Just like a movie...
- Pros: Well, this game is one of the most story based shooters that I've played in a long time. The graphics are superb at the least, and it really puts the 360's graphical capability to its fullest. The shooting is fun, and the darkness powers live up to their awesomeness. The little hellspawns (not their actual name, btw) that you can summon are funny, and when used correctly, awesome. It feels just like a movie....
- Cons: It feels just like a movie... the story gets OLD after the first time you play it, there are a few enemies here and there without offering any excitement in your "in between" missions. Executions do not have any variety, and unless you're extremely lucky, you can pull off one that you haven't seen before. Some graphical limitations are noticed here and there -clipping, especially when you eat hearts, and Jackie's mouth doesn't move. Furthermore, the antialiasing sucks. Weapons get old, and so do the darkness powers, and to top it off, your little minions that you summon are sometimes too dumb to even attack your enemies.
- Other Thoughts: Bought this full price, then traded it in for a little less than half over at gamestop. I got xxfor it, but let me tell you, that game was worth xx bucks -just wait until the price drops.
Great game first time through
- Pros: Very well written story that makes you feel like you're in the character's shoes. The people in the game feel very real when talking to them. If you like somewhat disturbing shooters like Condemned you should like this game. Being able to help out the citizens of the city is a nice add on also. Pretty long story also. The graphics on HD are amazing! One of the best shooters of this year.
- Cons: You might wind up fighting the same guys many times. Lack of direction at some times, making it hard to venture on.
- Other Thoughts: Multi player is lacking but at least there is one.

- Pros: Great Game, held my attention and kept me in suspense.
- Cons: None
Mediocre
- Pros: Humor and cinematic sequences.
- Cons: Very annoying combat system. If you're used to real time tactics ala Halo, you'll be disappointed here.
- Other Thoughts: Doesn't live up to the Hype. Good thing it was cheap.
just found.
- Pros: same as my other post
- Cons: a really bad glitch when you play on hard. after the intro section of the game and you get blown up you can not fire your guns. you can watch the finger pull the trigger and the hammer pull back but they will not fire
