Krull is finally in your hands.
Dark Sector is a compilation of many great games, but it still culminates in a unique experience. There's a little bit of Gears of War, Resident Evil 4, Uncharted, Bioshock, and several others all wrapped up in an eery and exciting game.
You play as Hayden Tenno, a black ops agent sent into the fictional country of Lasria to bring down a mad scientist before he can unleash the "Technocyte" virus onto the world. Fortunately for you, you get infected with the virus early on and then benefit from the many abilities it grants you.
The infection transforms your right arm into this metallic death dealer that spawns the glaive, a 3-pronged blade capable of dismemberment, burning enemies alive, electrocuting them, and freezing them. As the game progresses, Hayden's abilities increase, which involves the ability to form a force field/shield and to detonate the glaive when it approaches a group of enemies.
The gameplay works pretty well as a 3rd person, over the shoulder view. There are times when it takes about 3 or 4 throws of the glaive to kill an enemy. Also, some enemies require you to unload a full clip into them to bring them down. I guess that is the benefit of being a mutated human. It can be a little frustrating, but that's not half as frustrating as some of the melee moves. They are even less effective. And some of the finishing moves are a bit repetitive.
That being said, Dark Sector still has some of the best graphics in a console game. The lighting and textures are about as good as Gears of War and Uncharted. The sound design is top notch. You are flooded with all these eery sound effects that totally creeps you out.
The game is pretty linear, but you never quite know when the monsters will jump out at you, so it keeps you on your toes. There are 10 chapters in the game, which makes for a medium length story (I'm currently on chapter 7). Despite a few minor setbacks, I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. I think if you enjoy survival horror or shooters, you will find Dark Sector eerily pleasing.
