Dark Void

Dark Void is pretty beat, seriously.

Ouch, Dark Void... I'm disappointed. You looked so bad ass too. Of course this is coming from playing the DEMO only, but even if the game is twice as good as the demo then it still wouldn't be worth another moment of time. The enemies themselves were pretty unexciting. Once I played the demo I felt I could imagine where the full game was generally going and I definitely wasn't down with that.

To rationalize my wasted time on the demo, I'll admit that:

1. Beating up robots and stealing their futuristic air-discs to fly around was pretty fun.

2. Don't know if this is good or bad, but it was a nice balance of retro and futuristic in one... sort of reminded me of the Rocketeer movie from the 80's/90s.

3. It's fun to see jet-packs

4. Scenery was aiight.

Maybe I'll give this title another chance some time, however I'm busy with other games that I'm enjoying much more.

Boo.

  I really wanted to like this game but the short campaign, lack of polish and little use of the star of the game (in this case the jet pack and vertical combat) left me very dissapointed. I did give it a 7/10 because the... Read Full Review
