Gives new meaning to infinite health/ammo!!!!

maybe a few spoilers-not storyline related.

Dark Sector is a brilliant video game if you love action, blood & gore! Also, what you will enjoy is you practically have infinite ammo/health, and here is why: First of all, the game pretty much evolves the use of the glaive, you will find yourself using this three bladed killing weapon throughout the game rather than ANY gun. The reason for this is because, not only does it help you open crates or unlock gates or solve simple puzzles, it is the best weapon in the game! The fact that it always returns without failure signifies-infinite ammo! Sure, you may have to move in closer for the enemy to be in range of the glaive, but that never is a problem! And for the infinite health, yes you can die, but if you find yourself heavily attacked, just take cover and your health will regenerate automatically. None of that, search for health packs while you're on your last leg. The enemies in the game are fun to kill! It is great to hear the human enemies (with automatic weapons) scream for help while you're throwing the glaive towards them, it gives you power! What also makes the glaive better is the power-ups you gain as you progress. My favorite is "search and kill" thats what i call it (cant remember the real name) but with this power up you can throw the glaive and then you, the player, can guide it where ever you want it. Its great when you want decapitations and it is very useful during puzzles. However, like all good there is some bad, but for this game it isn't a huge bad. And the bad for "Dark Sector" is the story. As you're caught up in the action, you forget about the story, not to mention the story is very weak. But that does not ruin the game in any way. If you want a lot of action and gore Dark Sector is for you. If you want good storyline and jaw dropping twists, you wont find it here. In closing, another good thing about the game is when you complete it, you can choose which chapter you want to choose from rather than playing it from start to finish.
