Overall, Dark Void is a disappointing game that had some interesting ideas but ultimately failed to execute them. It tries to break away from normal conventions, introducing flight into a large part of the game but the aerial combat is just too...

Dark Void is all over the place. The story’s never explained adequately, the combat’s pretty much always a chore, and flying isn’t nearly as fun as it should be. I don’t hate Dark Void, but I don’t care for it, either. This...

When Capcom publishes a game, there are very few people who don't know about it, but it has to be said that Dark Void's marketing and hype has been somewhat minimal. Sure, quite a few people know about it, but barely anybody seems to care,...
