I wouldn't have thought anyone was wowed by the graphics. It is an okay looking game with some excellent use of perspective but it isn't that impressive visually.
The reason I rate it highly and I'm sure this is one shared by other reviewers is because once I started playing I barely stopped until it was complete (not too hard considering how short it was). It is rare for me to find a game I complete without really knowing it. The time just flew.
The only down side I found was the character models and the length. I consider Butcher Bay the better game of Starbreeze's stables but they have every right to be proud of The Darkness in my eyes.
