The Darkness demo slithers onto the XBLM (finally)

by Dustin Burg on Jul 20th 2007 10:45AM

We were promised it in June, it was then delayed a few times, but it is finally here. Up on the XBLM this morning is a 1.27GB single player The Darkness demo featuring three campaign levels of death, darkness and more death. And if you don't already know, The Darkness has received generally favorable reviews for its campaign although most everyone agrees that its multiplayer is rather lackluster. But the demo is all about the campaign, so if you have yet to get your hands on The Darkness we advise giving the demo a download and experiencing first hand what black eels with teeth protruding from your body actually feels like.

hahaha! What!? Shouldn't they release this kind of thing BEFORE the game drops? I don't know... What I DO know, is that this game is a lot of fun, and worth buying (or at least renting).

I hope they didn't spend a lot of time on this demo instead of fixing the mp lag issues :)
The multi-player could be fun if it wasn't so jittery.

lol

that should have read:
(insert display string text)
lol

Heh, I did notice that before the demo was released

Agreed that the DEMO should always drop before the full version. However, I'm probably gonna check this out - it looked like it had potential.

Steer clear of this crap. Most over-hyped game of the summer.

I'll probably download this one. Does anybody know if GoW is ever getting an XBL demo? I figure everybody on the planet but me has played it by now, but I thought it might still be worth asking...

i've played this game. its quite cool.

but.. don't we have enough of these FP shooters already? it's FPS this, or FPS that, etc. different settings, characters, etc. but it's all the same set up.

anyhow, shouldn't demos drop before the game comes out?
