I am the proud owner of a copy of Overlord and a pleasantly pleased owner of The Darkness both for 360.
The Darkness is a good game...but it does not tie in too well with what the COMICS where about. Now in the comics, Jackies main powers of the darkness where; The Darklings. In the comic he can command legions of them alongside his other darkness powers.
But alas in the game, Darklings are more of a side thought. You can spawn them from darkness holes (Kinda like in Overlord) but only one per hole and at most you may have only 5 Darklings on your screen at a time. This way the darkness is more about using that giant octopus tenacle arm and spamming your darkhole (which I have not seen in the comics). In this way it looses the spirit of the comic. Darklings not tentacles.
Now in the Overlord, they made a system that you can control up to 50 minions at a time, and control them in a non retarded way.
Now I ask, dont you think the Darkness, would be better off if it had a system to control your darklings like you can control your minions in Overlord?
Well at least it would be closer to the comic
