Aliens are tricky blighters. Always trying to take over our world and whatnot. But such is the stuff of videogames! In this thirdperson shooter from Capcom, developer Airtight Games hopes to put a new spin on classic retro scifi and UFO themes. In Dark Void, you play as Will, a regular Joe piloting a routine cargo plane flight that crashes into cue ominoussounding music...the Bermuda Triangle! Crashing into the Bermuda Triangle is never straightforward though, is it? Will finds himself in the Dark Void, a parallel world populated by aliens looking to do nasty stuff. He joins a group of humans called the Survivors and promptly gets on with the business of trying to save the world. Visually, its all brown leather jackets, discshaped UFOs and rocket packs the retro good stuff. Its not the look that sets Dark Void apart from its contemporary scifi shooters, however. Its that rocket pack! As well as traditional thirdperson shooter sequences, players will find themselves using the rocket pack to make breathtaking vertical leaps, adding an extra dimension to play. It doesnt stop there, however. You dont just use a rocket pack for big jumps, do you? You use them to fly! And so it is that you get involved in vertigoinducing aerial combat with UFOs! Get ready for a close encounter...
