Gamespot: Dark Sector PC Review

5
Arriving on the PC a full year after it was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Dark Sector is a stylish action game in which you assume the role of Hayden Tenno, an elite black-ops agent with an infection that mutates his right hand into a lethal glaive. The boomerang-like glaive is an incredibly versatile weapon and, in conjunction with a decent selection of firearms, serviceable cover mechanics, and intelligent enemies, it keeps the single-player game entertaining from start to finish. The story is a mess, and sadly there's no online support for multiplayer in the PC version, but come here looking for 10 to 12 hours of satisfying combat and you won't be disappointed.

The Good:
* Killing enemies with the glaive never gets old
* Protagonist's abilities make him a lot of fun to control
* Mostly intelligent enemies and varied boss battles

The Bad:
* No online multiplayer
* Only two multiplayer modes and five maps
* Storytelling is pitiful

1 - i really enjoyed this game on the ps3
it was originally banned in australia, so i picked up second hand when I was in the US.

it was good old fashioned fun and quite challenging on the harder difficulties. not original (apart from the cool glaive), but still well-executed. nothing like being in the zone charging your glaive and slicing limbs, while performing regular FPS gunplay.

3 - This is a decent game (PS3 version)
though my thoughts about it are influenced by getting it for $13 new. I don't think I would have the same opinion if I paid $60.

If you can find it on sale its worth the distraction.

I don't like Vgames getting marked down for lack of multiplayer....every f'ing game doesn't need it. I've lost 8 Days and Getaway because of this attitude.

There's no online multiplayer.

Only multiplayer over LAN.
