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. Xbox Live support is also included for ten-player online competition. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“What do you think about this game? I didn't really enjoy it, the story was just boring imho. Else it was pretty okay.”

“I actually liked it. Different type of shooter using the Glaive. Lots of variations with cold, fire, etc...I would entertain a sequel for sure.”

“Yeah i had some problems due to lack of controller on pc. Guess it would have been more fun with one.”

“Dark Sector was ported to the PC? I had no clue.”

“Oh, you played it on the PC, it's probably a completely different experience on the 360. I can't imagine playing it on the PC when you slow mo the glaive in flight and direct it to your target. Good luck to anyone fighting a boss with a keyboard.”

“Hehe, i played until i got to this one machine-thingy ( with an mg and such, where you have to hide to not get hit), and then the game somehow bugged out. Maybe I'll try it later next week again.”

“I didn't complete it, I got tired of it on like the 8th level or so. The glaiving got old at that point and the boss battles annoyed me :P Probably worth a play just for the glaive though.”

“So, another roundup. Biggest news being my purchase and completion of shadow complex. That game world was surprisingly big and I enjoyed the whole exploration aspect a lot more than I thought it...”

“I too find myself playing XBLA games more lately... I think it is because it is so easy to just load it up on the box and play vs getting the disc... waiting for that to load (often installing an update), etc. I know it seems like a small thing to walk over to the draw... get out the disc and put it in... but these days it does seem like a barrier for me. :)”

“This is basically a random round up of my recent gaming and stuff for anyone who cares. Might do more like this, unsure yet. For various reasons I haven't really gamed a huge amount recently,...”

“Why does this game remind me SO much of Krull?! I just can't put my finger on it. hm. mmeh. I'll figure it out eventually. Anyway, just like the movie, this one is one of those games that though isn't perfect, it's cult classic appealing”
