While in the first game demonic powers complemented first-person shooter mechanics as auxiliary gameplay mechanics, in The Darkness II your supernatural abilities are pushed right into the foreground from the word go. This sequel, at first glance, is a slightly odd beast. It's all based on the comic of the same name (created by Marc Silvestri and Garth Ennis), though developer Digital Extremes (like Starbreeze before it) has taken a grittier, less fantasy-oriented direction than the source materiel. This demonic force has suitably demonic plans for Jackie but, having risen to the top of the mob, he's been keeping it in check for the last couple of years. I liked the game so much i am currently looking for the first one and will buy a sequel.The Darkness is back, and it's darker (of course!) and bloodier than ever! It's about Jackie Estacado, a mobster who, on his 21st birthday, wound up hosting the Darkness, a sentient demonic force from the dawn of time. If your ok with your teen playing it than that is your choice as a parent but i would say 16+ at least) The game is very fun and i recommend it to any ADULT gamer that enjoys a really great story line and mindless killing with a fun twist.(I say adult gamers because of the language and even se xual content.
