"With A Few Improvements This Could Have Been Much Better" (2007-10-04)

In November 2005 the XBOX 360 was launched and "Perfect Dark Zero" was one of the first games released for the console.Its certainly not perfect or one of the better XBOX 360 games but its a good game to say the least.This sequel to the original Perfect Dark video game "Perfect Dark 64" is as good but this second Perfect Dark is pretty much on its own.The game suffers from some major gameplay flaws but still manages to be entertaining.I think the first point to discuss has to be the changes made to Joanna Dark,talk about a character getting physical changes,she`s been redesigned kind of like Lara Croft from Tom Raider,whatever they did they changed her a lot.I can only suppose they changed her physical appearance for male gamers,yet this has to be one of the most incredible changes made for one character.You play as Joanna Dark,a special agent born in 2000 living in a futuristic world.Evil is everywhere you need to destroy it,a kind of comon storyline for today`s types of video games and one that frankly isn`t terrible.Still you can`t define a game by its storyline!What you do is basicly:follow the arrows,kill the bad guys,press this and that,go here,go there,do this and that,shoot this and that...way too repetitive,with few exceptions however as some times you will have to play your special agent role at full capacity,not to be seen and such tasks.The gameplay is like the average FPS shooter,with few exceptions.The controls really screw up this game it would have been way better had the publisher taken the time to really make the most of out the controls,wich unfortunatly isn`t the case here.You can`t jump,and that sucks!Your character or any other characters,moves too slow,you actually run but you know that it could have been faster,so it makes a slower gamer that is a great pain.Besides that the controls are pretty average,shoot,reload,pick up a weapon,move,cover,climb are controls that are much like other games and there is no surprise on the gameplay.The scope you have with some guns is very effective and convenient to use the way it was set up.The visuals are really good,even after a few years they still look beautifull after all that time.Its not the prettiest game ever but i think anyone should be satisfied with the graphics.The explosions,guns,characters and enviroments were are greatly designed,that is one thing they did very well for this game.Really good visuals.Story mode is not exactly great,its below average actually,as repetitive as it gets for a game.The tasks they want you to complete are not any fun,theyre just kind of a pain and really boring.It will take a few hours but not more than 10 hours to complete,when its over you will be glad,be assured!Perfect Dark Zero online is really good and fun,as it is normaly is for each mindless FPS.Its always a great deal of satisfaction to kill someone online,the game is better recomended its online and multiplayer modes than the story mode.Its classic you just pick your favourite map and guns sets and from there you can adjust teams,the number of bots,the modes and everything to your liking.A great thing about PDZ is the amount of guns and weapons you can choose from,there a lot and each has uniques abilities and second uses,one gun can make a clone of you,the other can shoot bombs,its nice and different to see such secondary uses in a game.Overral its not one of the better XBOX 360 games but everyone should at least try it once,some will like the game a lot and will buy.It really depends of your style of games and how you deal with the lower points of the games such as the gameplay,but everyone should like it online and multiplayer,wich are the best parts of the game.Had the controls and gameplay been changed for more convenient ones,this game would have killed.

Could have been much better (2007-07-01)

This game isn't very good. Controlling your character feels a bit off and the action isn't as satisfying as in most other first person shooters. The multiplayer is full options but unfortunately isn't very good. The achievements in this game are darn near impossible too. Overall I wouldn't recommend it.

great online shooter (2007-06-14)

I never played the N64 Perfect Dark, I generally took impressions from all the fans...earlier in development I wasn't too excited, however a couple of friends informed me this game online was great...so i picked it up.They were right, the game online is incredible...customization and gameplay are the two main factors. You can basically customize the matches however you want with tons of modes and challenging bots. The maps range from small to massive, depending on the amount of players in the match. 32 player online and i never once experienced lag...and if the host leaves the match, instead of kicking players out the server chooses the next best host. The weapons are incredible, all supplied with secondary functions (that are actually relevant). Only 2 modes of transport, the flyer is just fun and easy to control.Single player is pretty weak but adds enjoyment when wanting to play offline....it will last about 10 hours. It's easy to just pick up and play.Pros:-Incredible texture and environment details-Music rocks-Multiplayer is incredible, lag free-Bots are worthy of your time-Maps A+Cons:-Single player is average at best-Only 2 transportation vechiles online
