    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 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

    Absolutely terrible game, if we keep paying for sub-standard products like this they will keep making them, so don't!

    Simply shoddy, people. I can't stress this enough. It's insulting and shameful to play such an unpolished monstrosity. Let this one soak at the bottom of the garbage can, please.

    All the pieces are there, it’s just missing that magic spark that turns a good game into a great one.

    Dark Sector's ultimate error is that it still can't quite shake off its tag of "just another generic action shooter." But it sure as hell gives it a try. [Apr 2008, p.82]

    There’s plenty of fun to be had here, but we’re pretty sure you’ll forget all about it once Epic’s hugely anticipated sequel arrives later this year. [Apr 2008, p.120]
