Average Ratings:

A first-person shooter that mixes spy and sci-fi, Perfect Dark is both a thoroughly engrossing one-player experience and a riotously fun multiplayer romp. Easily one of the best games of its genre on any video game console, this long-awaited follow-up to GoldenEye 007 is a must-have for Nintendo 64 owners--and a damn good reason to be one if you're not.

The futuristic Perfect Dark casts players as Joanna Dark, a secret agent who becomes embroiled in a sinister conspiracy involving aliens and an evil corporation. Gameplay is broken down into missions, each with objectives that must be unerringly completed before progressing to the next mission. This is not your typical kill-anything-that-moves game: putting a bullet in the wrong person, not keeping the right one alive, or perforating a seemingly unimportant inanimate object can often result in mission failure.

While Perfect Dark's solo missions play out much like those in GoldenEye 007, the game's fantastic multiplayer options are another matter entirely. Cooperative and counteroperative simultaneous-play modes allow for another player to join in on a mission as, respectively, a teammate or the enemy. However, the real fun here is in the highly customizable Combat Simulator, a one-to-four-player simultaneous-play mode that features both free-for-alls and team-based challenges and can include up to eight Simulants, computer-controlled combatants of varying behavior.

Although Simulants make for decent adversaries or teammates, you'll want to grab a friend--and an Expansion Pak, as only 35 percent of the game is available without one--to fully enjoy Perfect Dark. --Joe Hon

Summary: Perfect Dark IS Perfect
Comment: In it's time on the Nintendo 64 platform, Perfect Dark was an incredible step in the time-line of first-person shooters. Metacritic rates the game at a tie for 3rd place in the history of gaming (or at least as far back as the 64, Playstation, Dreamcast and all the way up to our current systems).
Though the graphics are somewhat outdated, Perfect Dark still has a great feel to it. It still remains a very playable, and fun first-person shooter; one of the leaders in it's genre. Just wait till the port of Perfect Dark to the Xbox 360 Arcade is complete; the graphics will be touched up for modern day play, with the same old maps and guns, plus a new adventure with multiplayer over Xbox Live. Strap in, and hold on tight, the fun never ends.

Summary: A Exciting Sci-Fi Adventure!
Comment: Perfect Dark is hard to review because in many ways it is the same as Rare's previous shooter, GoldenEye 007, but in other ways it is so much better. In short, Perfect Dark is the perfect, non-official, sequel to GoldenEye 007. Sure, the settings are different, and there are some different weapons (after all this IS a science fiction based game), but overall you can still see the loving touches the developers brought back from GoldenEye.

The game is set in a well developed science fiction environment and many of the levels provide difficulties that are handled by the new features added to the character's options. The wide range of weapons is one of the major improvements over its predecessor, GoldenEye, as well as the unique plot (after all, this one isn't based on a movie). So the plot is an interesting one involving alien invasions and government conspiracy and does keep the gamer interested throughout its run, but without a doubt my favorite feature of this game that I found lacking in GoldenEye 007 is the actual use of voice actors. Joanna Dark and all the other characters in this film have a voice we can link to their image, while with GoldenEye we'd have to go back to the film to recall the voices of our characters.

Of course, the major improvement over GoldenEye 007 is the multiplayer feature which is fun, and do to a wider range of weapons the gamer is allowed to execute new strategies, so overall Perfect Dark really is an expansion of GoldenEye 007 as well as being a great gaming experience by itself.

This is a game that is great to play back-to-back with GoldenEye 007, because you should probably learn the controls from GoldenEye before you play this game because it makes it a lot simpler (but I suppose you could play this before you play GoldenEye, but I'm someone who likes to play/view in chronological order).

So if you enjoyed GoldenEye 007 (as so many other people have over the years) you should certainly dust off the Nintendo 64 and come back to this perfectly worthy successor.

Summary: EPIC!! (You Should Own This Already)
Comment: This is one of my favorite games of all time. This is the best FPS (First Person Shooter) I have played to date, so when this first came out it blew me away. There's a great multiplayer combat mode where you can make a custom character with two options (Head and Body). You can face up to 8 sims. You don't need two players to play the combat mode. You can make teams (So you don`t have to kill you friends). You can make a custom list of weapons. It saves your stats on your player profile and gives you awards. You can create a whole game (Enemy Sims, Level, Weapons, Limits, and teams) and save it. If you like any FPS games, you have to get this one!
