Embrace the Darkness 2 XBox 360
Embrace the Darkness 2 review, well on that topic, I have read some critic reviews who have commented highly on how great the gameplay is and what an intense and awesome storyline as well, well, while some gamers are not too happy with the wielder roaming about the streets with no connection or interaction with anything at all, and while some are not too happy with having to play the game in the dark because the character and player feel more comfortable in the dark and if exposed to light, have a case of blurred vision.

But with the storyline and such a great character it would be thrilling to play the game in a deep dark room, now that would be intense wouldn’t it? The storyline is amazing. We see the main character is Jackie Estacado, who, on his 21st birthday was possessed by an ancient demon entity and in turn Jackie got supernatural powers, and using his powers he became the Don of the crime mob, the Franchetti family. Even though Jackie lives a nice life as a don, there were some who wanted his powers, so we see Victor Valente, who is the head of an ancient secret society known as The Brotherhood. The secret society was founded on the grounds that they will protect the innocent from the darkness but as generations and years go by, the brotherhood became more and more corrupted and evil and now the head, Victor Valente wants to steal Jackie’s powers and use them on his own for evil purposes.
In The Darkness II, some new features have also been added. One which allows Jackie to use The Darkness and guns simultaneously called “quad wielding”. We shall discuss about the other feature as we go on. We will get to see Embrace the Darkness 2 made available for Microsoft Windows, Embrace the Darkness 2 Playstation 3, Embrace the Darkness 2 XBox 360. The sequel was supposed to be released on July 10, 2011 but was delayed to October 4,2011 and futher again postponed to February 7,2012. Written by Eisner award winner Paul Jenkins, the sequel is set to be a huge success because earlier this year in January two sets of demos were released. On the first demo we see Jackie getting tortured and crucified by a mob who wanted him to give up his powers and in the second set we witness a sudden attack made on Jackie in a restaurant which further led to a huge gun fight ending at the railway lines and Jackie getting struck by an oncoming train. The demos have received nothing but all positive responses.
What is really cool is that when Jackie uses his demon arms for finishing, the player can execute the enemy in gruesome ways and similarly The Darkling also has special powers like urinating acid on an enemy, or poking eyes out using thumbs or ripping out throats of an enemy. And this is where the other new feature comes in, because after each kill, the hearts of the enemies collected and the number of enemies urinated on adds to the “dark essence” of Jackie, which is a substance and in a process allows Jackie to “chaarge” his enemies’ heartwith energy, throw it and create a void of vacuum which gives him thew ability to see and attack through walls, a feature called “swarm” in which Jackie summons a swarm of flies to attack and stun a lot of enemies all at once, and another feature called “gun chanelling” which gives Jackie, but for a short period of time unlimited ammunition and can also take on supernatural damage all at once.
So all you fanatics out there, the game is on and The Darkness 2 will be released on February 7, 2012 in North America and February 10, 2012 in Europe and Asia. Here is me wishing the creators and Paul Jenkins a huge success and hoping to see and get maybe a new sequel in the upcoming year. Cheers!
