GameZone writes: "When Dark Sector was first revealed in a teaser trailer several years ago, it looked like a next-gen dream: a slick, futuristic sci-fi stealth action game set in space. The game has undergone some major changes since that time. New mechanics have been introduced, and the protagonist's choice of venue has been switched from derelict space stations to Soviet ruins. Rather than relying on fancy technology to get him through, Hayden makes use of a mysterious parasite to utilize superhuman powers in combat. The details of this infection are not nearly as interesting as one might expect, given its frequent repetition throughout the clichéd storyline. At its heart, Aspyr Media's Dark Sector is essentially a third-person shooter. There are a few elements thrown in to give the game some distinction, but this changes the core gameplay almost insubstantially."
