Additional Dark Sector Information

A new kind of weapon for a new kind of hero.Dark Sector is a third-person Action/Shooter that thrusts players into a sci-fi flavored nightmare scenario set in the post Cold War era. Playing in the role of Hayden Tenno, an unscrupulous covert operative sent on an assassination mission into Lasria – a fictional Eastern European city on the brink of ruin and rumored to be contaminated by a mysterious and frightening plague, Hayden takes out his mark, but before he can escape is attacked by an unknown enemy. Not killed outright as expected, he is instead infected with the virus that is causing the plague.

New weapons, a new hero
Hayden Tenno and his glaive.
Hone your skill with the glaive.
Take on enemies the old-fashioned way.
Duel-wield glaive & gun. The Technocyte Virus and Hayden’s EvolutionJust as with the other victims swarming the street of Lasria, the Technocyte Virus imbues Hayden with powerful, inhuman abilities. These abilities are not static and as they progress they cause severe, accelerated pain; pain that eventually drives their hosts insane, turning them quite literally into monsters of superhuman power. Hayden possesses an unexpected resistance to this maddening pain, but his body is not spared the mutations caused by the virus. The first of these are metal armor that grows from his body and a three bladed, throwable weapon called a "glaive" which explodes from his right arm and can regenerate if lost. But these are only the beginning. Eventually players may also gain the power of limited invisibility, the use of a bulletproof shield and an assortment of deadly melee attacks.As Hayden slashes his way through the mutants overrunning Lasria he stumbles upon a plot by a rogue operative and his private army of henchmen to harness the power of the strongest of these mutants for some dark purpose. No longer entirely human, but not a mindless mutant Hayden must make a decision whether to use his own new powers to stop this plot or look the other way. But regardless of his choice, he has become the target of both the blind rage of his fellow mutants and a shadowy paramilitary group that seeks to control them.Weapons: Glaive, Guns and the Black MarketDark Sector is far from the traditional third-person shooter. The glaive is the game’s signature weapon and as players gain experience they will come to see that it is not only a stylish weapon, but also much more versatile than the traditional firepower available in-game. It is of course deadly as a slashing weapon and can be thrown great distances, but as Hayden’s powers evolve the glaive can be used in unexpected ways, ranging from siphoning and focusing elemental features like fire and freezing cold on enemies, to opening doors and retrieving items from inaccessible areas. But this doesn’t mean that players can shun the conventional weapons scattered throughout the game, quite the opposite.To be successful players must successfully journey underground to the game’s ‘black market’ where they can purchase new weapons with scavenged rubles and also upgrade their existing weapons. Some of these upgrades include increasing a weapon’s firing rate, larger ammo clips, the ability to fire two simultaneous rounds and a ‘puncture ability’ that allows you to shoot through any enemy to hit another standing behind him. Finding the entrances to the black market are important because firearms in the game are biologically sensitive to mutant powers and unless altered to ignore the existence of altered DNA are useless to the mutated Hayden.Gameplay Modes and FeaturesNot only does Dark Sector contains a deep singleplayer story mode, but in addition it features multiplayer functionality allowing players to harness Hayden Tenno’s mutant powers in two different ways, both in awesome 10-person online multiplayer combat. The two modes include:Infection Mode: Think of this as ‘tackle the guy with the glaive.’ In this timed mode one player assumes the role of a fully-powered Hayden Tenno, complete with shield, invisibility and melee capabilities, while the other nine play as human operatives trying to kill him and take his place. The player in the role of Hayden receives a single point for each kill made, while the soldier that takes him down gets 2, plus the right to wield the glaive in the next go around. Players making assists in the slaying of Hayden receive one point as well. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins.Epidemic Mode: In this team-based mode, with a set number of rounds per match, two teams, each made up of one Hayden and a group of soldiers, battle to kill the other team’s Hayden. A single point is awarded to each team per kill of the opposing Hayden. Each Hayden begins at full strength and the team with the most points at the end of the round wins.Other features available in both multiplayer modes include voice chat and global leaderboards.The Birth of a SuperheroWhether in singleplayer or multiplayer modes the developers of Dark Sector have endeavored to link every action of the player to the mutant evolution of Hayden Tenno. This means that as players progress through the game defeating bosses as well standard enemies they increase Hayden’s mutant abilities and advance his disease. It’s a catch-22 that with every victory Hayden becomes less human, but one that the game’s storyline relishes as the one-time hitman slowly and unsurely morphs into a hero.

What Customers Say About Dark Sector:

While I agree w/some of the previous reviews about the need for better hand-to-hand combat, this is still a great 3rd person shooter game. Difficult bosses, changing storylines and scenarios add to the fun. At the current prices of less than $10 (currently $6 on Amazon), this is an Excellent value.

I mean, that's the only thing Krull had going for it (really showing my age with that reference). Even though you can find different weapons, or purchase them, you'll most likely stick to the gun you have from the beginning. I liked the game overall, but it does have some problems.The only reason I bought this game is because of the Glaive, because who hasn't wished they had a giant ninja star you can control. I actually bought this game shortly after it was released. Something about an infection creating monsters. Moving from cover to cover is not as smooth as it could have been.

Really liked the look of the armor on the Nemesis, one of the last bosses.Unfortunately the controls are a bit sluggish.

Yeah, the Glaive is a one trick pony, what with the slicing, but you can add fire, lighting, and ice elements on certain stages of the game.

The game is entertaining, but forgettable.

In fact it was one of the first games I bought for the PS3, but stopped playing once Metal Gear 4 came out and never actually finished it until a few minutes ago.

I sure did, after some minor upgrades to it.

You can also control it with motion control or the right stick.

Besides the Glaive, you'll unlock a few additional powers like a shield, armor, etc.

I mean, I can't really remember the story and I just finished it.

But really, for less than $10 you can't go wrong.

When I first got Dark Sector I paid it $14.99,now it's only $6 NEW or $4 used. Even if you don't like it, its not like your losing any much money.With that said DS is great game.the best way to describe it would be as a RE:4 clone. The graphics are good and the story is also good, Unfortunately its not my kind of game horror shooters have lost there edge with me.I'd recommend it for people who like horror games with a good story, or for people who want to give this genre a try.I mean for the price what do you have to loose.

Excelente juego. Tiene muy buenos graficos, y la trama es interesante.Muy bueno.Lo recomiendo.

For a rifle I chose to keep the regular machine gun with add-ons to make it even better. I had my doubts whether or not I should get this game, but after watching some real gameplay videos and reading mixed reviews I decided to buy it anyway. I would suggest to pack a good long range weapon and short range, and then, like around Chapter 7 or so, get the best deal, so save up.Now, why is this game good. The game starts out slow, at first I honestly thought it was going to be pretty bad, but with time and experience the game turns out to get weirder and weirder.The enemies go from humans to complete never before seen biohazard creatures, there is nice mix of 'em to go around. Your main weapon is your Glaive, playing around with it is fun, but like some have said, the weapon is at times extremely weak (unless charged with fire or electricity) I found my way around this though, charge your secondary weapon with power-ups, in fact, getting the little sawwed off shotgun (though the clip can only hold 3 shots at best) was a great add, either that or the Tekma burst (juiced with power-ups). I liked it because it was a shift from the usual first person shooter, mind you, I love those, but why not try something else for a change. The game is in third person, not difficult at all, good handful of enemies, no life to worry about since it recharges if you wait out the damage, even the bosses (though they take some time to figure out how to be dealt with) can be a little frustrating at times because you don't know whether spraying them with bullets will work or not, I guess you can take a peek at how to deal with them best online, which is what I did for some of them.
