Ace Gamez: Dark Void Review

Fusing several game mechanics together into one title rarely pays off, as shown by the tirade of awful driving sections in shoot-em-ups over the years. The majority of these sections really water down the overall package and you are often left wondering why the developer bothered with them at all. Taking this into consideration, Dark Void really does cast its net wide by bringing together vast climbing and platform sections, cover-based shooting areas and full 360 aerial combat.

I definitely saw this coming. You can tell when games are going to be bad based on how original they look.

monkey nuts5231d ago

I agree with you to some extent, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Darksiders for instance, no hype whatsoever, a mish mash of different games from different genres but it knitts them well together and is an amazing game because of it. Great hack n slash (skill required) great rpg customisation, good visuals and a unique story (with good voice overs to boot). Its up there with Deadspace and mgs4 as 1 of best third party games of the gen so far imo.

chrisulloa5231d ago

Eh, Darksiders isn't THAT good. It's an alright game, but I've read most of the reviews and it has a lot of flaws.

I've been gaming for over 20 years, owned most consoles, have good taste in games and know a good one when I've played it. I got it for ps3 as the 360 version was said to have screen tearing issues (which are getting patched). Honestly its one of the better games this gen and will see me through till Alan Wake and Heavy Rain drop. I respect your opinion, but most of the reviews I've seen have give this game between 8's and 9's and my time with the game can confirm the scores/praise it has gotten. It may not be for some but that can be said of any game, Uncharted 2 or Gears even.

Dark Void is a pretty decent game, I have it on disc for PS3 but hey... I'll grab it digitally to play on my Series S. Hard Corps Uprising is a freaking sweet (and hard) game. I've had that for a while and still cannot beat it.

Supernintendo851140d ago

@darthv72 Jesus Christ LOL, how on earth could you be downvoted for your opinion of the two games that are decent? This community sometimes i swear...

darthv721140d ago

It must be those that have beaten Hard Corps Uprising. That is their way of telling me I need to get good.

RazzerRedux1140d ago

Maybe they are downvoting because they disagree with his opinion.

Fritzwochel1140d ago

This is why sites like Reddit are trash. They auto-punish users who gets downvoted - thus if you have an opinion other than the poitical correct majoirty, you're getting all sorts of blocks.

CrimsonWing691140d ago

I'm all in for Dark Void and Hard Corps, but look... people have opinions. Maybe a majority of peeps don't agree with his opinion so they hit the disagree button, I don't know it makes sense to me.

@Supernintentendo

Best thing to do is not worry about those little arrows below your comment, and just say want you feel. You'll be much better off when you don't care about yours or soomebody else's downvotes.

On topic, I also have Dark Void for PS3, and it was pretty decent. Good enough for at least a playthrough.

PapaBop1139d ago

Since when do people care about votes on here? Everyone on here knows darthv72 is an xbox guy, he'd get more disagrees for saying white is white and black is black.

The Wood1139d ago (Edited 1139d ago )

Some people act like someone spat in their faces or they're credit score would be impacted. Some people don't agree.... .life huh

IGN said, "Dark Void is one of those games you'll play, beat, and forget ever existed."
Exactly my experience.

Dark Void possibly killed my phat launch PS3, with countless crashes and slowdown. So I have mixed feelings about that one lol. Mediocre game at best, and runs terrible on PS3. Hopefully the 360 version is better...

Chevalier1140d ago

Loved Hard Corps! But yeah get better 😆. By the time you unlock all the abilities you it just gets easier. Makes me wish they would continue with Hard Corps.

boing11139d ago

Yeah, Dark Void was pretty decent. Nolan North voiced main hero AFAIR.

Chocoburger1139d ago

Legit cringe when MS promotes Achievements and GamerScore. Sad state of affairs for them to be that desperate.

RosweeSon1139d ago

Making out those games are still worth $129.99 is bad enough 😑🤣 yeah maybe 10 years ago. Worth about 12.99 these days 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 ✌🏻

Father__Merrin1140d ago

Lol the Austria leak was fake then. This looks better than last months which was rubbish

x_xavier_x1140d ago

*Truck Racing Championship*
"monitor tire wear..."

Yeah, that's what I want out of a video game. /s

What have they got in store for next month, Vehicle Inspection Sticker: The Game?

DOMination-1140d ago

It's a racing game.

It's no different than monitoring your health bar in an FPS or the time you spend watching a cutscene rather than playing.
