On an off point, the Darkness itself was voice by none other then Mike Patton from Faith No More, also they didnt use any sound altering on his voice, its all him in his creepy splendor

FYI, the characters in the comics are completely different.

To my knowledge, they are set in the same universe with the same basic concepts. That is why they are mentioned in my review.

In other news: Egads! My old review has been resurrected!

Resurrected like Jesus, it just took longer than 3 days. Right you are about basic concepts, I was just adding my surprise at how different the characters are in the comic and the game. Main one being Jackie doesn't look like Morticia Adams in the comic and acts more like a douche.

If I had to chose between the douche or the crappy haircut, I'd have to go with Morticia Adams.

Great review. I too picked this game up and rented it over the weekend and I was highly impressed. Sure Jackie has as much forward momentum as a oblong section of concrete rolled down a moderate decline, but his darkness powers are awesome. Also Mike Patton > most voice actors.
I don't know if anyone else found this but while I like the way the game tries to alternate your hands to shoot around objects, it sometimes gets a bit cute for its own good and you waste round after round into the wall you are supposedly avoiding.

Respect to the people who mentioned the Jenny scenes; it is one of the most accurate relationships I've ever seen portrayed in games. You almost feel sad to leave her asleep on the couch (after you've got the achievement of course). It was like for a moment your character realises that there is more to life than wasting people ;-)
