Void Wars

Definition

Void Wars is a 3D space battlefield game in the form of arcade action style games. With a simple control system that takes several seconds to learn using the common PC controls. Void Wars is a game that the whole gaming world can enjoy and appreciate.

Description

The game Void Wars sets you in a space battle in the future where you must go into battle and destroy every other battleship. There are several levels that must be completed and as each level progress the more difficult the game becomes. The strength and mobility of the opponents becomes greater as more opponents are added throughout the levels. The graphics within the game are impressive as the game was created the arcade style format which is usually in the 2D format. The levels and spaceships are well textured and suit the surrounding areas

Compare and Contrast

I found that Void Wars used the similar setting of Space Invaders for the Game Boy Advanced, where the player had to destroy the alien’s spacecrafts. Void wars takes this concept and turn it into a 3D environment turning alien spacecrafts into vengeful space commandos. Void Wars also uses the same concept of destroying spacecrafts switching no moving spacecrafts into movable ones.

Sequence

When the game loads up there is a sequence of events that need to be followed so that the play can progress onto playing the game. Firstly the player name, type of ship and difficulty must b chosen. This is completed by selecting the “Options” tab on the left hand side of the menu screen. Once completed the tab “Main” must be pressed on the menu options to bring you back to the main screen. From there the “Single Player Game” option must be pressed, the “Star Campaign” to enter the game. This is the basic way to play the game, however there are also several other options available to player for a different types of game play.

Choice

Although I wouldn’t normally play this game I found that Void Wars was quite enjoyable. There are a few hours of enjoyment as you search and destroy the other battleships though each level. The only negative thing I found was the control system. I found that the mouse reaction was to fast for my liking and there was no way of altering it. Although an avid gamer may prefer this I think that a cursor speed setting will encourage more gamers to play.

Evaluation

A good game that is open to all players whether the game is there type of genre. Void Wars offers fun for the whole family especially older members, as it brings back memories of the old style space games that they used to play in the arcades at a younger age. As for the younger members the will enjoy being able to destroy everything that is sight. I gave this game four out of five thumbs up.
