    An exemplary piece of game design that makes narrative ignorance all the easier. [Issue#55, p.86]

    We thought there would be a little bit more to the jetpack action announced. Surprisingly there is not. The lame story and always the same missions can’t excite for a long time. Dark Void ends up being just an ordinary “shoot and go” title.

    Dark Void is an impressive title that simply falls short of greatness due to being so run of the mill.

Baseline: It has problems, it's fun. Rent it.… Full Review »
