A decent game with nice visuals and an overall enjoyable single player experience.
The OVerall story in Dark Sector is actually really generic, it doesnt seem like they put any thought into it at all. Basically you are on an island trying to keep an infection from spreading to the rest of the world. While on the island you become infected and inherit many cool powers such as a shield that can reflect bullets, you can also turn invisible to sneak past, or stealth assassinate your foes. But, the coolest weapon in your arsenal would have to be the Glaive. Just think of it as an extremely oversized ninja star that acts as a boomerang.To through the glaive you can tap RB to through it, or hold it and release at a specific time to get 4x the damage. If performed correctly, you can sever off basically any body part off of your foes. If you happen to come across a fire you can through it into the flame and then at your enemies to set them on fire. The same can be applied to electricity or even ice. Aside from the glaive, you are also packed with a heavy arsenal of weapons, ranging from accurate sniper rifles, to high powered shotguns.
With such a generic storyline, you would think this game sucks right? Wrong. This game offers many different types of enjoyable combat ranging from sneaking past enemies and assassinating them with the glaive, to having a full on asault that may last over 10 minutes. Cover is key when it comes to surviving those long firefights. Just like in Gears of War, your health will regain after a short period of not taking damage. Ammo is preety scarce in this game so you will have to endure using the glaive for long periods of time. dont worry though, when used correctly, you could use the glaive for the entire game if you wanted to, but it would get boring.
Aside from the enjoyable gameplay, the visuals in Dark Sector arent half bad either.The graphics will once again remind you of gears of war because you will be mostly playing in a dark depressing type of environment. When compared with eachother the graphics in Gears are way better but Dark Sector Still keeps up with some of the most visually impressive games on the market.
All in All, Dark Sector is a decent game that offers a fun, but really really short single player experience, so i recommend that you rent it because you most likely wont want to play it again once you beat it a few times.
