Advantages: Good presentation, cheap price

Disadvantages: Multiplayer is not that good, graphics are average

This game was not of much interest to me when first released, but is now just over £6 on Amazon. However, instead of just buying new, I checked my local store too and got it for £3.99 pre-owned, the cheapest I have ever bought a PS3 game.

The Darkness is rated 18. It is for 1-8 players and is a first person action game. You have to battle various enemies, set in a rather scary area. The controls are pretty much what one would expect. Your weapons are also a little far out. Apart from regular weapons, you also have special 'Darkness' powers (Creeping Dark, Demon Arm, Darkness Guns, and Black Hole). Sometimes these are quite powerful, but I found them frustrating. Black Hole is pretty good though and sort of sucks anything into it that comes into range.

The single player game is pretty good, multiplayer on the other hand is lacking. The game presentation and idea is good. However, the graphics could be more polished, as could the opponent AI. So, not the best PS3 game, but for a fiver it is a good value purchase.

Summary: For a fiver it is a good value purchase
