Jackie Estacado, the main character, has become the don of the Franchetti Family. Jackie still has the Darkness inside him but has managed to suppress it's powers. Jackie is soon attacked by an unknown enemy, releasing The Darkness that he has kept under restraint for 2 years. We later find out that this unknown man wants to take The Darkness power away from Jackie and will stop at nothing to extract this power from Jackie. This unknown enemy will stop at nothing, whether it be killing Jackie, or killing his own family. Jackie's goal is to stop this man, no matter the cost. This installment in The Darkness series "The Darkness 2" features a new gameplay mechanic called "quad wielding", a technique that allows the player to use The Darkness and guns along side each other. The player also has a companion named "The Darkling" that follows the player around and assists in killing enemies and providing funny chatter throughout the game. The Darkness 2 also has some RPG elements in it. It allows the player to chose from a wide variety of skills on a skill tree and is split up into different sections. The player can choose to purchase certain skills by using Essence, which can be acquired by killing enemies, discovering relics, executing enemies, and devouring hearts. Wikipedia describes "The Darkness 2 Gameplay" as follows: "The Darkness II" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkness_II "The Darkness II plays similarly to its predecessor, but with the introduction of new features such as "quad wielding," a technique which allows Jackie to use both the Darkness' "Creeping Dark" tendrils and firearms simultaneously. The player has access to one Darkling, who is involved in the plot and useful in various situations. The player can use the "Creeping Dark" tendrils to slash or pick up enemies for executions or to simply throw them, or various items within the environment (parking meters, car doors, etc.) and use them as projectile weapons or shields. Each kill, discovered relic, and execution earns the player Essence, which allows players to purchase new abilities from Talent Shrines. Devouring hearts restores Jackie's health and earns Essence. Like the previous game, Jackie loses his powers in the light, though in this game light also causes Jackie's vision to brightly blur and is coupled with a high-pitched ringing." The Darkness 2 also has online Multiplayer. Vendettas is a seperate co-op campaign that runs alongside the main campaign. It allows up to four players to play cooperatively. The co-op campaign story follows four hitmen that work for Jackie as they attempt to try and stop The Brotherhood from obtaining the "Spear of Destiny". Each of the four players feature in the co-op campaign have unique Darkness powers and each have a unique weapon specific to each character. The Darkness 2 Currently has a 80.90% on Gamerankings and received mostly positive reviews from game critics. http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/621308-the-darkness-ii/index.html Bit-Gamer gave The Darkness 2 a 85/100 on Metacritic and PC Gamer gave it a 80/100. Here is an excerpt from the PC Gamer's review on The Darkness II (The Darkness 2): "Four arms: it was so obvious. It must be galling for other shooter developers. They've spent decades since Doom trying to work out ways to innovate on the FPS model, to make shooting people feel fresh and interesting again. They've tried vast open worlds and they've tried hurling Hollywood-size production values at projects, but the Darkness II manages it by just giving anti-hero Jackie Estacado four arms. " Thanks for watching!
