Summary
Dark Sector adds a nice element of play to the current market of third-person shooters that are becoming stale with repetitive gunplay. The glaive is a great addition into the genre and will help keep things interesting throughout your playing experience.
We like
- Glaive is solid
- Fantastic Visuals
- Solid voice acting
We dislike
- Slight visual tearing
- Enemy AI is skitzy
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
(continued from previous page) ...the experience at all, much like the tearing in Dark Sector is so minor that it doesn’t detract from it either.
As for the online aspect of the game, it’s not as lackluster as we thought it would be. There is definitely some substance to it and if you have a couple of friends in the server with you, it can be a ton of fun. In Infection you’ll be able to take the place of Hayden Tenno or one spot of nine hazmat soldiers. Though Tenno will be given the full ability set that he has in the game, the soldiers can easily work together to take him down. We must mention though that nothing is as refreshing and satisfying as turning invisible to sneak behind a hazmat soldier and then finally snapping his neck.
As for the Epidemic mode where two teams, each with their own Hayden, have the objective of taken down the other team’s Tenno, the game works just as it should. Like a standard game of VIP mode, it plays just as expected. There is nothing groundbreaking within the multiplayer experience, but it isn’t exactly lacking either. You’ll definitely be able to put in as much time in the multiplayer world as you do the single player environment without getting bored.
Dark Sector provides an excellent, dark experience to contrast against the bright existence of Uncharted. These two games together would definitely prove to be one another’s Ying to the other's Yang. If you happened to enjoy Drake’s Fortune, then Dark Sector will bring you a similar experience in a gorier environment.

From what I've seen so far, this game looks well worth the buy. I can't wait to play it and the graphics are pretty top notch stuff. Plus ever since the 80's after the Sci-Fi fantasy movie Krall came out I've always wanted to play a game with a glaive as one of the weapons.

Sounds Great!
The cons really aren't that bad and the visuals look amazing. I'm buying this game based on PSU's decision.
THX!

IDK about this game.Xplay gave it 2stars out of five.And the cons they spoke of seem like its something thats possible when lookin at the gameplay. Not every game is worth $60. Mine went towards HSG and Im happy.
