Dark Void is a new sci-fi action-adventure game that combines an adrenaline-fuelled blend of aerial and on-foot combat set in a parallel universe called "The Void." Players will take on the role of Will; a pilot dropped into incredible circumstances. While on a routine air cargo flight his plane crashes in the Bermuda triangle leading him to be trapped in the Void. This unlikely hero soon finds himself swept into a desperate struggle for survival at the head of a group called The Survivors. Caught in the Void, these resistance fighters are battling to hold off a mysterious alien race that plans to threaten Earth.Dark Void's unique combination of in-air and on-ground combat creates a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience. Taking 3D action to a whole new level, Dark Void's vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and drop enemies from above and below, bringing a whole new sense of vulnerability and thrill to the player. Defying gravity in vertical combat is only half the battle as, over time, Will is upgraded to a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat as gamers are able to fly through the Void at unparallel speeds shooting down anything that gets in their path.

A great game that slipped under the radar by many. A solid storyline with fun gameplay mechanics. The graphics are mediocre and so is the voice acting but if you look past that it's amazing.

More of a list filler than a first choice, has some good moments in it and in places feels fairly initiative. Lip sync, voice acting and general plot are pretty bad. But over all I am glad to have played it. It's a very easy 800+ gamer score and not that much harder to get the …
