Its got jetpacks!

Ive been playing Dark Void the past while. It is a pretty standard FPS, with a storyline badly tagged on. The game is pretty enjoyable and self explanatory, but unfortunately in their attempt to add a coherent storyline to it, the developers added random conversations, often mid-battle, that sounded very dis-jointed and out of place.
Aside from the bad story telling the game is really enjoyable and one fairly unique feature is of course the jet packs.

When i first started the game i wasn't particularly psyched about the jet packs as i thought it was only adding a bit of vertical movement to the game. Once i got the jet pack i still wasn't very impressed, until it was fully unlocked in the next mission.

Then i was impressed, very impressed.

It opened up a whole new dimension to the game. I spent a long time flying around and trying to keep my bearings fearing that if i flipped upside down i might crash, but this was not the case.

Once i got more accustomed to the controls i realized it didn't matter which direction i was facing or where the ground was as long as i didn't crash into a wall or any other objects.

Unfortunately the game was quite short and didn't fully utilize the potential of the jet packs, but overall was quite exhilarating and enjoyable.
