Dark Void Top Quality


The flight aspect of the game is extremely cool! :D It takes some getting used to, and the initial awkwardness in taking off gets old quickly. (note to developers: there should be at least 3 different takeoff postures where the character becomes more proficient as the gamers become more adept fliers), I hope the full game version features this nuance. The "special maneuvers" were cool but limited in the demo, though I can't imagine there are more that 6 in the game...so that gets a big yawn for lack of imagination, as you've got at least 16 stick combinations on the ps3 controller!!

The hijacking was actually quite fun. . The button mashing is not confusing, just tedious. And the piloting of the vehicles is just like the jet pack, so it is very easy to pilot the various craft. The hijacking scenes were repetitive, but in the demo there is only one flying opponent vehicle (for survival it's easier to hijack opponents and eject than it is to chase them down exposed, as ONLY the enemy you're hijacking shoots at you during a hijack!).

The melee feature is rudimentary, and preferable to gunning targets when there is only one adversary remaining.
There is likely very little replay value, since the game is straightforward, and the controls will be patterned throughout the game. I'm looking forward to what more the full version offers in regard to flight and difficulty.

I logged a couple of hours on the demo version of the game before calling my local video store to ask about availability. The story is decent, but I'm not playing games to learn or be immersed in someone's contrived drama, I want to forget about my drama!Get more detail about Dark Void.
