Capcom’s Dark Void thrusts onto Xbox 360 and PS3 this weekend and things ain’t looking good for the jetpack shooter.

GamesMaster UK gave it a meagre 71 saying…

It might have the best jetpack since San Andreas but as a game it just doesn’t fly.

Giant Bomb weren’t as forgiving…

The core elements in Dark Void are well-designed and fun to play, and it tells an interesting story while setting up a world that’s developed enough to deserve a sequel. But with its technical problems and a lack of enemy variety, Dark Void starts to feel like the game is getting in the way of its own universe.

Then 1UP kicked it in the teeth with…

It’s just a damn shame that the nigh-amazing “The Rocketeer versus UFOs” premise crashes hard into “tepid Gears of Uncharted knock-off” ground.

And finally, IGN ultimately couldn’t give a shit about the game…

The story’s never explained adequately, the combat’s pretty much always a chore, and flying isn’t nearly as fun as it should be. I don’t hate Dark Void, but I don’t care for it, either.

Dammit!!! And I was really looking forward to this game…
