Flyboys in the Age of Robots. 3
Conceptually, Dark Void Zero is a pretty unique concept; taking the concept of the game Dark Void and fitting in onto the DSi with a fake-retro sprite art style is interesting even on a superficial level. The joke is that Zero is supposed to be the "original" game that the Xbox 360/PlayStation game was based on, when it's actually the other way around. Gags aside, Dark Void's gameplay transfers remarkably well to a simpler layout. In true retro fashion, you only use the D-pad and the A (jump) an...

Zero Hour, Literally. 1
You’ve got to hand it to Capcom. They sure know how handle retro games, be it remakes (Bionic Commando Rearmed) or brand new affairs (Megaman 9), It’ll be high quality stuff. Their newest retro based game, Dark Void Zero does not disrupt that fact. You can tell Capcom spent alot of time on this game simply on all the backstory they created for the game. From dual screened arcade cabinets to Jimmy Fallon (Seriously!), the “history” of Dark Void Zero is definitely something fun to read up on. ...

Just long enough to relive some of the NES glory days. 0
To start off this game has only three levels, but those three levels are very fun if you were a gamer in the NES era. The game is short and sweet and straight to the point.

The levels are decently big for trying to be an NES game but it ends up being repetitive in the end. Every boss battle is exactly the same and pretty easy after you figure out the pattern. I did enjoy this game but I do not f...

They still make 8-bit games in year 2010 0
Dark Void was a allegedly a disappointing Xbox 360/ PS3 game that I really don't know much about. Other than it has jet-packs and that the game is not really good. This game: Dark Void Zero is a spin-off of this "main game" that started off as a Aprils fool. Originally got released as DSiware and now later on Steam and iPhone versions have been released. My chosen version of Dark Void Zero is Steam on PC. Take that you bug...

Due to a few oversights, the PC port of this game teeters on unacceptable. 0
I'd precaution that I don't think this game is a bad game, I just can't recommend this version.I bought this game in a sale a while ago and am just playing it seriously now. If you have any interest in this game, and if you own any Nintendo handheld from the DSi onward, buy that version instead. I haven't played the DSiware version, mind you, but from videos of gameplay I figured the PC version would be somehow better in it least resolution, but a better look at the graphics here only serve to t...
