More On: The Darkness II
2K and Digital Extremes present today the first standalone gameplay video for The Darkness II. Most of the footage is taken from the demo I previewed at PAX East, and pretty appropriately displays the kind of cruel and creative ways you can kill your enemies using the unique quad-wielding controls.

You can get a glimpse at protagonist Jackie Estacado overcome by the Darkness as he grabs enemies to tear them apart with his demon arms, or alternatively use his arms to wield the more traditional defensive approach of both a shield and weapons. Although, based on my short time with the game in Boston, I heartily suggest using the demon arms to their full extent.

Take a look at the video below for a glimpse into the storyline, context behind Jackie’s consumption by the Darkness, and what kind of trials you’ll be put through; or, more accurately, what kind of trials you’ll be putting your enemies through.
