Rating : - Surprisingly Satisfying
My expectations were fairly low on this game, even though it was was recommended to me by a friend. Playing through this game is turning out to be a great experience.

The story itself is so-so. The mafia-based struggle is the real driving force and plays out well. But, the whole Darkness conflict seems to fall apart the more I think about it. The Darkness can control him, but it can't? If you don't think about it too much, it works fairly well.

The voice acting is top notch. If the on-screen presentation of said acting was better, the atmosphere would have really benefited tons.

The gameplay is very reminiscent of Condemned, but without the crime-solving. I say this in a good way, as I don't think there is much more they could have done to improve this aspect.

Overall, a very solid game with a lot of well polished features. There is a lot to like about this game, and the stuff I do point out is just me being over-critical of it. I thoroughly recommend this.
