The Darkness II Goes Cinematic In Launch Trailer

February marks the first wave of anticipated gaming releases including the return of SSX and Twisted Metal, with a number of sleeper hits such as Kingdoms of Amalur, Syndicate, and Inversion.

Into our second month of 2012, we’ll also be stalking back into the role of mafia don come limb-shredding demon, Jackie Estacado, 2K providing followers with a new cinematic trailer.

A number of TSA staffers have had early access to the game and have more or less reached a general consensus. Head and shoulders above the 2007 Starbreeze shooter, The Darkness II combines its most rewarding elements with polished, mainstream-inspired shooting mechanics.

One aspect that impressed us the most is the inclusion of quad-wielding; as shown in the trailer, players will be able to sink bullets into their enemies, also being able to toy with them through the use of The Darkness.
