According to the video review, Dark Sector protagonist Hayden Tenno moves slowly (this reminds me of Resident Evil 4’s Leon Kennedy). I find this rather strange since Dark Sector is written as a “superhero origin story.” Sure, Leon may be a suspiciously slow-moving Secret Service agent (though RE4’s cinematics shows quite the opposite), but since when did a superhero plod?

But enough about what I think. I observed something rather peculiar when I was browsing through Dark Sector’s review scores. The PS3 version garnered a better average (76%) than the Xbox 360 version (72%). Could this be because of the Sixaxis controls that are used for guiding the glaive? Do four points really matter anyway?

What do you think?

Dark Sector video review is out

Dark Sector is such a game. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.

Is it just me, or does this game scream Gears of War? The running, rolling, and the cover are particularly too familiar. Like I said, there’s nothing wrong with borrowing a few minor elements, but if the game under development is becoming more and more of a clone, then there’s a danger of backlash from gamers.

While we agree that Gears’ gameplay is fantastic, duplicating it in another game would only make gamers look disparagingly at said clone.

Would Dark Sector be a keeper or a rental?
