Rated - 4 starsGreat game

Tam86 from Glenrothes [Highly rated reviewer] , 20/04/2008

This is such a fun game, from the moment you get the glaive it just keeps getting better. Throwing it at your enemies and chopping there limbs off and hearing them cry out in anguish is a lot of fun, you also get the ability to guide the glaive midflight using the 6 axis to get that unsuspecting foe behind the pillar too scared to come out of hiding.

The graphics are good and the shooting and cover system works well. My only complaint about this game is that the story could have been a bit better. There were parts that i felt could have been explained a bit better which was the only reason i didnt give this 5 stars

Overall this is a great game which can be completed in about 10-15 hours, a definte must rent

Fantastic game. only thing that annoyed me was certain parts seemed to go on forever, but not in a good way...at points i just wanted to reach a cinematic, to get to the next part of the storyline because i had been running through the sewers for what seemed like hours and didnt seem to be getting anywhere. Apart from that its fantastic, good storyline, limited but decent amount of weapons. With the Glaive and the powers you gradually earn there is plenty of ways to kill the enemy :P Rent or buy this game now!

Rated - 3 starsDark Sector

A customer from Gravesend , 14/07/2008

some people say the gameplay is like gears of war but that is setting its hopes up to high but is ok. moving and sprinting can be fustrating but the cool blade thing growing out of your arm is pretty fun to play around with espiacally when it goes into slow motion and you see limbs and heads comeing clean of. other than that though theres not much else good about the game except from the cool boss battles with giant mutated monsters. so theres some good core elements in the game but it hasent been perfected and in all the game feels very unfinished. it could of been great but they missed out on some basic components that make a game amazing hense the 3 stars. you should give it a rent and see how you fell about it but youve been warned!

Rated - 5 starsDark Sector

A customer from Carrickfergus , 30/01/2009

Dark Sector is a underdog game, whenever i seen the traliers for it, i said it looked like Resident evil 4. And true it is resident evil 4 with gears of war add on's. Now the difference between Dark Sector and Resident evil 4 is that Dark Sector gives u new additions to your glaive basically every chapter. Meaning that dispite the full on ripp off of ressy 4 it makes u want to play it, to use these new additions. There are 10 easy chapters, u can complete it within a few days like i did. Definately for people who love Resident evil games, this is a nice new change and is well worth a rental

darTHdrago1184 from Faversham , 12/08/2008

perhaps over-rated is a little harse graphically this game is superb even if some of the bad guys look like the control officers from monsters inc (LOL) but for a game that is supposed to be full of fresh ideas this has been done to death although for 3rd person fans its worth a play its just after sitting with this game for a few hours your still not sure what its about and you don't feel like your acheaving anything, i've given this a 3 star rating over a 2 purely because the feel of the game is intense and it is quite fun to fling the the glaive (slightly hippacritical maybe but what can i say its a frisby thats sharp)

onyxspawn from Bradford , 06/09/2008

Very similar to gears of war in terms of gameplay mechanics, but darker in tone and even a little scary in places. (definately to be played in the dark with headphones on) Good difficulty balance means you don,t get stuck on a level and the game progresses at a good pace. If you played and enjoyed gears of war you will definately like this and if you have,nt then give it a whirl, you won,t be dissapointed.
