As the story progresses, Jackie must wrestle with which version is reality and which version is an elaborate hoax to keep him confused and controllable. Unlike the first game in the series, The Darkness II has no WWI in Hell scenes, but instead has you flipping back and forth between the violent world of Jackie as a mob boss and the clean, white and incredibly bright sterile world of Jackie the mental patient convinced there is a voice inside him called The Darkness. So many ways to kill, so few people to dismember. What follows is a lot of blood and limbless individuals. A rival group has apparently targeted Jackie for assignation and in the violence that ensues the previously contained Darkness is once again set loose on the seedy underbelly of New York City. Pulling him from near death on his 21 st birthday when his crime boss uncle attempts to kill him, it saves his life while ultimately costing him the love of his life, Jenny, and leaving him atop a crime empire. Pretty deep stuff right? The Darkness II continues the story of The Darkness’ latest host, Jackie Estacado, two years after The Darkness first manifested itself within him leading to a violent blood bath that put Jackie against a New York crime syndicate. Once The Darkness has you, you are no longer who you once were. Able to inhabit only one being, one family line, The Darkness grants unimaginable power to the host in exchange for control. Since before the beginning of time, before there was light there was simply The Darkness and The Darkness doesn’t much care for the light. Jackie Estacado is carrying a dark secret deep inside him, literally.
