Game Informer's Dark Sector Review

In GI's mind, Dark Sector has remained a wild card since they first heard about it – one of those ideas that sounded fun, but whose execution seemed tricky to pull off. Happily, the finished product is well worth the long wait. Dark and gory visuals are delivered through a wealth of remarkable graphical flourishes, from amazing rain effects to stunning textures and shading throughout. Hayden's meandering tale is sadly quite forgettable, but at least the gameplay is a blast.

As negative as GI have been, they still feel that Dark Sector is worth checking out. The glaive is something that every action nut has to wrap his or her hands around. Like the BFG or the cerebral bore, you'll remember this weapon forever. Sadly, you'll remember the weapon more than the game itself.

rentals that is. I mean, GTA4 and GT are good buys but, most games now a days are worth nothing more than a rental

It's just funny :P

but if the action is a blast and it is basically a great and well balanced rip from RE4 and Gears of war then why score it so low. Gears had a very forgettable story as well. it's only saving grace was that it was the first xbox 360 game that LOOKED next gen and at the time HAD unprecident levels of bgraphics and top notch action with it's uber cool cenematics.

1 year and 3 month later a Game with a much better story and more refined gameplay that borrows from Gears and RE4 comes out with georgeous graphics and amazing textures and it's beating with the ugly stick.

if they are gonna rate this they might as well re-review Gears because while it looked good and played well it's story was none existant and their dialog was pretty cheesy. in all reality should have been a B rated game.

it's the graphics and gameplay that should count along with story. because if the story isn't their The game should also fall apart because they reason to unravel the story aint there...

I for one will get this Game. I like Gears and RE4, and from what i've heard the story while weak is alot better than most games out there so that will be it for me.

Ghoul5888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

totally agree on that.

It's weird how they glorified gears (even though the story was damn weak and the gameplay was far from new *kill.switch*) and now beat dark sector for being a ripoff and having bad story telling.

i think dark sector looks no worse then gears

Five of the Best: PlayStation 3 Hidden Gems

Chris Needham writes: "With the launch of both the PS4 and the Xbox One now a fading memory, the current generation of gaming consoles has well and truly established itself, with games such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Batman: Arkham Knight and, of course, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, all justifiably taking the limelight. Here at Power Up Gaming, however, we’re not so keen to let go of the past. Originally starting out our coverage as primarily a retro games outlet, we take great pleasure in revelling in the titles of yesteryear."

Last Chance to Play: Dark Sector

"ZL: Before we knew of the Xbox 360, or anything concrete about the PlayStation 3, we had heard the name Dark Sector. This was a time when what would become the Wii was known only as the mysterious “Revolution.” The 7th Generation of video game consoles hadn’t even begun and we already received a taste of what was on the horizon with a video released by Digital Extremes."

Great article. Great game. Man I wish they'd make a sequel or just re release it or something.

That's interesting, They approached Sony with ideas several times, since they are independent, I wished Sony would have published one of their ideas as an exclusive! I loved Dark Sector, even the original concept of the game! Going to see about Warframe at launch.
