Dark Sector (Xbox 360, 2008)

Its a good game, I got it pretty cheap on ebay, only about 14 which is less than you can get for it at gamestop

The user I bought it from shipped it fast and I am very glad i got it.

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

I like the way the character moves and the guns that he gets to use the story line is also great I like the game very much

Dark Sector on Xbox 360 is one of the best games I have ever played, it has a great storyline and characters.

One of your main weapons is the Glaive; which is a three bladed weapon which can be thrown at your enemy or used in your hand as a bladed weapon (very effective, especially after you acquire energy pulse where you throw it into an electrical energy source, and then throw it toward your enemy and press down on the right thumb stick to explode it). With a little practice you can slice an enemy in half with one throw.

You can earn money and purchase weapon upgrades throughout the game at underground stores.

There are numerous bosses to fight (I advise downloading a walk-through) which must be defeated in a certain way, but not to difficult if you use the energy pulse feature. The Nemesis was the most difficult boss fight for me, but finally got it.

I highly recommend Dark Sector. If you like games such as Mass Effect; Halo 3, or Turok? then you should also like Dark Sector.

Dark Sector is a fun game in the likes of Gears of War. The control scheme is almost exactly the same so if you had played Gears as I had before getting into Dark Sector then you'll have no problems at all switching over. The action is good - the glaive is quite fun to use - and the story moves along at an even pace. As you progress through the game your character gains additional powers that help even out the playing field, and keep things fresh. Some might say that the use of the glaive is over done but I honestly never really tired of using it. There was definitely a certain feeling of satisfaction from getting a curved head kill using the blade - especially if you curved it around a corner or such to kill an enemy hiding behind cover.

That said the controls are very fluid. Hayden, the title character, moves swiftly under the Gears control scheme and the action feels pretty fluid. The game is also all about cover but it's a little more forgiving if you just run around and shoot - early on anyway. There close quarters combat is almost entirely an after thought and it's extremely weak, requiring you to sometimes hit an opponent over 4 or 5 times before you can finally kill them off with a quick time event finisher.

Although the earlier chapters seem to zoom by, as you progress into the storyline the levels definitely get long. Sometimes almost too long as you are forced to navigate tunnel after tunnel of seemingly pointless railstations, or buildings.

The graphics are amazing for Dark Sector. Water effects are spectacular as is the character bump mapping. Especially during the day sequences the game shines, as at night when everything gets darker it's harder to see the lush graphics.

Solid game, fun shooting, unique power ups as well as weapon upgrades to collect keep it from getting stale. If you like third person shooters then you will probably enjoy this but millage may vary!

I had a great time with this game, im a huge game head and i play everything from scene it! to guitar hero from Halo to Rpgs such as oblivion and fallout 3, For the price you can get this game off ebay, and the price you can get it new even (19.99) this is a GREAT buy. i had a riot playing this game, challenging at times but not enough to make you put it down. I actually had more fun with this game than the new Fallout 3 so far. If you played Dead Space and liked it, you would like this as well, the big thing in video games is stopping time to kill enemies lately, and you can control your glaive (tri blade throwing star thing connected to your hard) and stop it in time and control the direction of it to slice off enemy limbs or even easy decapitations! like i said, a great game for a great price

game is in excellent condition, plays great, received very quickly. great seller. everything is just as described. 10/10

GRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT GGGGGGGAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEE IIIII LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I bought this game because of the cheap price 4.99 and the game did look intresting. WOW. After playing this game I would have gave 40.00 easily. I know most will disagree but this game in my honest opinion is better than Gears of War. The controls are smooth and easy and the graphics are excellent.
Seriously, to anyone who has played and liked Gears of War or that type of game should try it out.

I wouldn't call it a budget title, but it is no big name game. That shows, expecially in it's not-so-original storyline. That being said, being able to get this game for 1/10th the price of a new xbox360 game is well worth it. Fun FPS with a cool gimmicky boomerang type blade. Buy it if you are considering it :)

This game is pretty cool. Neat concept but seems to borrow a lot from other existing games. Being from London, ON myself..I was pleasantly surprised to find out this game was actually developed right here in town. Very cool as not many bigger titles come out of this area. I bought for 6.99 brand new from eGameuniverse retailer and suggest doing the same because its well worth it at that cheap for a brand new version.

this game is fun and easy but they should have worked on the game itself longer it is short but still fun

My son wanted this game and he is very happy with it. It came to me in perfect condition, exactly as described. It also arrived in a timely manner. I like to purchase online and ebay makes it easy to do and get deals to boot!!! I tell everyone about the deals I get and I will definitely do business with this buyer again in the future.

i liked it alot it was cheap and i recieved it fast thats why i love ebay. You can trust ebay with ur money there not like some websites where they take ur money ebay is a trusted site.

I bought this game because it was cheap and was suprised ! I've only played for about an hour but it's a different kind of shooter. You have the blade that can take enemies and pick up items. Plus you get a pistol, or any weapon the enemies use. The story so far is interesting and the environment is dark and moody. Not a bad game for the price.

i like the designs,there is nothing bad or dislike everything is very good; i decide to buy this game because the grafic is very good.

well just because i didnt have any other game and i wanted something fast to play it
but this game has some good action.

I was blown away how great this game was when I played the first 10 minutes of it. I thought it would've been a generic 3rd person shooter but it has incredible graphics(no color though but looks cool anyway)and gameplay. Gameplay has a "gears of war" feel and look to it and that is why I love it so much. I'm not sure how the story is going to pan out but the gameplay makes up for it. The price is so good for this game as well.

The item is in excelent condition, the ship is very fast, the communication with the seller is excelent, I'm really considering to buy another item from this seller it's 100% safe

product arrived as described and seller communicated perfectly. I was notified of all the steps. Will buy from again.

I'll keep this short and to the point. If you like Gears of War you will most likely enjoy this game. It has a Gears of War feeling with the 3rd person shooter style of game play. What makes this game unique is its concept and the glaive weapon which can lead to the mutilation of your enemies. Basically it is one of the most underrated games to come out on Xbox 360/PS3. Definitely a steal for less than 12 dollars on most Ebay auctions.

I absolutly love this game!! Easy controls, great story line, and creepy monsters in the sewers. Whats not to love

This is a fun game, controls a lot like Gears of War. The story isn't a bad one, seems pretty original as far games of late. I bought it because for $9.99, even if it turned out to be a bad game I wouldn't be out that much. For the price, which you can find it used at some places less then $7, it's a great find!!!
