    Conclusion Dark Void was promising. Very much so, with its decent overarching storyline and gameplay innovations, such as Vertical Combat and jetpack vs. UFO dogfights. Unfortunately, despite expectations the final product falls short of its promise. The cover-based ground shooting of the game is far too unfleshed and quickly becomes boring, leaving you to loath the times when you can't just jet around. Read more

    It's a shame that Dark Void doesn't capitalize on it's high-flying potential as well as it could. And it's even more unfortunate that there's no way to face off with your friends in aerial combat or stunt competitions. Dark Void offers only a single-player campaign, and the story has enough intrigue to keep you mildly interested throughout. The adventure is reasonably long, and once it's over you can replay sections you enjoyed and continue to upgrade your arsenal. Read more

    • Jetpack is speedy and maneuverable, Great opportunities for daring stunts.
    • Too much time spent without a jetpack, Shooting is unexciting, Enemies are repetitive.

    Overall Dark Void is playable, but don’t expect any epic adventures of any real challenge or length. You’ll play it thru once… twice if you are an achievement whore. Pros Good sountrack and voice acting - Nice balance of ground and air combat - Vertical cover for something different - Cons A tad boring and uneventful - No multiplayer - Promising start...

    • A tad boring and uneventful - No multiplayer - Promising start... disappointing finish - Lack of challenging puzzles -

    At the end of the day it may be trite and an unfunny pun, but unless you’re a massive fan of Battlestar Galactica and have the ability to put shonky gameplay to the side, I’ll offer this one piece of advice… Avoid the Void. Read more

    • Batllestar-esque score.
    • Nolan North sleepwalking through another gig., Taking off in the jetpack., Lumbering start.

  • Manufacturer's Description

Dark Void delivers a ground breaking combination of fast paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action.Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension.
