Gameplay:
After playing The Darkness again for a little while, I still had a lot of fun with it. It's fun to progress further in the game to upgrade your darkness powers. The narrative of the story is still very interesting and it has you interacting with other main characters like Jackie's girlfriend and also his mother.
Some of the side quests get a little boring because usually they are just fetch quests, or just walking back and forth between places talking to people. The actual gun-fighting and story segments of the game are still very enjoyable though.
Design:
I like the innovative use of the Darkness powers in the game. In addition to shooting you can also do things such as impale enemies with a tentacle or create a miniature black hole that crushes them.
Although the levels are mostly set in new york, there are some weird levels set in the afterlife which look like a demonic version of World War 1 and 2 put together. These segments happen a couple times in the game, so they add variety.
The game keeps the player interested by allowing him to unlock more weapons and Darkness Powers throughout the game.
One thing I would change about the game is adding the ability to sprint or something, or just making the main character move faster.
