 Excellent game! December 4, 2008
Hi everybody,
For the thrilling and suspense lovers, here is your game.
For those who like to feel the heart beating along the mission under the expectation of what is moving and what's the noise on the next turning is, this is the game.
It's a great game!
Very Impressive October 19, 2008
I bought my Xbox 360 along with this game after reading about it on wikipedia and watching some clips on youtube. It looked amazing, and I must say, it didnt disappoint.
The graphics are quite stunning. Some games dont use the consoles graphical potential to its maximum but Dark Sector does. The cinematic look really creates an atmosphere, and with there being no icons on the screen at all except when you check for ammo or pick an item up makes the experience a lot more realistic.
The AI are relatively intelligent, as you would expect. They take cover, have good aim, and sometimes have an annoyingly good judgement of grenade throwing.
In some reviews I've read, people have said the story is disappointing and hard to understand. I disagree. The story is quite enticing, and somehow fast paced (the 10 chapters are each quite long). You really get a feel for the character Hayden and although some elements of the story are not fully explained, its easy to step into his shoes. And trust me, at one point you'll find yourself amused yet shocked at the twist.
The controls are at first quite confusing, I often found myself shooting instead of throwing the glaive and vice versa, but once you get the knack for it, you can really unleash the power of the glaive and your customised weapons. Using aftertouch with the glaive is very satisfying, especially when theres a load of zombies stoof in a row.
I have to of course list some flaws.
The game is quite dark. Sometimes its hard to see things and whats going on, especially when your trapped into a corner by a gang of mutants.
Sometimes the range of the glaive is irritating. Battles are often quite spread out and when your forced to take cover because of the billion soldiers, its annoying when your glaive reaches 1cm in front of their faces.
And the final flaw, the ending! Don't get me wrong its a good ending, your enticed right up to the last minute, but the final cinematic is brief and doesnt explain what happens afterwards. I doubt a sequel, but am annoyed I didn't get to see what happenned to Hayden and all the other infected.
I am yet to get Live, so cant comment on the online play.
All in all - a brilliant game, and for anyone who likes shoot 'em ups, gore, and horror games, this is for you.
underrated - if you like FPS this is for you September 7, 2008
a good enjoyable game that kept my interest. the combination of glaive and pistols made decision making an important part of the game. Some of the baddies were interesting and i particularly liked the puzzle element to the game.
i'm currently on chapter 7 and i believe there are approx 9 and for me, this game is definiely long enough.
i should also add this game is NOT for kids. I won't even let my 10 year old be in the same room when i play it.
On the whole I was surprised by how good this game was and if you like shooters it is definitely recommended
 the Trailer was promising September 3, 2008

well the trailer was great, the idea was good and the product was rubbish. Whoever created the trailers is well worth their money but the game fails on every level. Gameplay is boring, the enemy soldiers look embarrassing, the weapons are pants, the controls for the weapons are shocking and lol! it has multiplayer!! which is so so so embarrassing! sorry for you fan boys but this game really let me down
Great Game August 10, 2008
I bought this game over 3 months ago and forgot to post a review, so here it is, my review, Dark Sector has been made using the gears of war system so the view of witch you play is the same and the darkness of the game is the same too, the campaign in Dark Sector is good with 10 levels to go through, after each level it gets harder and each level gets longer, but you unlock special abilities within your character to overcome these foes. Well i wont spoil the game, it is great fun but you can get stuck some time, therefore having to look up a walkthough. but other than that IT IS GREAT. The online is good as well, but as not almost of people play this game online, you very often see the same names pop up in every game you play.
Overall 9/10 as nothing can be perfect.
