Great action..Horrid story

User Rating: 7.5 | Dark Sector X360
Dark Sector starts off with a surprisingly good premise, but finishes leaving you kind of confused. The story wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and when the final credits roll you ask yourself, "That's it?" Besides the lack of storyline depth, the action and fighting was done to near perfection. I was a bit skeptical about the glaive when I first heard of this game, but wow…it can really deal some serious damage! I don't know how he learned to use it so fast after just acquiring its powers, but it really packs a punch!

The online modes in this game are pretty fun, but only when you wield the glaive. So, if you aren't really that good, or someone else is really quite good, you won't have too much fun dying every second. If that is the case, you probably won't have much reason to continue the online modes and will most likely stop all together.

With no story, however, this third person sci-fi shooter relies fully on the action and nothing else, and while the glaive is a magnificent weapon to wield, the fun-level simply can not last the majority of the game, making Dark Sector a fun at first glance game, with no real payoff, and no reason to keep you coming back for more.
