Summary

Game Description

In Dark Sector players assume the role of Hayden Tenno, an elite black-ops agent. After being sent to Lasria, a ruinous Eastern European country, Tenno suffers an attack leaving him with a strange infection that gives him super-human abilities. Tenno's infection is said to be the result of experimental Cold War technology and it will cause him to physically transform throughout the game. One result of Tenno's transformation is the Glaive. The Glaive is a disc-like weapon that protrudes from his hand; it can be thrown at enemies and imbued with the powers of fire and electricity among other things. Dark Sector sets itself apart with an integrated HUD--eliminating health bars or ammo meters--intuitive controls and a dynamic camera system.
