Summary: With no Demo on live and no copies for rent, i took a chance and purchased this game...and i was not dissapointed. From the great graphics to the compelling story, i am hooked. I was concerned the Darkness feature would come off as gimmicky or the game would simply rely on it but it balances the game play quite nicely. one problem i have with the game is the "open" type enviroment. it is very easy to get lost and pretty much impossible to find a certain building without wondering around aimlessly for some time. the other shortcoming would be the multiplayer. it is nearly impossible to find a lag free game and there just isnt much thought put into it. it can be real funny transforming into a darkiling and climbing on the ceiling but it wears old fast. all in all it's a great single player game but with a tacked on lame multiplayer, i would still recommend to anyone who enjoys a good shooter.
