It is built around more than just shooting. It gives you a wide range of powers with which to play.

It gives you people to interact with. It gives you a story that is worth caring about. And it makes you feel as if you are The Darkness itself.

However, this is pretty much a must play shooter, if not quite the classic I was hoping for.'
