Dark Void

Then this prologue ends, and like the unfortunate fellow in the prologue, the overall game takes a significant plunge downward that it barely manages to recover from. It morphs from a refreshingly original (albeit with a bit of the obvious The Rocketeer influence) flier into a bland, cover-based third-person shooter. The story setup follows the, "give the player the full experience, then change circumstances and make the player re-earn the cool stuff from the beginning" formula; after playing the anonymous jetpack jockey, the game then puts you in Will Grey's perspective. Will is a snarky, fast-talking pilot (voiced by Nolan "Can't Say No" North) who flies through the Bermuda Triangle in 1938 and arrives at the alien/jetpack/butte-filled parallel world called, well, "the Void." Will's eight-hour journey through the Void starts with a mostly generic/occasionally painful sequence where he jetpacklessly jaunts around the mysterious jungle, all while shooting aliens and cracking wise.
