YMMV / Dark Void

• Awesome Music: Bear McCreary set out to give "Indiana Jones with a Jet Pack" a soundtrack worthy of the theme. He succeeded!
• Dancing Bear: The best parts of this game are easily whenever you make use of the jetpack, so you'll find yourself using it even when you don't need to.
• More Popular Spin-Off: The game was completely overshadowed by Dark Void Zero, which was only supposed to be promoting Dark Void. Probably because Zero used old-school ideas that just plain work, instead of trying to mash together two ideas that don't work. The same exact thing also happened to Bionic Commando (2009) and its promo game, Bionic Commando Rearmed. Guess which one now has a sequel (although given how the franchise is basically dead at this point, we’re probably not getting any sequels to either game).
• Quirky Work: The plot is about a pilot and his ex-girlfriend who survive a plane crash into the Bermuda Triangle and are attacked by alien robots. Later on, they meet the natives and Nikola Tesla. Then they discover that not only were the alien robots once worshiped as gods and then sealed away, but they planted spies all over the world and are responsible for initiating World War II.
• Spiritual Licensee: It is not hard to see this game as an spiritual adaptation of The Rocketeer. Probably helps that, while not amazing, is still miles ahead in quality compared to the officialy licensed Rocketeer video games
