A good game that falls short

This game is a crap ton of fun. The shooting feels great and all the cool stuff you can do with the tentacles makes you really feel all powerful. It controls great, the story is pretty interesting and the graphics manage to capture the comic-book fell well. The main problem ? This game is incredibly short. It took me 11 hours to get all the achievements in the game, which include finishing the game twice (once on the hardest difficulty setting), get every collectible, and finish the coop campaign (which, by the way, isn't very good). Add to that the promise of DLC that never came out, and you understand why I think The Darkness 2 falls short. If you can find the game at a low price, you should definitely check it out, but only in that case.
