Customer Reviews

Good change of pace from all the FPS
I got this game on monday and have so far really enjoyed it. The visuals are very good and it has a Gears of War look. I am currently on the 4th mission with 9 overall. The first few missions are very short but they are just to introduce you to the controls. Following missions are much longer.

The animations are excellent. I just finished my 1st boss battle and it was very movie like. The glaive is pretty cool too and works well as do the guns.

The main gripe I have is the Melee attack doesnt work properly. It takes a few hits to kill an enemy and by then they can hit you once and your near dead. The story is also rather bland and sometimes you dont know who people are or what your doing. A hint or objective display would have been useful.

The multiplayer isnt bad though it is over very quickly. Once the main character is dead the round is over. There are only 2 modes which are ok but they really need to release more to keep people interested which has been promised as downloadable content.

Overall if you liked Gears of War and Residnent Evil 4 then chances are you will like Dark Sector. It uses elements fom both games. It will keep you occupied until GTA 4 arrives and also is a nice change of pace from all the FPS im playing at the minute.

Fantastic!
This has to be the most under rated game ever! I got it as there was not a lot of games out that i didnt already have and i fancied something new, and to be honest it has blown me away! Im a big gears of war fan and have been desperate for a game that can thrill me with quality graphics and animations that gears gives. Dark Sector is a mix of gears of war, the darkness, resident evil and assassins creed (for the fight scene visuals).

Graphically, this game is equally as impressive as gears of war......sometimes its even better! gameplay is also of a very high quality with animations that will make your eyes pop out of your head! plot....not sure what the plot of the story is but who cares!! everything else about this game is fantastic and you will love every minute of it!

i could write lots more about the A.I. the weapons, boss battles etc but the longer im writing this, the less time i have to play it!

gotta go....there is a zombie out there waiting for me to decapitate him!!


ps...should also mention that this game has the best 5.1 sound quality of any game i have ever played.

oh its dark alright
without wanting to pre-set the tone to 'rediculous-fanboy'... I have to say the one word I have to open with is 'underated'

Dark Sector is fantastic! It looks amazing, it builds up slowly, the glaive (on the contrary to so many other reviews ive read) isnt hard to control at all. As far as bullet time goes it helps break up the fury of the combat making it all in all a more balenced experience.

My one critisism is difficulty... got it home at about lunch time, was done before bed with a hearty 630G under my belt. Far too easy. However, having done so a Brutal-Difficulty was unlocked so hopefully that will solve my problem.

Bottom line - i'm impressed.

Online play - See Gears of War. Rediculously similar.
