Hm, looks like ex Valve talent Kim Swift ( of Portal fame ) arrived a little too late to save what has apparently become a sinking ship. Read more
- Looks okay and I guess the story is okay, even has a few cool gameplay ideas;
- It flops in just about every department and it tries too hard to be something it's not, completely failing to deliver the best of both old-fashioned air-based shooters and traditional 3rd person action games, weird camera ...

Once Dark Void's brutally short campaign is over, the game is over. Without a multiplayer mode, Dark Void rests on its single-player. Unfortunately, it's not up to the standards set by the best. Read more
- Flying is great
- Dated graphics, Uninspiring shooting, Generic enemies with poor AI

We were promised jetpacks. As a society. It's an idea as old as time, and you can read about it in old issues of Popular Mechanics magazine. There it is, clear as day. And where'd they get their proof? Read more
- The first thirty seconds of flight.

If the thought of having two canisters of jet fuel strapped to your backside gets your adrenaline racing, then you'll probably have a pretty good time with Dark Void . Read more

I’ve tried several times to write this introduction, and I just can’t seem to come up with anything I like. You can blame writer’s block, but the truth is that I always try to start an article with what I find most... Read more

This hybrid takes forever to start, and runs out of gas too soon. Read more
- Successfully combines genres; nifty setting.
- Takes a while to get going; graphically unimpressive; poor AI.

In light of this, the game still underachieves overall, which is very disappointing. The overall game time for Dark Void is around 6-10 hours (at best). Read more

Jetpacks are one subject that should always make for a good video game or film, especially if you throw in outer space and world domination. Read more
