The Darkness 2, sequel to the cult-hit, will be available in the US and Canada on October 4, with a global release coming on October 7. I never played the original Darkness but I saw this game back at PAX East and was impressed by the game’s surprisingly intuitive Quad-Wielding system, which lets players quickly switch back and forth between traditional weapons and your Darkness powers.
The Darkness was one of the unsung heroes of 2007, a perfectly capable shooter that was lost in the wake of bigger shooters like BioShock, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. Let’s see if the sequel can do better.
