    Was super excited about this one, turns out I should'nt have been. TO say this game is BAD is an understatment. Perhaps the worst game I've ever played...really it's that bad. If you buy this game then let me just say you are the biggest IDIOT ever!

    I was really excited for this game...even pre-ordered it. Well I played it for about 3 hours. I cried...the flying mechanic is terrible, the story is crap, and really it had all this "potential"...but yeah don't pick this up. Even if your best friend is trying to sell you this game and you are just now reading the reviews on this site don't buy it. Unless if he's I was really excited for this game...even pre-ordered it.

But say NO!!! An then slap him for making such a terrible offer!!!… Expand

    Une espèce de TPS avec option volante, en l’occurrence un jet-pack à la mords-moi-le-noeud qui fait penser aux combats aériens (très énervants) d’un certain Crimson Skies… un peu normal puisqu’il s’agit apparemment du même studio. Ici, on combine donc des conneries dans les airs avec d’autres conneries par terre, notamment une sorte de ‘Gears-like’ mais en très mal fait…

    En ce qui concerne l’emballage, on nage ici en pleine uchronie à l’instar d’un Wolfenstein par exemple puisque cet étron de jeu se déroule pendant la seconde guerre mondiale ou juste avant. Mais avec des… euh… des quoi déjà ? des robots ou des extra-terrestres ou je-ne-sais-quoi… enfin, des ennemis quoi.

    Des tas d’ennemis très résistants : il faut leur tirer une heure dessus pour qu’ils daignent enfin crever. Ou alors, on tire peut-être des balles en mousse, je ne sais pas au juste. L’environnement est en tout cas très couloiresque avec scripts à la clé et décors d’un goût quelque peu générique, vaguement SF, je suppose. Mais qui exhalent l’ennui et/ou l’indifférence. Seuls les effets sonores sont assez réussis.

    Les sensations sont mauvaises, la jouabilité est très imprécise, le système de couverture est perfectible, les voix sont en anglais et enfin, si l’on avait besoin d’une confirmation, la voici : cette daube pondue par ce développeur amerloque (heureusement disparu depuis) est édité par Catpron, le très fameux éditeur d’étrons vidéo-pas-ludiques ! si c’est pas un signe, ça…    … Expand

    it's a mediocre game, in all senses. the TPS parts look a lot like a gears of war wannabe, the jetpack parts are mostly just frustating, the bosses are easy and just bad. the scenario is sometimes so dark you end up not knowing where to go because of the dark scenario where you can't see what's around you well. the history is foolish and totally non-sense.

The final boos is a ender dragon on steroids that's actually much easier than the real ender dragon. the only great part was the prison escape chapter, chapter III of the third episode shows a gears of war knock-off, and actually, i would recommend a game that does what this tried, but well.

    Instead of buying this, that may look cheap and promising, take a look at Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, it will surely be way better than Dark Void.    … Expand

    It's just a damn shame that the nigh-amazing "The Rocketeer versus UFOs" premise crashes hard into "tepid Gears of Uncharted knock-off" ground.

    Dark Void’s single real achievement is the way it blends in-the-air and on-the-ground action without creating a horrible accident of compromise. While the game can be a lot of fun on a mechanical level, it’s not quite different enough to feel like a brand new experience, and there are enough minor-yet-noticeable problems that make it harder to appreciate the overall package.

    Dark Void can be summed up in just six words: so much potential, so much disappointment.
