A unique but flawed game
(
X360
)
Dark Sector isn't a great game, but it's not a bad game either. Its one of those games that's worth picking up if it's cheap. The game relies on the single mechanic of throwing a glaive. The game introduces a few unique abilities along the way, but personally, I was ...

Dark Sector
(
X360
)
Released in November of 2006, Gears of War was critically acclaimed for re-introducing the “cover system” style of game-play. Given the enormous amount of success enjoyed by that game, one would assume that any game making use of such a system would surely reap the same benefits; unfortunately for Dark ...

My take on Dark Sector.
(

Dark Sector is a game that was announced well before its final release. In fact many of the games that have inspired this game where announced and developed before this game could get a release. Whether or not this game was worth the wait is debatable. At times it is ...

Good, but not Great
(

I'll admit, I am one of the few that enjoyed this game. Sue me. Anyway, I feel as though the game didn't quite live up to it's potential. Makes me wonder what the game would have been like if it had stayed true to its original context. But I digress. ...

[Another version of this was posted at the Escapist under a different username. Also, some plot spoilers ahead, you have been warned.]How many people remember Dark Sector? Anyone? No? Well, I'm not surprised. The game had been in development ever since 2000, originally going to be a title about some ...

Dark Sector is a fun, satisfying, and visceral puzzle-action game
(
X360

I came into Dark Sector not expecting too much, I only expected some mildly entertaining combat and decent graphics. But, as soon as I got to the second chapter, I realized, Dark Sector is amazing. With it's stunning graphics, fun, satisfying gameplay, and great voice acting and general sound design, I ...

Coolest. Game. Evarr.
(
PS3

Dark Sector is possibly the coolest game to come out yet this year. That doesn't necessarily make it the best game, but it's a guarantee that a game where you control a superhuman, and battle men with guns, as well as monsters has more than a few merits. In Dark ...

4 Stars for the price
(

I paid under $20 for this game and it sounds, visuals and gameplay count for the price. I read the reviews and didn't think it would be worth it, but I play almost everything. If this game would have been the MSRP I think I would still have been happy ...

Dark Sector is a mostly boring game
(
X360
)
Dark Sector is one of those games that most gamers will play through once, then move on to something else without a second thought. One of the big selling points of Dark Sector is the glaive. This weapon is essentially a bladed boomerang. Yes, it's fun to use at first, ...

A pretty game that has some gameplay issues
(
X360

Dark Sector is a game that I would like to call a Gears of War clone. It has many aspects of gears like sticking to cover, dodging, walking and roadie running is all pretty much the way it was done in Gears, but a crappier version. Your name is Hayden ...

Resident Evil with a Glaive
(

Dark Sector takes you through Russian warehouses and other battlefields as you fight zombies and other infected sorts. The typical story of our hero being infected by the very thing the bad guys are propagating is well in place, giving our hero Hayden a big glaive to toss around and ...

Dark Sector almost hits the mark
(
X360
)
Dark Sector is a game that manages to pluck a chord with fans of the Gears of War style third-person shooter with that familiar over-right-shoulder camera viewpoint. Unfortunately, being a clone often means that doing something new is out of the question. Dark Sector manages to take an old style, ...

A very solid actiongame but it completely lacks personality.
(
X360

Lets start by just stating what is already clear as daylight. Dark Sector is the most obvious Gears of War ripoff there will ever be. Exacly everything controls like Gears but not as smoothly. The camera works the exact same way, the shooting works the exact same way and the ...

Decent Action Shooter
(
X360

I think the reviews for Dark Sector reflect the unrealistic hype that surrounded this game prior to release. Its was supposed to the first "next gen" game with unmatched graphics, gameplay, etc. Well, given that description, it would have to be put back in its place because it has the ...

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 ...
