In order for something to appear white to the human eye, it must either be a light-emitting object (in which case the "void" part doesn't apply), or be a light-reflecting object (in which case the "void" part . . . doesn't apply.) "Void" and "full of objects" are mutually exclusive.ewhac said:
I loved this game's gameplay, but it was pretty ungratifying in the end, mainly due to the length. I can honestly see some great multiplayer potential in it, but as it is, the game has an incredible lack of replay value. I recommend a rental, or at least waiting till the price drops, but nothing more is really necessary.
Is there anyone I can contact as to why I can't watch the video? Everytime I click play, I get a very long advert for Escapist shows. And I missing something?
Excellent review, nice to see there are games being made that offer exciting moments of escape from whatever thing you did things in. I still hold disbelief that the final mission in Medal of Honor:Allied Assault should be that fun. Guess Dark Void missed that dramatic escape sequence bit.
It's in a box he keeps listed "crappiest games ever." It got picked for comparison to this.Crazy_Bird said:

I like to think there is no one way to 'get it right.' But the things Yahtzee describes that you can do with the jetpack in Dark Void seems a step in the right direction to a way to get it right.MelasZepheos said:
I've never heard of a game called Dark Void, and the video wasn't loading (leaving only an empty black screen) so until I read the comments I assumed Yahtzee was being a dick and making a joke.
Same here, no video, however I've kind of already made my mind up about Dark Void, it looks like an update to an old old old PC game called Rocket Ranger (Also set in an alternate World War 2 and looked like an inspiration for the film the Rocketeer) and gameplay elements aside Nolan North is another reason not to get the game.
I've gotten fed up of hearing his voice in the other titles he's done, surely there must be someone else that could be used for a few titles? Next thing you know he'll be working on MGS5 as the voice of Snake, then he'll do the voice work for the next GTA, Resi Evil and all the other franchises until it's nothing but him.
Don't get me wrong, he was great in a few games, but so overused now that he's becoming an anti-selling point for me.

Um... why can't I watch the video? I keep getting this five minute montage instead of some good old Zero Punctuation. And now it's doing it with all the reviews. Help?
I was very impressed with the TAMITFM reference in the credits.
That was basically the highlight for me.

There is a very good book series set in an alternate Napoleonic wars fought on the back of Dragons...
But it actually reaffirmed my desire to BUY Dark Void because, even if it has some bad points, if lots of people buy it, they'll make a sequel and hopefully fix everything that was wrong with it.
... It's wrong for me to be this idealistic.
This probably was my favorite, funniest ZP in a while. I loved the part about it being cinematic. ... hack.
