Advantages: Cheap, Excellent documentation, An overall excellent product

Disadvantages: Slow, Rubbish Support

DarkBASIC is an excellent and powerful 3D games creator aimed at beginners and professionals alike who want to create their own computer games in under an hour.

Although slow, DarkBASIC features many commands, good set of supported media types and excellent documentation.

The 2D command set in DarkBASIC is on the slow side and so is the 3D command set but this does not mean DarkBASIC isn't any good - it is very, very good. My personal experiences with DarkBASIC have no been so good because I was not able to create what I wanted in DarkBASIC. It could have been my own fault but I believe DarkBASIC is too slow to make a proper decent game.

Also, the techincal support provided by Dark Basic Software Ltd. is simply rubbish. It took them two weeks to reply to my email.

DarkBASIC is an excellent piece of software but for the price of £40.00 I believe it needs more features and a faster engine. Maybe DarkBASIC Pro will fix this...? We'll just have to wait and see.
