Cut scenes have very low production values, the script is laughably bad, and while attempts are made to explain the plot and some of Hayden's background, it's so poorly conceived and poorly delivered that it's difficult to follow and impossible to care about. Unfortunately, it falls apart quickly, and the initial promise collapses into a void of confusion. You play as Hayden Tenno, a troubled antihero, who is investigating a slightly mysterious, if uninteresting, zombie-like infection that's spreading through the fictional eastern European country of Lasria. There is one thing that stands out about Dark Sector, and even that concept wears thin by the time you're finished with the game.ĭark Sector starts off well enough. Unfortunately, Dark Sector is a completely forgettable game, and the PC iteration is the definition of a cheap, quick and dirty port. It's an incredibly difficult task to muster excitement for an old game, even when it's good. As of this writing, I can find a copy of the Xbox 360 version of Dark Sector, which was released on consoles in 2008, for $6.


It's certainly a unique challenge to write a review for a game that's old enough to be found in bargain bins.
