Dark Sector

boostergold's Dark Sector (Xbox 360) review

Kept me entertained

I know some people are calling this game a Gears of War ripoff and I don't deny it but the game itself was quite entertaining. The use of the glaive was fun and interactive but it did make it a little repetative. Getting new abilities for the glaive made it fun and exciting, not knowing what the next ability would be.

It did have a few camera problems that I experienced throughout the game, the AI weren't very smart and it was too easy. The story wasn't as captivating as the game play itself was, it seemed like they tried to hard to throw in twist and turns and make it more espiongesque.

All in all, the game itself was fun to play even though the story was lacking. It doesn't have much replay value but worth the rental price.

Dark Sector feels like a difficult game to review. On one hand, I look at the hamfisted dialogue and the paper thin premise, as well as what seem like misguided attempts at variety in the forms of puzzle and vehicle sections and instantly want to dismiss it. On the other hand, I look at its approach to third person shooting and combat in general and see a lot of ideas that I genuinely enjoy. Dark Sector is at its absolute best when it focusses on the latter, though its preoccupation with the for...
