding: the ability to utilize four different weapons independently and simultaneously. Review: Worth Your Time! - Do you like comics? Do you like atmosphere? Do you like having two demonic tentacle heads protruding from your back that allow you to whip, grab, dismember, and look bad ass? Welcome to The Darkness 2. The Darkness 2 has a great story that loosely continues from the first game, don't worry there's a quick reintroduction by Johnny, but the game also grows on its own in many ways. Being possessed by this evil being you switch between realities, questioning your sanity as you try to discover why a secret group is searching for the Darkness. Along the way you relive past painful memories, protect your turf as a mafia boss, and literally destroy people in some of the most horrific scenes of dismemberment and butchery. Killing and eating hearts, yummy, will add to a counter of Dark Essence that you can use to unlock more advanced powers and bonuses. This gives the game a nice balance of action and attributes, allowing you to specialize and eventually master, all of the four talent trees. The action itself is done well, a mix of gun fighting and Darkness powers that can get pretty challenging on the highest difficulty towards the end of the game. You can always press select to show you the next location and the game auto saves enough that you never get frustrated with having to replay a long sequence. The voice acting and the care given to the characters is top notch and for those of us who appreciate it, very rewarding. The single player campaign is not too long depending on difficulty level and your level of expertise, but I found the story and atmosphere so refined that I thoroughly enjoyed my play through and recommended it. Also of note is the Vendettas campaign. There is a 4 player online co-op that intertwines with the single player story filling in some back story. Overall Vendettas is a fun diversion with friends but a little repetitive. You don't get to play as the main character Jackie, instead one of a set of four mercenaries that each have a personal weapon infused with Dark Essence. It's a cool story and Digital Extremes did a great job creating a world that feels true to its premise and rewarding for those who want to live it. Great characters like Johnny whose rants are hilarious as much as they are insane and the ever grunting Chief are some of the reasons everything resonates so well. The Darkness 2 is the best FPS I've played in a long while and it's definitely worth the time for someone who wants to go beyond the yearly mediocre call of duty. Review: Embrace the DARKNESS... - I loved the first game, then again the The Darkness comics are one of my favorites to read. First off, they changed the art style to be cel-shaded. This, as it turns out, was a great choice as it does have that comic book feel while you play. The graphics in general aren't bad, although it is sort of rough around the edges. There is a small amount of texture pop-in, but definitely not something that ruins the experience. The sound, in my opinion, is excellent! I play with my surround sound turned up and the immersion is great. Granted when the game launches from the XMB, during the intro bit the sound cuts out for a second or two, I haven't run into any other sound problems. Some others have noted that the PS3 has to check trophies, but it does not take too long so they should stop complaining. The story is superb with a somewhat predictable, yet sweet ending. Let's just say if they make a third game, it will be even more epic story wise. Anyways, the characters are well done, and by the end I absolutely HATED Victor, the main bad guy. Content wise it offers about five hours of gameplay, give or take depending on difficulty. There are four difficulty levels, but no one should have problems even on the hardest level, Don. Back to content! After the story, you can choose to do a New Game + where everything carries over from your previous session. Besides that, there is another mode called Vendettas where you can pick one of four characters to use for mini missions. Each character has their own set of powers to level up which if you want to max out should add a few hours to your overall gametime. Bottom line, I highly recommend this game. I paid $60 for it, and don't regret a single cent. ## Features - Quad-wielding chaos: Slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with the Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons, adding a new dimension to the FPS category. - Intense and personal journey: Experience a dark, twisted and gripping story written exclusively for the game by acclaimed comic book author Paul Jenkins whose credits also include The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, and the original The Darkness game. - Distinctive graphic-noir style: Graphic novel shading and color combined with the dramatic lighting of film noir pays tribute to the source material and brings the pages of the comic series to life. - 4-PLA YER CO-OP CAMPAIGN: Play as one of four unique characters each capable of wielding weapons infused with Darkness powers. - The Vendettas co-op mode features 4-player support, as well as a separate story and unique characters with abilities tied to the Darkness ## Images ![The Darkness II - Playstation 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oxjZRHfoL.jpg) ![The Darkness II - Playstation 3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YYkLD2F1L.jpg) ![The Darkness II - Playstation 3 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L38SDcmXL.jpg) ![The Darkness II - Playstation 3 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81o63aBir9L.jpg) ![The Darkness II - Playstation 3 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71udfbc5XpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Your Time! *by T***L on March 14, 2012* Do you like comics?

I then ordered this right away; it arrived when Amazon said it did. As for the game itself, plenty of violence, plenty of shoot-em-up, but the major downside to this is the campaign is EXTREMELY SHORT! I finished it in a couple of hours. Definitely not worth the release price of $59.99; but it is what it is. I gave this game three stars for the type of gameplay that I enjoy. You don't have to be a wizard at games to get through this, it has several levels from easy to really hard. Funny at times, and 'dark' most of the time. Graphics are unique in the fact that they look like just a comic book (there is some lag at times, nothing major). I recommend this game. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2K Games The Darkness II (PS3) - Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (PS3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1226844-the-darkness-ii-playstation-3](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1226844-the-darkness-ii-playstation-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
