Dark Sector for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

the good: Great intuitive controls. Fantastic glaive throwing device with endless fun cutting up ememies. Gunplay works well together with glaive. voice acting was appropriate and not annoying. puzzles are a decent challenge and not frustrating. Graphics are good. The use of elements for your glaive like fire, ice, and electriciy was a nice touch. Enough playability to keep my intrested til the end

the bad: Some dreary unspectacular level design that may make you say 'this looks like the last level'. Confusing story. music good but forgetable. Tasks of opening blocked ways was inventive, but still a 'do this to open this door to more enemies' type gameplay. Bosses were a bit cheap with the one strike kills, but not intirely frustrating. Money for guns was a problem and I could not afford anything more than 3 out of the 10 offered, and the upgrades were not interchangable once you install them.

Overall: It felt like it needed a jolt or more going on in the game, and it felt a little empty. If they changed the color scheme more often or level design it would be a great game. It's a Good rent if you have a weak lineup or waiting inbetween more inticipated games.

darkSector is by no means a perfect game. However, it accomplishes the simple tasks of remaining fast paced, action packed, and allowing you to manipulate a heck of a projectile weapon. I've never had so much fun decapitating bogeys before. Sure a headshot is always nice ala Halo or R6, but to guide a 3 bladed glaive through the neck of a baddy standing 100 feet away...priceless.

The games story is simple, the black market weapon smithing is simple, the gameplay is simple, and to experience satisfaction is simple. This is not a highly techincal game, if your looking for taht move on, but I appreciated that about darkSector. Its a get up and go action game that won't consume life. A couple of hours a day for a couple of weeks and I was done with it.
I love it as such and would recommend anyone to check it out for the simple reason of it being SIMPLY FUN.
