Exciting aerial combat sequences, tight controls both in the air and on the ground, vertical cover novelty
Dull and dim-witted enemies offer little challenge, monotonous ground encounters, annoying escort missions
While its innovative premise and exciting aerial combat highlight this ambitious shooter, Dark Void's lacklustre AI, short campaign and lack of polish are detrimental to the game's overall experience...
Abstract: Dark Void is an interesting premise that aims high, however fails to deliver the vertigo inspired action in this 360 degrees third person shooter. The story of Dark Void revolves around a pilot named Will who finds himself trapped in The Void due to a ...

Zooming around with your jetpack can be a lot of fun, but routine shooter action and long flightless sections keep Dark Void from flying high....

Abstract: The idea of a personal, rocket-powered flight device has captured man's imagination for decades, yet the reality of such a device remains depressingly distant. This disparity between dream and reality mirrors the experience of playing Dark Void. There ...
