DESCRIPTION

Dark Sector is a futuristic shooter starring a character infected by a biological virus, imbuing him with mysterious powers. Black-ops soldier Hayden Tenno contracted the disease while on a covert mission to the fictitious Eastern European country of Lasria. Hayden's left arm has since mutated into something not quite human. Attached to this abnormal appendage is a three-blade glaive that can be charged and thrown at enemies or objects like a boomerang. Stunned enemies can then be finished off with well-aimed gunshots, or sliced open by using the glaive as a melee weapon. As Hayden struggles to find a way out of his predicament, the virus will gradually take over his body, granting him new abilities along the way. The action in Dark Sector is viewed from a third-person perspective set behind the lead protagonist's shoulder, with the screen free from heads-up displays in an attempt to draw players closer into the gritty, violent world. Online support is also included for ten-player competition over the PlayStation Network. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I greatly enjoyed this game. I found it to be extremely fun and interesting. I love the glaive. I also only found one or two hard spots in the game, but with the right strategy the game is decently easy. I'd recommend anyone not playing this...”

“Brutal, brutal, brutal. And I love it! Chopping off someones head is just great, but doing it with your blade, wich you can control on the fly, makes this awesome!”
