2:53 Attack Video About This Game Dark Sector Rated M for Strong Language; Blood and Gore. IGN SCORE 7.7 Dark Sector was released on March 24, 2009. It was developed by Digital Extremes and published by Aspyr for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. A modern-day superhero saga, Dark Sector is a third-person shooter where players assume the role of the protagonist, Hayden Tenno who gains the ability to morph into dramatically different combat forms. Set in the crumbling infrastructure of a fictional Soviet-bloc country in the near future, the game features both single and multi-player action, with players working their way through a world where bio-weapons are no longer science experiments, but a hellish nightmare let loose on an unsuspecting populace.

Playing through the single-player game will make multiplayer a lot easier to pick up. Visually, Dark Sector rarely fails to impress, though you'll occasionally stumble upon low-resolution textures while searching with a flashlight in darkened corners for pickups. Furthermore, it's a little jarring in such a realistic-looking world that your glaive frequently travels through walls on its way back to you, but then this is a game that really tests your ability to suspend disbelief at every opportunity, given the nature of its puzzles and the lack of storyline. The game's audio is also worthy of note, thanks to an original score that does a great job of letting you know when danger is present or past. Likewise, some really satisfying sound effects make the weapons feel powerful, the environments feel creepy and abandoned, and some of the enemies far more intimidating than they deserve. Dark Sector isn't the next Gears of War, and it isn't a game that you should go into looking for a compelling story. You could certainly do a lot worse if you're looking for 10 to 12 hours of single-player action and some multiplayer kicks, though. The frugal one says, buy it. Definitely worth a few weekends of fun. For more xbox 360 and playstation 3 ps3 video game reviews check us out at http://www.frugalfu.comRead full review
I bought Dark Sector as a joke for my brother for his birthday. I checked the cheapest ps3 game on ebay that wasnt a sport and the first to show up was Dark Sector. I must admit that I never heard of this game before buying it and so, I had no idea of what it was. The cost(10$) was well worth the prize as this game is full of action and the use of the glaive is an innovative an very fun weapon. Of course, as everybody says, the story is lacking. Personally, I think this game was created in the idea of making a sequel/prequel that was never made. Bottom line, if youre looking for a fun cheap game, go get it, but only for less than 20 bucks.
The Good - The glaive is one of the most awesome weapons ever. - Ability to upgrade weapons in the game to almost unstoppable. - A lot of cool effects with good looking graphics, lots of enemies to kill, lots of places to take cover, lots of fire fights, and all with a nice creepy atmosphere. - Feels a little like Resident Evil 4 at times -Some fun boss battles are thrown in as well The Bad - Too much empty space. - The game can be ridiculous at times when you die absolutely from out of nowhere. - Not many weapons to choose from. - Only a handful of people play online at all. -Picking up stuff is tedious as well as having to search for it. - Story line and acting is absolutely horrible. The Verdict Rent before you buy. There are a few hours of mindless fun in here. 3.5/5
There's not a whole lot to hate about this game, but here goes. The blood gushes when the glaive flies through the air and it looks great. The graphics are really dark, and by that I don't mean macabre-- I mean literally the screen is dark. I'd change up the options in the menu to lighten up the screen. The game is a must buy for fans of the genre, but I wouldn't pay more than 15-20 for it since it's one of the first generation PS3 games. It suffers from a little bit of jagged edges on the screen, which are a bit annoying at times. Also, sometimes it's a little frustrating to destroy things with the glaive, and as a result you'll have to do it a few times to get it right. In short, though, this game's shortcomings are few and it is an enjoyable title. A definite 8 out of 10.
Pro... Good game with good multiplayer Nice Graphics Good bosses battles Rich darkness Looking for secrets and solving puzzles never gets old. con.. Not many weapons You will get lost from time to time Some enemies are to hard to kill Zombies appears from the floor(really they do) final... Good game to play if you have nothing to play,you might not get to scared but there's a good tension case in the game.You will love to use weapons in the beginning after that you can use them but for limited time.The multiplayer is good but its only one game mode.And last but not least is a cheap game that its worth the buy.
It tosses you into the game instantly, after a little while you get a feel for it and can feel where its going, there isnt much story to listen to, just short scenes between chapters. Looks great!, easy controls, great enemies...the only thing i dont like is the running feature, its a little hard to control if you want to turn, but other than that, its fantastic..

I loved this game, mixes shooting and scifi conspiracy all in one; I like this kind of stuff. I bought because I originally wanted to get it when it came out, but at the time I had no money and couldnt afford the original price. I was scrolling along trying to find the best price possible on Ebay and I eventually found it at a price I could afford. This game was more like a movie because every chapter revealed something more interesting about the virus in the game. The only things I had a problem with was the loading screen and the amount of chapters that were on it, only 10 chapters. Other than that, it was a great game, worth replaying and hope that sometime eventually they make a sequel. Originally got bad ratings from video game critics, but sometimes people are full of it. My advice: if you want a game that really gets you excited but you normally go with video game critics advice and rating; ignore them: buy the game and you rate the game yourself. If you hate it at the end, take it to gamestop and get some cash for it. If you liked it then you did your job.Read full review
Although the game lacks a great story line and it's a first generation PS3 game so the graphics are not up there with some of the newer ones this game is a great buy just for the replay value. The glaive can be a great weapon in groups of enemies and the ability to carry firearms just adds to the carnage! Upgrading the glaive just gives you more ways to kill. The glaive can be "powered up" when thrown to provide that little extra kick you might need to damage or disarm an enemy. The story unfolds as you progress through the game and you find out more and more about the virus and the cover-up surrounding it. As the virus takes a stronger hold on the main character the infected enemies evolve as well providing you with more and more challenges. It's hard to get bored with so many different enemies and ways to kill them. Due to it's age you can find this game fairly cheap and it's well worth the money. Personally I just hope they come out with a "Dark Sector 2".Read full review
