I remember when video games were just about having a good time and having fun blasting your friends heads off, not about graphics or any of that crap such as GoldenEye 64 and the original Perfect Dark. This reminds me of those games.
What i'm gonna say is politically incorrect, perhaps offensive to some people, but I'm gonna say it any way: PERFECT DAK ZERO IS THE GAYEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED...
@Payasoplas HAHAH! omg I laughed so hard at that awesome comeback. anyways, me too. WTF is this shit... embarresment to what perfect dark is supposed to be.
...And to this very day, I have been unable to complete the first level(after the training exercise) on Perfect Agent because of those damn laptops mounted on the walls inside the club...
Man. This game came out six years before it, yet it still looks better than Modern Warfare 3 graphically, in my opinion. I'm not a CoD hater, in fact, I like the series. I'm just saying, they really need to step it up.
@red16mage It doesn't even look close. The textures and environments are bland; the trees and grass look like an N64 game. The exceptional detail, rich landscapes, and varied set pieces of MW3 are a whole generation ahead. And every professional critic will tell you that.
rare should make another ip besides kinect sports . it would be cool if they made another fps they did make this game why not just start fresxh again and make another ip . or bring the perfect dark series back and try like what SEGA did with sonic generations maybe the next perfect dark might hit 80 something in gamerankings .
@Ofaliss1 Actually yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I bought this game like 2 months ago and saw that people were playing, but if there aren't, you can just put bots in the game and kill them.
My dad gave this game 2 me and im only 11 and i am a grl and i LOVE it ! i just beat mission 2 and im starting mission 3.. i think ill play it right now!~ (turns on xbox360 and gets it set up) oh my GOD misson 2 was so freaking HARD for me! (so are the ships) (im a newbie to shooting games) mobs are hard for me 2 i get pressured lol
Only fps that i truly loved on the 360, even though i have two 360's in my house i dont play the 360 much, but this game really brings me nostalgia for some reason, maybe because its the first fps i ever played on 360
@davefollow: Screw you: The game is actually great once you get used to the play mechanics (you can only sprint unarmed) and the tactical-like style of play. Even though this the first Xbox 360 gme, it graphics are some of the best, if not the best, to ever grace this console, even now 6 years later!
Does the game use the Unreal Engine? The graphics look a lot like Bioshock! Or should I say Bioshock was influenced by this game as it came out less than 2 years later!
Do you think Terramax and Colombiatm had some freaky make up s3x after that? :P For the record though, Colombiatm was absolutely right, and i've been playing games since most of you were getting your arse wiped
I've played this game with my dad when this was new. We didn't get very far but it was fun for a bit. Something tells me it's not as great as the original one though.
I don't understand how this has great level design. Levels, particularly with vegetation, are convoluted, and it's hard to understand where to go or where enemies are. During such sections you can't see the enemy but they can see you resulting in frustration as you're constantly getting hit despite taking cover.
AI isn't clever, you can only carry about 2-3 guns at a time, and indeed the game is very slow. I still enjoy it but many will find a lot to dislike.
Childish comments like 'you suck at this game' are just plain boring. I made an analysis of PDZ, using reasons to back up my conclusion, and your comment was uncalled for.
@Terramax i really didn't meant for it to sound like i was trolling, but it's the truth, if you didn't enjoy this game and you got lost in the environments, you were doing something wrong.
The game provides you with the necessary weapons and instructions to get through any environment, the frustrations you encountered are most likely cause by you, not the game.
Nah, I've played this game with two other people and we're all good at games but with different gameplay styles. The layout of the game isn't well thought out. If an enemy can see you at 100 meters away, with 10 trees in the way, and sharpshoot you, it's not good AI. Also, there a problems characters moving slow, the covering isn't as rewarding as it should be, etc. Like I said in my OP, I still enjoy the game, but others who've played newer games will find a problme with all this.
@Terramax it's a shooting game, you're bound to get shot but if this is such a problem to you, you could always change the difficulty settings, overall seems like you're just bitching about insignificant stuff.
PDZ is a great shooter that noobs find difficult to understand and deal with, you being a good example.
@Terramax "Levels...are convoluted, it's hard to understand where to go or where enemies are." The problems with games of today is the lack of this which you stated, everything is pointed out for you, do this, do that, go here, leaving you with nothing to figure out but to just run and gun...I remember playing the statue park in Goldeneye for the first time and getting lost because I kept going in circles, but it made the game that much better, games today hold your hand the whole way, sucks.
@KevinBusomjack: Rare did not leave Nintendo; Nintendo made the sad mistake of selling Rare off to Microsoft, so it's their loss. Why did Nintendo sell off its greatest second-party developer?!!!
PDZ is a great game, but the only things I find annoying is the fact that you cannot run or jump, where there are plenty of buttons to choose from!
@aglewi41 - They put out great games after Nintendo. Their games still feel like Nintendo games. Perfect Dark, Kameo, Banjo-Kazooie & ViVa Pinata were all really great games. I think its just that gamers are in an age where they just want a diifferent type of game, which is why gamers have overlooked Rare games this gen. This generation seems to be too busy playing cod games. Now microsoft is quickly running them into the ground because of this.
@xkrazyxboix101 I couldn't agree with you more. Many Nintendo fans are simply bashing Rare because they no longer work for Nintendo. Sometimes, aside from considering what Rare has done, we should also consider how Nintendo, selling loads more than before, has also lost much of its touch. Besides, many people tend to forget that many ex-Rare members are in companies such as Free Radical and Retro Studios (ex-members from Square, Lucasarts, Rare & the Turok teams).
@xkrazyxboix101 I've been buying Nintendo games for more than 20 years, and I do NOT think that Starfox Adventures was in any way inferior to games such as Donkey Kong 64 or Conker's Bad Fur Day. Neither do I think that Kameo cannot stand alongside games such as Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess. In fact, during the GameCube years (and even the N64 and SNES era) Nintendo was not the one to get the most of its console (Capcom, Konami, Square, Rare...did it).
@celtance Kameo is a thoroughly mediocre game. Nintendo has always gotten the most out of their systems. You're hopelessly blinded by nostalgia. Nintendo's first-party lineup for Wii is infinitely better than that of GameCube.
@EkajTheSwordsman I would not say that Kameo has been Rare's best game, but I do consider that some N64 games by Rare (Mickey's Speedway USA or Donkey Kong 64, for instance) were worse than some of their subsequent efforts. Besides, I would say I am not blinded by nostalgia, but based on my own experience with GameCube, miles better than Wii -especially considering its time of release. It is the Wii lineup which is miles below that of its predecessors, even in 1st party games.
@celtance If you hadn't said Kameo was better than Zelda, I would not have singled out the game. Personally, I prefer DK64 to that game any day. Whether you prefer Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, NSMB Wii, Brawl, TP, SS, Sin & Punishment 2, the Art Style series, Batallion Wars 2, MP3, MP Trilogy, Other M, Xenoblade, Super Paper Mario, Kirby's Epic Yarn; or Melee, Sunshine, WW, Four Swords, Air Ride, MP 1&2, Batallion Wars, and Baten Kaitos is a matter of opinion.
@EkajTheSwordsman As I said before, I'm saying that based on my experience with those games. being a huge Zelda fan since its origins -and thinking that the best in the series are A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time- I was hugely disappointed with Majora's Mask and, especially, Twilight Princess. The latter was simply boring, flat, unappealing to me. But as soon as I switched on Kameo, the feelings were very different. Zelda also has ups, 'downs' and lows.
@EkajTheSwordsman In that sense were are both talking about our personal preferences. In your view DK64 is a jewel, and from my point of view is far behind the degree of mastery in the original DKC series, especially when compared to the huge achievement (not only in graphical terms, but also in terms of playability) of the first title for SNES. Regarding the Wii lineup, I find it hard to pick up more than 15 titles worth buying, and that had never happened to me with Nintendo.
@EkajTheSwordsman At the same time, I'm sure that Wii fans would be absolutely dazzled (or would pretend to be so) by many games appearing in 360 or PS3 if they could put their hands on them or if they were exclusively released in Wii or WiiU. During the N64 era I had more than enough of that sort of politics, and maybe the repetition of that tactics is what had driven me away from the system and its games, most of which I find lacklustre and derivative.
@xkrazyxboix101 Finally, during the current generation, even though I own a handful of Wii games, they are nowhere near the more than 120 games I got for GameCube, for instance. I also own a XBOX360 and, if I only had a Wii, I would have missed many games I really adore (Alan Wake, Project Gotham Racing, Forza Motorsport, Resonance of Fate, Bioshock, Enslaved, Lost Odyssey, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Bayonetta, Mass Effect, Vanquish...etc). Now Nintendo is just lots of hot air
It's pretty scary how little "nextgen" games have evolved since 2005. It's still just MOTION BLUR!11one and tons of shiny, exaggerated bumpmaps. I still think Half-Life 2 is the best looking game ever made; put a few high-res textures on it and it'll look like a game that came out this year. I wish I was joking..
@BloodxElf how u can go from first person mode to third person. other than that i dont like this game and even if i had an xbox i still wouldnt get it
is it just me or did he not use or mention the weapons secondary abilities once in this whole video? every gun he had still has its secondary abilities....
The only thing you can access in the original Perfect dark for N64 "Without" the expansion pak is the combat simulator, which is basically single or Co-op Multiplayer...... and I bought the game only for that! sense I wasn't going to by the expansion pak just for one game.
The only thing that i really loved about this game was its fun shooting mechanics. I found to the level design to be shallow, repetative, and "same looking". The stotry was stupid and the graphics were weak. But other then that its a pretty good game. Definatly worth a shot!
@GAMERSHARK100 Ever play James Bond Nightfire? It came out in 2002 and the graphics are WAY much better then this! Actually nightfire has more realistic graphics then alot of 360/ps3 games out there. I think they was playing it cheap! Not much thought went into the storyline or graphics.
Perfect Dark Zero is like an unpolished gem. It's not the sequel we were hoping for, but it's a great game! Especially considering it was a LAUNCH TITLE!!
Anyway, the Co-Op on Perfect Agent was amazing and I remember playing the multiplayer for two years straight. It took allot of practice. ALLOT more than other shooters, but once you became a skilled player you constantly kicked ass online. The game is very unforgiving...and that's a good thing!
I swear 90% of the haters on this are either retards who didin't play the original and heard it was awesome and then played this or retards who just didin't play this.. Its basically a HD version of the n64 one and maybe its not 10/10 but its good, and honestly i would call it an excellent game for such an early release.
Really? PDZ was a complete failure. Nintendo was not competent enough to handle Rare with their own hands. The fools forced Rare to build PDZ on a Japanese design, instead of the original one, a true sacrilege -even that ''zero'' thing is- a bit like the Twilight Princess design on Zelda's series. Meanwhile, Microsoft bought the loyalty of Rare and PDZ was transferred to the new xbox 360 without that. Honestly PDZ isnt bad but isnt right. Thats just another typical case of a rushed transfer.
If there's anything that shouldn't have happened in the videogame industry (or at least my oppinion) is that Rare(Ware) shouldn't have left Nintendo! I'm not saying that Microsoft spoiled them or anything, I consider that Rare have left us down themselves and there's nobody to blame.
Every time I see this game I just wish it was the original. I try to enjoy it, but I go the entire time like "this reminds me of the original" "this was like that time in the original" I can't do it. The controls feel strange somhow, I did not get in to the multiplayer part ether. The first game is all I need, along with Duke Nukem 3D, fps paradise right there.
You should have covered the multiplayer a lot more in this video review, for me that is the meat of the game, as the campaign is terrible in so many ways. The great thing about the multiplayer is that it has a total of 32 players online (which is the highest for an Xbox 360 game) and if you prefer offline then you can play multiplayer with bots. There are also vehicles on some maps and there are 2 DLC map packs on XBL of which one of them is free.
Everyone in the forums complains that this is the worst game ever made? It looks okay to me, but Ive never played it. Dont got a fuck box, dont plan on getting one.
*MEGA-SHARP INHALE* I just got a boner! Anyone else get turned on by her? ;) Well at least in Perfect Dark Zero, in the other one she's not as hot. :( :D
Plus this is a perfect example of what happens to Rare after some of the best designers left to form their own company, Free Radicals. Those guys made GoldenEye and the N64 Perfect Dark what it was and without them Rare was never the same again. Free Radicals are amazing!! Timesplitters: Future Perfect proves that which is one of the best games on PS2/XBOX!!
Perfect Dark was the best game on the N64 hands down but was too over shadowed by GoldenEye. It did everything much better plus it was not constricted to a pre set story line or existing franchise. It being over shadowed though is another reason I love it though as I tend not to enjoy games when people go one and on about them being amazing. Always tried to go against that. I like discovering games for myself not having opinions forced down my throat!
I got this game yesterday, and breezed through the singleplayer in a matter of hours (I played on easy). I didn't like it that much, except that you have to give it that it got nice looking weapons and excellent music. The multiplayer however is pretty fun, and worth the $4 (or 30SEK in Sweden) i payed for it.
I got to get this game. I have the original on the n64 but i need to get this. Its one of the best shooters out there on the 360. I can get it for like $5 now. But still.
PDZ was fine. PD64 was fine, as well. However, PD was always overrated. The first game had puzzles with such poor level maze-like design. Neither are awful, but PDZ is hated for some reason. The first one wasn't that great.
super excellent review and yes dreamcast kicked ass . its was the original xbox in a way with online and 4 front ports . pads kinda looked the same and Microsoft helped develop it . still got mine with almost every game going . i also didn't like perfect dark on 64 . just wasn't golden eye :( . PEACE might go buy this its only £2.70 on play dot com :)

Besides, I would say I am not blinded by nostalgia, but based on my own experience with GameCube, miles better than Wii -especially considering its time of release. It is the Wii lineup which is miles below that of its predecessors, even in 1st party games.

@celtance If you hadn't said Kameo was better than Zelda, I would not have singled out the game. Personally, I prefer DK64 to that game any day. Whether you prefer Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, NSMB Wii, Brawl, TP, SS, Sin & Punishment 2, the Art Style series, Batallion Wars 2, MP3, MP Trilogy, Other M, Xenoblade, Super Paper Mario, Kirby's Epic Yarn; or Melee, Sunshine, WW, Four Swords, Air Ride, MP 1&2, Batallion Wars, and Baten Kaitos is a matter of opinion.

@EkajTheSwordsman As I said before, I'm saying that based on my experience with those games. being a huge Zelda fan since its origins -and thinking that the best in the series are A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time- I was hugely disappointed with Majora's Mask and, especially, Twilight Princess. The latter was simply boring, flat, unappealing to me. But as soon as I switched on Kameo, the feelings were very different. Zelda also has ups, 'downs' and lows.

@EkajTheSwordsman In that sense were are both talking about our personal preferences. In your view DK64 is a jewel, and from my point of view is far behind the degree of mastery in the original DKC series, especially when compared to the huge achievement (not only in graphical terms, but also in terms of playability) of the first title for SNES. Regarding the Wii lineup, I find it hard to pick up more than 15 titles worth buying, and that had never happened to me with Nintendo.

@EkajTheSwordsman At the same time, I'm sure that Wii fans would be absolutely dazzled (or would pretend to be so) by many games appearing in 360 or PS3 if they could put their hands on them or if they were exclusively released in Wii or WiiU. During the N64 era I had more than enough of that sort of politics, and maybe the repetition of that tactics is what had driven me away from the system and its games, most of which I find lacklustre and derivative.

@xkrazyxboix101 Finally, during the current generation, even though I own a handful of Wii games, they are nowhere near the more than 120 games I got for GameCube, for instance. I also own a XBOX360 and, if I only had a Wii, I would have missed many games I really adore (Alan Wake, Project Gotham Racing, Forza Motorsport, Resonance of Fate, Bioshock, Enslaved, Lost Odyssey, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Bayonetta, Mass Effect, Vanquish...etc). Now Nintendo is just lots of hot air

It's pretty scary how little "nextgen" games have evolved since 2005. It's still just MOTION BLUR!11one and tons of shiny, exaggerated bumpmaps. I still think Half-Life 2 is the best looking game ever made; put a few high-res textures on it and it'll look like a game that came out this year. I wish I was joking..

The only thing you can access in the original Perfect dark for N64 "Without" the expansion pak is the combat simulator, which is basically single or Co-op Multiplayer...... and I bought the game only for that! sense I wasn't going to by the expansion pak just for one game.

Perfect Dark Zero is like an unpolished gem. It's not the sequel we were hoping for, but it's a great game! Especially considering it was a LAUNCH TITLE!!
Anyway, the Co-Op on Perfect Agent was amazing and I remember playing the multiplayer for two years straight. It took allot of practice. ALLOT more than other shooters, but once you became a skilled player you constantly kicked ass online. The game is very unforgiving...and that's a good thing!

I swear 90% of the haters on this are either retards who didin't play the original and heard it was awesome and then played this or retards who just didin't play this.. Its basically a HD version of the n64 one and maybe its not 10/10 but its good, and honestly i would call it an excellent game for such an early release.

Really? PDZ was a complete failure. Nintendo was not competent enough to handle Rare with their own hands. The fools forced Rare to build PDZ on a Japanese design, instead of the original one, a true sacrilege -even that ''zero'' thing is- a bit like the Twilight Princess design on Zelda's series. Meanwhile, Microsoft bought the loyalty of Rare and PDZ was transferred to the new xbox 360 without that. Honestly PDZ isnt bad but isnt right. Thats just another typical case of a rushed transfer.

If there's anything that shouldn't have happened in the videogame industry (or at least my oppinion) is that Rare(Ware) shouldn't have left Nintendo! I'm not saying that Microsoft spoiled them or anything, I consider that Rare have left us down themselves and there's nobody to blame.

The controls feel strange somhow, I did not get in to the multiplayer part ether. The first game is all I need, along with Duke Nukem 3D, fps paradise right there.

You should have covered the multiplayer a lot more in this video review, for me that is the meat of the game, as the campaign is terrible in so many ways. The great thing about the multiplayer is that it has a total of 32 players online (which is the highest for an Xbox 360 game) and if you prefer offline then you can play multiplayer with bots. There are also vehicles on some maps and there are 2 DLC map packs on XBL of which one of them is free.

Plus this is a perfect example of what happens to Rare after some of the best designers left to form their own company, Free Radicals. Those guys made GoldenEye and the N64 Perfect Dark what it was and without them Rare was never the same again. Free Radicals are amazing!! Timesplitters: Future Perfect proves that which is one of the best games on PS2/XBOX!!
Janimatorck 1 year ago
Perfect Dark was the best game on the N64 hands down but was too over shadowed by GoldenEye. It did everything much better plus it was not constricted to a pre set story line or existing franchise. It being over shadowed though is another reason I love it though as I tend not to enjoy games when people go one and on about them being amazing. Always tried to go against that. I like discovering games for myself not having opinions forced down my throat!

I got this game yesterday, and breezed through the singleplayer in a matter of hours (I played on easy). I didn't like it that much, except that you have to give it that it got nice looking weapons and excellent music. The multiplayer however is pretty fun, and worth the $4 (or 30SEK in Sweden) i payed for it.

PDZ was fine. PD64 was fine, as well. However, PD was always overrated. The first game had puzzles with such poor level maze-like design. Neither are awful, but PDZ is hated for some reason. The first one wasn't that great.
