Swedish SuperPLAY gave Dark Sector 3/10 and this is what Gamereactor thinks:
Dark Sector
+ Nice graphics, huge bosses, some cool ideas
- Boring stages, stupid enemies, lots of bugs
6/10
Lost Planet (PS3)
+ Good looking theme, good action, unbelievable boss battles, loads of variation
- Too easy, bad framerate, not too sharp graphics
7/10
House of the Dead 2&3 Returns
+ Shooting is entertaining, funny cutscenes
- Extremely repetetive, too short, worthless sound
Graphics 4
Sound 2
Gameplay 7
5/10

Chris Needham writes: "With the launch of both the PS4 and the Xbox One now a fading memory, the current generation of gaming consoles has well and truly established itself, with games such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Batman: Arkham Knight and, of course, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, all justifiably taking the limelight. Here at Power Up Gaming, however, we’re not so keen to let go of the past. Originally starting out our coverage as primarily a retro games outlet, we take great pleasure in revelling in the titles of yesteryear."
Bulletstorm, Folklore, and 3D Dot Heroes are just a few of the great hidden gems on PS3
"ZL: Before we knew of the Xbox 360, or anything concrete about the PlayStation 3, we had heard the name Dark Sector. This was a time when what would become the Wii was known only as the mysterious “Revolution.” The 7th Generation of video game consoles hadn’t even begun and we already received a taste of what was on the horizon with a video released by Digital Extremes."
Great article. Great game. Man I wish they'd make a sequel or just re release it or something.
OPM: Digital Extremes’ game director Steve Sinclair has, “lifted the kimono” (his words) on the history behind Dark Sector and how publishing pressure took the game away from its original vision. A vision that the set to return with the free-to-play Warframe on PS4.
That's interesting, They approached Sony with ideas several times, since they are independent, I wished Sony would have published one of their ideas as an exclusive! I loved Dark Sector, even the original concept of the game! Going to see about Warframe at launch.
Oh boy, not looking good for that game. Like I said, the first game to get revealed before this gen began and yet it still isn't out yet. Guess they showed the game just too freaking early.
i dont understand this first it says that it gave Dark Sector 3/10 but then it says 6/10 so which one is the real one
Dark Sector
+ Nice graphics, huge bosses, some cool ideas
- Boring stages, stupid enemies, lots of bugs
6/10
= not good
=(
reminds me of Jericho, more hype as usual....
What did you guys expect?
Haven't you noticed that all multiplats are suffering from the same problems?
1. They all look generic and bland. Either they rip off the Unreal engine, or just make a 1/2 ass engine that has to run on the 360 core w/o hdd.
2. They have stopped making graphical progress since 2006. Why is it that the multiplats of 2008, look the EXACT SAME as multiplats from last year? Rainbow 6 2 anyone?
These devs think they can spend 0 time creating a game, creating bigger and better graphics, better sound design, bigger worlds, and well not THINK, they KNOW they can do that, and sell it for 60 f`ing dollars and morons still pay for it.
You don't get it, if you buy these terrible games:
Army of 2
Assasins Creed
Dark Sector
Turok
Kane & Lynch
It really is just solidifying for the devs that they can get away with terrible bugged games that they can always just release "updated" patches for.
2008 is going to be a very bad year for Multiplats. Sony is doing their part with releasing great exclusives titles that can be used as a substitute. MLB2k is a great example of a failure on the multiplat behalf, and MLB08:The Show shows you how its done when you actually get out of the "profit only' mindset, and back into a quality product AND get a nice profit. Devs are treating us like we are just blind idiots who buy every single shooter out, then they criticize US for not getting their vision.
Turning point BLEW ASS, Frontlines BLEW donkey, but it was only an advertising budget away from being in the spot Army of 2 is. I'm not saying all graphics need to be on the level of Uncharted, but christ they need to make an improvment from the previous titles, as well as gameplay mechanics. I shouldn't be able to play a terrible multiplat on a low range PC. What part of "next gen" sense does that make? Everyone bought into this generation based on bigger and better games, its about time multiplats start showing why they deserve a 60 dollar price tag.
