I was very weary of getting this game based on what some of the top magaizines and stuff were saying. I got it anyway and it was very cool. It is a totaly different concept in fighting in a game. The camera view is really nice because you are in third person but not so much that your character gets in the way of your view. Using the glaive that you get in the game (I'm not going to tell you how) is a lot of fun. You don't just throw it at stuff and people but, you can slow it down and the camera zooms in on it and then you can control the angle so you can pecisely hit your target. Cool creatures to kill, decapatations, gore, great AI.......overall the game is fun.

Really fun, but not enough

Ive played through this game a few times, on the easier difficulty then the harder. It really is a lot of fun the first time although the story can be a bit difficult to follow. Anybody who enjoys playing Gears of War would probably love this just like me. The only major complaint I have is that the multiplayer is terrible. The idea behind the multiplayer modes is great, and they would be tons of fun to play, but 95% of the other players (which is about 15 of the 16) are from eastern Europe, so there is way too much lag to get a decent game going. It is really hard to tell what is going on in the game, but you can still tell that it would be tons of fun in a lag free environment with a lot of other players. Overall, the game is a good buy if you can get it used or on sale with a decent discount, otherwise I would say just rent it for the single player, which is really fun.

3.5 stars..

This is an all around solid game, but nothing extraordinary. The game has good legnth(10-20), and has fairly new gameplay. The gameplay isn't copy-cat, its just not that fun to do honestly. The first half is awesome and your looking forward to more and more. However, the game does nothing new as the story progresses. You just battle a half dozen enemies, duck when needed, fire when ready, and thats really it. I havent finished the game but I would say its around a 7.0-8.0 range. If you see it for 30 or less pick it up , but for more than that, not really.

Great Game

While this game does have a few minor flaws it did manage to keep me interested all the way til the end, i really enjoyed the combat system as it is very similar to gears of war, and being a fan of anime type shows aswell as guyver, i really dug the whole alien suit with special abilities angle they went for , but yea it aint perfect but it does the job and as for multi player everytime i logged on no games were in session but it could just be my location. sooo if your a fan of action games try renting it first but if you like action and anime/guyver type stuff def get it you won't regret it.

Decent game

Finally finished it. The game does get repetitious towards the end and I cannot tell you remotely what the story is about. You keep gaining new powers as the levels progress to keep things interesting, but there just isn't enough to make it more entertaining. Biggest compaint I have is that the environments all look the same and aren't too interactive, e.g., you have these powerful weapons but cannot destroy cardboard boxes. A better mix of levels would have helped tremendously. More weapons would have been great too, but you can't accumulate enough money to buy more than 2-3 guns. And all the enemies look pretty much the same and the puzzles get old quick. There are a couple of good boss battles that I'd replay, but that's it. I'd change my rating to 3.5 stars. A definite rental, but then again, it is priced correctly now so you could add to your library and not feel ripped off.

I'm halfway through the game and here are my impressions:

For $20, this is not a bad game to pick up. It plays a lot like Gears but less refined. The graphics are pretty good; the only thing is that the environments and levels are pretty blase--hopefully they get better as most of the levels look very similar. The controls aren't too bad, only thing is that melee stinks and sometimes when you want to go into cover you wind up diving instead, but I had the same problem with Gears at times. Nothing more to add about the glaive or the guns as that's been covered by others.

This game is really under-rated due to it's lack of creativity and being a copycat of other games. That's fine--so give it a 1 for creativity; but that doesn't affect the fun you'd have playing it. If you like slicing and dicing people and don't mind the 3rd person shooter too much, then this is a great pickup at the price.

Quick Low Down on DarkSector

This is a game in need of something.. from the very first fire fight it's impossible to miss that all enemies fight in the exact same manner. They shoot, take cover, then finally lean out from their cover to shoot a few more times then duck back again until their demise. They rarely move from their cover and repeatedly you must make the frag in the same manner - over & over popping them while partially hid. It's a extremely nice looking game but because of the lack of enemy AI it quickly feels like assembly line work. Your main hero has a variety of weapons that keeps it interesting for a while but after 3-4 hours of play I find little compelling me to finish it or even play again.

Dark Sector reallly worth playing

Dark sector is a very good action horror survival , it's not resident evil but is really worthy to be played. The story mode is pretty good , gory and violent everything u want in a videogame but this is not a game to have a good online multiplayer experience . I give it 8.5 out of 10.

No replay value

Fun game..but once you're done it will collect dust. Unless its on sale, I would just rent it.

Too frustrating

The main flaw about this game is that if you decide to quit in the middle of a chapter (even though it says "saving" during parts of a chapter) and later when you load your game ready to play again expecting to be at that point you quit at last time; it doesn't happen. You have to start the whole chapetr all over again. I have to agree with another reviewer this game is pretty repeative, all the enemies do the same thing. I got bored with this game quick. Maybe this is worth a rental but definately not worth spending your hard earned $$$.

DARK SECTOR IS A MEH GAME!

I wish enjoyed this game better then I did. It took me a half day to beat it and to tell you the truth that if you like Gears of War this game is right for you. If I had to pick Gears over this, I pick Gears. This game took a lot of good concepts and amazing visuals and just didn't executed it right.

It is worth $20 bucks. I feel bad for the ones that bought it right away for the $60 bucks. Like reviewers before me, this game has no reply value almost like 'gears'.

'gears' you have a great multiplayer, this one is just "BORROWED IDEAS".

So if you want to have a day off, this game is worth it, but after your done playing it, you might just sell it or put it up.
