Eurogamer gives 8 to The Darkness

There are things about The Darkness that will have you gurning with frothing appreciation and leave you in no doubt that Starbreeze is among the most talented developers in the world. Its ability to consistently inject new life into a resolutely tired genre shouldn't be underestimated. Just as Starbreeze managed with The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, the pacing's exquisite in that the game twists and turns in new directions just when it's required.

8 / 10

That is unfair. First I thought 1UP is giving it too much but after buying the game hours ago, I now believe its much more than 9. 8 is a it too low for this game. Its a kool as hell, follows Riddick's quality standards and has TV shows and movies + Multiplayer!

2.2 - Its orignal and whats best is

that both 360 and PS3 fans will get to play it. Im tired of playing all sequels and its good to give Devs Props for making an original IP. Im picking this up for sure.

3 - Never rely on 1 review source

I agree with you MK_Red, Eurogamer can sometime be overly harsh on some of their reviews. Another good exemple is their review of RE4 for the Wii, they gave it only 7/10 while all others gave it 8, 9 and above. So as a result, Eurogamers' reviews have lost some of their relevance for me.

Wow, didn't know they gave RE4 Wii a 7. Gamespot gave Wii version a 9.1.
So if thats the case, Darkness could be much much better than 8 and I really hope so since I've been following this new game for months.

8 0ut of 10 or 4 out of 5 is not bad at all. no game has a perfect ten or i haven't seen one yet. all of them has some kind of problem. some complain about the chronicles of riddick before, (no multiplayer, too short) but i played it and the game was one of the best best game I've ever played , i don't ignore everything that i read in reviews but I'm careful and i check it out myself to see if i like it or not. thats why i like demos, cause it really helps me to make a decision . I'll buy this game asap.

It looks like a good game. I'm going to get it no matter what the reviews say because I'm itching for a new FPS for my 360.

6 - FYI sale Price.

Just and FYI, if you have a Circuit City or Target in your area you can get a better deal.

Circuit City has it for $49.99 and Target has it at regular price but is giving a free $10.00 gift card.

have Fun, I know I will.
