    When the really similar levels and waves of opponents get too repetitive towards the end of the game, Dark Sector's weak storyline might not be enough to carry the more fickle fan to the finish line. Still, $20 is an attractive price point for the game.

    Dark Sector is an interesting action game that finally is not so enjoyable as it could be, because of its lack of contents and personality. The gunshot scenes are awesome but too reiterative, and the puzzles become too soon unsatisfactorily simple.

    It's repetitive, mindless, claustrophobically linear, over-stylised and incoherent. [June 2009, p.93]

    Very nice game, the storyline is okay, the graphics aren't bad for 2009 but I personally don't care at all about graphics, the controls are good, I love swinging around my blade and controlling it in mid air, the game is gory and I love it! the amount of blood in the game satisfies me and the game is really fun, I don't understand why the low scores on this game, this game is **** awesome!… Expand

    This would've been a GREAT game if the developers hadn't sabotaged it with stupid crap. Like when you sprint you can't turn? WTF? I can cut some sharp corners when I'm in a hurry, so that makes the Uber badass guy in the game kind of a gimp. Also it has no jump feature. When has that EVER been a good idea in an FPS game? As cool as it looks, the Glave weapon is underpowered so it takes repeated throws--even repeated POWERED throws to take down baddies--whereas a burst from any of the guns will do it quicker. So you end up using the Glave mostly to look cool, not because it's a good weapon. If they'd had any clue, they'd have made the Glave steering mechanism real time (like the missiles in H-L 2), so it didn't slow the game to a crawl whenever you used it. And they should have made the guns short range only, forcing you to use the Glave for long range shots. Add JUMPING and subtract the retarded sprinting limitations and THAT woulda been a rockin' game. In fact I really want to play a game like that and I hope someone makes it.… Expand

    good sound effects, bad voiceacting. nice graphics for a low budget game, animations are moderate with a few weird looking bugs. they ai is pretty bad. the controls are easy. i guess with a few changes the game actually would be fun to play, BUT unless you really save your ammo, you will have to kill most of the enemies with the almost useless boomerang knife. that takes ages and is pretty annoying. all together i would say, you dont miss out anything if you dont buy it.… Expand
