Dark Sector is one of those games that most gamers will play through once, then move on to something else without a second thought. One of the big selling points of Dark Sector is the glaive. This weapon is essentially a bladed boomerang. Yes, it's fun to use at first, but once you have chucked this thing at enemies a couple dozen times, the novelty wears off. Early on I realized that the glaive was actually less effective than simply using the games various guns. The most effective use for the glaive is picking up items such as extra ammo and temporary enemy weapons. I say temporary because the only way to keep the games guns is to purchase them without the anti-infection system, which is on most of the enemy weapons. Most weapons can be purchased through the games black market merchant (Think Resident Evil 4). Dark Sector uses the same cover system as Gears of War, so when not using the glaive, it becomes painfully obvious how similar the two games are. I also found that the game is just plain boring. You end up fighting most of the same enemy types throughout the whole game. Even the boss fights are nothing more than finding the enemies one weakness, and exploiting it until they have been killed. The game is relatively easy. Most gamers will find that they can blast through Dark Sector in no time. Once finished, most gamers will not play through Dark Sector again, unless they are achievement junkies.
