When it launches next February, Digital Extremes’ comic-inspired shooter sequel The Darkness II will offer a narrative-focused “Vendettas” mode which can host up to four players. As the trailer’s narrator explains Jackie Estacado is caught in a fight between The Brotherhood, a shady organisation hell-bent on extracting his supernatural powers, and of course the Darkness itself which continues to torment him.
He therefore enlists the aid of four unsavoury characters, each bearing a personal gripe with The Brotherhood. Using the Darkness Jackie bestows them with augmented abilities and weapons, giving each one a unique feel though still preserving the gameplay’s element of accessibility. Vendettas will present players with a separate campaign of missions which run in parallel with the main game’s narrative.

Ahhh. The achievement list makes a bit more sense now lol. Cool, no problems with the game having co-op, though hopefully they don’t bother with the competitive modes from the last game..

Really enjoyed The Darkness thinking back, it was a bit of fun. Looking forward to the sequel.

Agreed. I only picked it up because the PS3 had sod all games at the time but I ended up really enjoying it. The ‘hell’ missions weren’t quite as good though. Still, the sequel is definately on my ‘to buy’ list
