    This is the surprise action game of the year, not that the arrival is any surprise; D3 has been hyping this title for nearly two years, but the sheer quality and originality of gameplay, mostly thanks to a single little throwing weapon, makes this a must-play title for any action gamer.

    Dark Sector can best be described as a game born out of a formula. To create this game, you will need 2 parts Gears of War, 1 part Resident Evil, and a dash of X-Men. It is totally easy to rip this game to shreds based on this description. But as you play this game, something unexpected happens: you find yourself having an amazing amount of fun.

    And the poor storytelling doesn't hurt the game as much as the tedium, and the feeling that the game is padded by five or six hours-which suggests that the real draw isn't dismemberment, but distraction.

    This game was great as far as the concepts go, but they didn't put those concepts to full effect... it could've been played out a lot better. The glaive makes the game despite the lack of storyline and the repetitive game play. As far as playing it goes... its a game to play for a bit, then leave for a bit, then come back. It would be very hard for me to play through.... But all in all you'll have more fun looking up reviews than playing the game itself.… Expand

    This game is bogus and totally over-rated. I got bored by the second mission. Chopping down generic bad guys with the glaive is totally pointless. Bullets are faster! And what's with the crappy character movement. What kind of shooter game doesn't let the character crouch out of the line of fire. Really bad targeting abilities, really bad character movement, slow "shooting", but mostly just REALLY BAD. Here's a tip for all game makers: stop spending so much money and time worrying about making the graphics as real looking as possible (I mean, do we really care that much weather or not the cloth hanging from the windows is moving with the wind?) and try not to forget about making a decent game next time! This game has a very good idea, they just blew it!… Expand
