Dark Sector: Must have for any action fan.

I originally purchased Condemned 2: Bloodshot over Dark Sector because of the ratings over to GameSpot.com. Condemned received an 8.5 -- Dark Sector a 7.5.

I played Codemned for about an hour before I was bored out of my mind and I love survival horror. I have not played it since, so much for Gamespots reviews.

If you liked Resident Evil 4 then Dark Sector is right up your alley. Great graphics and fun gameplay make for an enjoyable experience. The story line is week and some levels were alot out of balance but it doesn't take away from the fun, usually after several tries you can get it. About 16-20 hours of gameplay too.

I liked it and if you're an action fan you will too. $60 well spent.

You WANT to love it but...

Finally the long awaited Dark Sector has hit the shelves and sadly it just came short of meeting HALF of its expectations. Visually the game is phenomenal but unfortunately there's only so much scenery can do for the entertainment value of a game. The story is very cliché and lacks the ability to really get you involved and suck you in; for the most part Hayden (who you play as) comes off as a very one-dimensional character with your cliché "past that haunts him" so nothing new on that front. As far as game play goes, the movements are extremely stiff which makes aiming a really big pain especially when the enemy AI is hardly existent yet so hard to eliminate. The glaive; honestly, it's awesome the first few times you kill with it but sooner rather than later you'll get sick of it and it just becomes annoying to maneuver and even more annoying when you try to run up to an enemy to hit them with it and for some odd reason it does NOTHING the first 2 tries so you get hit THEN it works.  more

Beautiful....

This game is gorgeous. The colors and lighting are absolutely incredible. I especially liked the lack of colors in the prologue. I felt it really showed off the game. However, as another reviewer commented, some in-game movies do look a little bit better than others. Also, I have noticed the occasional drop in frame rate.

The gameplay is very fun. My only complaint is that the controls are a bit awkward when you are steering the glaive. It just feels un-natural to hold down the RB and steer with the right analog stick. I also dislike the fact that you are unable to crouch unless taking cover. Other than that, the game is a blast to play. I played about the first three levels last night, and had to tear myself away from the game to get some sleep.

This game doesn't bring anything real innovative to the table. But if you are fans of GoW, then I would strongly recommend this game. It has a similar look and feel to it, and it is just as fun. And the glaive is an awesome new  more
