* The climax of the game is an absolutely horrific MookHorrorShow. As Jackie’s powers keep growing stronger the more blood he spills, and with a solar eclipse making him even stronger, the Darkness proceeds to slaughter its way through Paulie's goons as the action goes from awesome to downright terrifying. Ripping chunks out of the goons with its Demon heads, tossing them around and skewering them with the Demon Arm, siccing Darklings on them, summoning black holes, even progressing to the point that it starts tearing up the mansion with its Demon Arms and even rips a helicopter out of the sky. It eventually culminates in the last surviving mooks cowering in a corner, [[AintTooProudToBeg begging on their knees for their lives]] as Jackie and a horde of Darklings ominously close in, before cutting to black with the [[SoundOnlyDeath sounds of the goons being ripped to shreds]].
** All the while, The Darkness is whispering in Jackie’s ear, reveling in the slaughter and driving Jackie to embrace its evil. Because of its wording, it almost sounds like The Darkness is [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou talking to the player themselves]].
-->"'''You like the blood, don’t you?'''"

Based on the Dark Horse's comic series with the same name, The Darkness tells the story of The Darkness, a creature 'old as time' that attached itself to a myriad of human hosts, giving them supernatural abilities such as MadeOfIron and HealingFactor. However, it comes with a high cost. The power imbued upon the host will gradually increase their lust for power, and will destroy their own soul if they can't control The Darkness. Many had fallen for this curse, and now the current host for The Darkness is Jackie Estacado, a member of TheMafia that receives his 'gift' on his 21st birthday. Looks like things are going to get ''very, very ugly'' for Jackie.

* The descriptions of some of the artifacts Jackie can find in the second game by Johnny Powell are descriptions of nightmare fuel occurring in the past, thanks to the Darkness, the Angelus, and the Brotherhood. Two of the worst are saved for tortures subjected on a Darkness host by the Brotherhood, including an iron strip that pierced the host's tongue and snapped his jaw.

And that fact didn't even slow them down! These are bad, bad people Jackie. And they have it in them to be a whole lot worse!
** For reference, the artifact that Johnny talks about in the above quote, the Blinding Sun, is basically a pear of anguish, a real life torture device.

** Roanoke's Bane: When the Darkness first came to America via one of the settlers at Roanoke, the Angelus possessed a Croatoan maiden and killed everyone there during the night - and still failed to kill the Darkness's host, who was away getting supplies. When Darkness and host had returned, the Angelus had already gone, leaving the village defenseless against the Darkness.
