Overall: If you remember the movie from the 80's Krull where a Glaive was weilded and only caught by the thrower. Add to that element w. the ability to use weapons and it makes for a deadly combination. You are Hayden Tenno, a covert operative that's been infected and has slighted mutated him giving special abilities. through the mutation you gain the ability to create a glaive to manipulate w. elements such as water, fire or electricity to take out the opposition.
You find you you can control the glaive and fly it in a certain path or direction whilst in slowmotion. Throwing the glaive to takeout a ememy is great, but once you move in and get close you can perform a Finishing move that goes into a nice slowmotion of the ending action. The bosses aren't to bad, but you need to figure out the trick to take out each one when you are confronted and face them. Dark Sector has fun gameplay for a few hours w. 4 total difficulty settings. Gameplay: As the gameplay begins in Dark Sector it's black & white and you find yourself as covert operative, Hayden Tenno that in Lasria on a special mission to locate a possible defective agent. Upon locating the agent you find yourself meeting up w. a enemy you can't really explain and it infects you w. this Technocyte virus.
Once infected there starts to be color slowly added into the game ans Hayden soon finds this bio-weapon is to make people into killing macines, but with special powers that you have to learn to use. making your way through the Levels your learn new abilities such as After Touch allowing you to guide the Glaive when you throw it and where it goes. Hayden learns he can use the glaive and manipulate elements such as Electricity-open doors, Fire- Incinerate enemies, Ice- to freeze enemies or water.
Many of the Bosses you will encounter there is a routine and once you learn what that is you just rinse and repeat and it's all over with. There are a couple of them that take you little bit to find out what that pattern is, but if you keep at it you'll figure it out. the game will offer you 3 difficulty settings from the start and upon beating the game on the hardest it Unlocks a Brutal Difficulty. Graphics: If I was to use another game to really compare this to visually I would have to a say mix between Gears of War and @!%#*!@!%#*!in's Creed. The water and fire effects look great along w. each area that you get into. these alot of nice textures and usage of lighting that's been done to draw you into the gameplay. I really liked the visuals especially if you are using after touch, where you can see the decapitation take place w/ blood flying or arm being cut off.
