Digital Extremes interested in making sequel to the Darkness II according to GameUnion
I finished playing the Darkness II and I liked it. It lived up to expectations I thought of after playing 1st part. Will the developers make the Darkness 3? Story was left incomplete, though many main characters are killed in this part, new characters can be created to extend the story.

The concept is so good that and different that the developers can easily make many sequels to the story. Again the main character, that is, Jackie Estacado being a gangster can easily make enemies more than he can make friends. More enemies means more fights, more fights means more events and to support these events a new story. Again the psychological factor of the game gives this game another field to develop in. I suggest that developers should churn out the new parts of the story when the concept is new. After a while many other developers will pick the concept making it old one.

When first game was released, fans of its comic books series weren’t happy because the whole plot and concept wasn’t up to their expectation. I have read the comics too and I too think that The Darkness and The darkness II isn’t as good as the story in comics. Many times the story in game slips from the main plot and goes into story of itself. Many characters that never existed in comics are introduced to increase the length of the plot. I don’t think Digital Extremes should continue making games from the Darkness Series.

Many fans of the comics weren’t happy about game, but not everybody can get comics due to low market for that name in their region or maybe due to other restriction. To make good story reach the people who are deprived of it, video game was developed. The comic book fans if not happy shouldn’t play this game but rather stick to comics. Another thing is that if the developers would have stuck to the plot of the comics, one would have finished the game in just 1 to 2 hours which would have destroyed the purpose of making this game. The developers have inserted their own plots and extra characters to keep the time required for game completion high.

I have played both parts in the Darkness series. The first part even though had a good plot and gameplay; it lacked the good controlling system. Guns in the first part were available for namesake; much of the game didn’t needed guns. The whole game was focused on dark powers of the protagonist. But in second part, gameplay is equally distributed in fights with dark powers as well as with the guns. Controls have been well developed. I say that Digital Extremes should bring out the third part with more improved graphics. I’m ready for the next part.

The game was good, but the story should have been more longer. I finished this game under 5 hours on highest difficulty, ‘Hitman’. The final boss was so easy with the amount of power we have. I attacked him with hordes of demons and dark powers, he fell on the ground. The developers should have had made the final boss more difficult. Maybe whole game should have made difficult. I hope that developers increase game's difficulty in next part.

The Vendatta mode that was provided, I found it as waste of time. Instead the developers should have had concentrated on increasing plot for Jackie itself. The Vendetta mode actually stole the fun of the game. I think that digital Extremes shouldn’t make this game. If any part is to be made in this series, let the original developers, Starbreeze make it.

The Darkness II was given the feel of being in a comic book, colors, lighting and effects created the feeling of being in an atmosphere that is depicted in a comic book. I think if any new part is being or if will be made, then developers Digital Extremes must emphasis on making the environment realistic. This would give it a better look. I personally think that the ‘Hell’ mode in this game is really boring. The developers should scrap that out.

I too am a fan of The Darkness series. I have played both games and read all its comics. I liked this game and the developers have done a good job. I am expecting a third installment of this game. The developers whoever is making the third part should see to it that they use usual normal textures for the environment rather than using cell shading and epic colors. Bring back the Jackie with old looks. Also if possible, I would like this game to be open world type of game. Relic collecting activity was good in first installment; it should be brought back in the third part. More upgrades should be provided for dark powers.
