I think that this game is awesome. There are some parts that i think are worse than halo like there is a lot of gore like you can do a hand to hand combat hit and it crushes the robot/aliens head, there is a lot of green blood too.

This is what a real adventure game looks like
Its a really fun game for Playstation or Xbox fans. The controls are good, but the aliens can be a pain in the butt sometiomes. The only cussing i heard throughout the game is 1 d word,but my dad played through most of it.

Iffy for tweens
A good game, pretty gory in some parts. You shoot aleins causing (blue) blood to spray. Blood appears on the ground and on the walls.You can shoot an aleins head off causing blood to pool on the ground and spray from his neck. Close combat kills can be gory; one move involes shooting an alien in the back, blood sprays another involves shooting a restrained alien in the head. Some attacks can cause the aleins limbs to fall off. Also, humans die although bloodlessly. Aside from the violence there is some language and positive messages.

Perfect for tweens.
Dark Void is awesome!!!! Although blood is present it is blue, and not very realistic, especially since you're mostly shooting aliens in robot suits. Mild language is also present, but it's a lot of fun and not to inappropriate.

HARD to play and really boring on the ground. DO NOT melee near other robots.

only TEN AND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dark Void has positive qualities and bad qualities.The role models are okay and every one is positive.The bad thing about it is that the violence can get too much after a while.There are a variety of weapons such as machine guns grenades and many more.Blood is blue.Language is pretty mild.Words such as Hell bast-ard and the d word

I've only played through 5 missions, but its a great game so far.
I borrowed Dark Void from one of my friends and it is great. The violence isn't that bad, its in third person with blue blood. Langauge can be an issue though, I heard son of a b--ch twice, d--n once and h-ll once, but thats a small amount and the words aren't really that bad. I'd say it would probably be ok for mature 8 year olds if you dont mind langauge.

One of my favorite games out there.
Its an excellent game. Its better than most adventure or shooter games out there. Id have to say id even prefer this over Uncharted. Its not that violent either, because theres alot of games that show worse than a blue alien get shot with purpule blood.

I've tried the demo, and...
Having tried out the demo of the game, I'm thankful that there's finally a sci-fi shooter that isn't chock full gore, inappropriate interspecies relations, etc. While the game seems to take after various other popular games, the combination is quite unique. I'd recommend it for kids who enjoy action and parents who dislike gore, dismemberment, etc. The only concern is that a couple of the robots in game have four limbs, and walk like people (which could offend some) they die in a shower of sparks. There are also a couple AI (Artificial Intelligence) glitches, such as one that causes enemies to stand still and do nothing every so often. That aside, this is quite an enjoyable game.
