  • Not really sold after the FIRST game. so I will be checking this out.
  • The Darkness....II!:P!@-___--@
  • I'll give it a try, If they show some good improvements from the first, I wouldn't mind picking it up :)

  • Sweet. I actually really enjoyed the first game. Despite the control issues, I got really attached to the characters (and by the way, I don't think that's a ridiculous thing to say. The first game had legitimate character development. There was even a bit at the beginning wher you could watch "To Kill A Mockingbird" - a fantastic film - IN ITS ENTIRETY with your girlfriend. One of the most real moments of romance in a videogame, ever. Made me cry like a baby when they killed her in front of you. I could go on about this for a LONG time, as you can probably tell). I'd imagine they're taking out the open world aspects of the game this time around, but I hope they preserve the great characters.
  • So much for Playstation Plus.
  • This pleases me.

  • super excited!!! i hope it handles silky smooth...unlike the first game....but that was a reaaaaalllly long time ago...im sure the contols are fine

    from what i remember i had fun with the original!
  • Already have it pre-ordered, but still can't wait to get my hands on this and try it out. This will ease the blow of going back to school considerably.
  • Can't wait to kill things with tentacles.

  • that is cool!!!!!

  • Never played the first one, cause it didn't really seem like something I'd enjoy. Nothing has changed to be perfectly honest but I'll totally download the demo, maybe I'll actually like it.

  • I'm hoping the rumors aren't true that they've scrapped the open world of the original for a more "linear" experience.  

  • I'll make sure to check it out on PS3 next week.
  • Im glad that there is going to be a demo, I didn't care for the first one but this one looked intriguing.

  • I'll give it a go.

  • Awesome! I'm already sold on it... but a demo will be nice =).

  • Sweet! I've been anxious to try this out. I really dig the art style.

  • Did not like the first one. But Ill check out the demo anyway. It may surprise me and I'll end up enjoying it.
  • PS3 owners have to wait a week...It appears 2k games have a deal with microsoft. i guess the same goes with the DLC. =(
  • I've been waiting for this game for awhile now. Hopefully the demo is more insightful than the first game's though.
