![]() Its melody lingers, making you feel slightly uneasy. But those tones are what you end up remembering. Listening to the main theme, it’s a really lucid piece, playing tones that end up being quite ominous. Now, as I previously brought up - how does The Darkness II hold out to this test of a memorable melody? It holds out very favorably. Music is a respectable art that deserves a proper form of composition, so I approve of what Timothy has done in The Darkness II. Composition wise, this is a very difficult task to be able to do. Now, I don’t mind having several tracks with differing intensities, as I run into this a lot on game soundtracks, but sometimes it’s good to have a single track containing all the intensities harmoniously married together over the course of a piece. Many of these tracks consist of various intensity levels - from stealthy, to full-on-action - all crammed into a neat package. ![]() The game soundtrack mostly consists of battle music. It’s a great game, and if you get a chance to play it, play it. I’m not going to get into the story much further than that, unless you want me to spoil the story with the track names. You can go into a battle, head on like Leroy Jenkins, or you can stealth up (in the dark) like Solid Snake. Now in the game itself, The Darkness II starts off with our main hero - Jackie Estacado - who’s a hitman with superpowers. How does The Darkness II hold out to this test of a memorable melody? I tested the main theme, to see if I could remember it after playing the game. For whatever reason, I had a hunch that I would end up forgetting the main theme for The Darkness II. The Darkness II soundtrack starts off very grim and slow. In reality, the Darkness is often a very harsh and contemptible character, and his music is only harmonious to that feeling throughout the game. How else do you expect the Darkness to regain its health? That’s essentially the Darkness, right? It’s not a big stretch of the imagination to fathom the Darkness as an emotionally confused character, but that feeling fizzles out over the course of playing the game. It will come for you, and when it finds you, it will play the most melancholy melody imaginable - then it’ll probably gut your heart, as painfully and memorably as possible. ![]() Oh glory! From the Darkness II awakens the horror, walking among us and lingering in smoke and shadow. ![]()
