This is a mostly dumb game. If you can find it in a bargain bin then it may be worth the investment. I like First Person Shooters, and was looking forward to this one. However, I found it to be rather lame. The graphics are only so-so. Voice acting is terrible. You can only hold at most three weapons at one time.

Some of the levels are actually much better than others, so it isn't all bad. Also, it is fun to play deathmatch. However, I have only been able to get four levels on deathmatch.

You can play with 15 bots which is fun. Also there are some hovercraft thingees that are neat and don't run out of ammo.

All in all, I am glad that the games on the 360 have improved. If this was my first game I would probably trade in my 360 for something else. I would suggest playing other games first and wait for this title to go down further in price.

What I'd pay: $5.00 or less.

I was waiting for this game after playing the original. However,
it's a mixed bag...

The Good

-The Graphics are amazing

-Co-op mode is fun

-Death Match is fairly fun

The Bad

-Weak storyline

-I'd like to see more boards on Death Match

-A few more weapons would be nice.

The thing that bothers me the most is no auto aim... Sure it
makes the game easy... But I'd rather have auto aim and more
enemies. Also, why does it take so many shots to kill each
person? It seems stupid to spend so much time making the game
look real only for it to take so many unrealistic hits to kill
each guy.

It's a fun game if you discount the fact that it has no story
line and is just a basic shoot'em up game. Get the 49.99 one
ande you don't come off with a terrible deal... but I'd suggest
buying it used in another month.

Worthy Game In Franchise

Perfect Dark Zero is a great addition to the PD series. In this, you are playing a prequel so you find out somethings that happened before the first game that gives a backstory to the original game. It's hard to find anything that is wrong with the game, it's fun, the music sounds great and the graphics are amazing. For one of the first games to be released on 360, it's amazing. I read that the graphics will be even better on games by this time next year so if that's true, it will be amazing. Back on topic, I really do recommend this game if you are a FPS fan. This is definitely one of the best titles to come out in this genre. Get it, you'll like it!

Almost, but not quite

Overall I liked this game a lot. There are only a few complaints I have about it. First, the storyline is awful. I don't just mean bad, I mean terrible. The good news is that while the single player story is bad, playing it is actually a lot of fun. My second complaint is the controls. For some reason, they feel really odd. If you have ever played Rainbow Six 3 on the xbox, then you have sort of an idea of what I mean. It took me a while to finally get the controls down decently so I could actually hit what I was aiming at. Everything else about the game is great though. The graphics are extremely good and the audio is just as good. The weapons feel good to shoot and each gun is tricked out with secondary fire and sometimes a third function. The single player campaign offers a pretty good level of challenge and the AI does its job well enough. One of the big reasons most people will be buying this is for xbox live. From what I have played (maybe about 3 to 4 hours on live), its extremely fun. The levels can range in size from real small to insanely huge which is good. The game supports a ton of players (way more then halo 2, I think 32 players) and games with that many players are extremely crazy and intense. If you are looking for a xbox live FPS for the 360 then pick up PDZ.

Fun for multiplayer and Co-op is pretty good too

This game is old now and more affordable and admittedly there are much better titles on the 360 now, but I pulled this one out because I already own it and wanted to try and milk out the last few achievement points from it. What I discovered while doing so is that this game is actually pretty fun.

Most of the achievement points are obtained through playing online in the different multiplayer modes. There are the typical deathmatch and team deathmatch as well as a few objective based games (sabotage, capture the flag, ect.). The variety of modes to play online and the variety of weapons helps to keep this game entertaining for quite some time.

Also, I tried out the offline story co-op with my brother. The main story on this game is not very good, but it is alright to play through and I found it to be a lot of fun playing through it on co-op. The game also has increased difficulty modes if you are good at the story mode. The problem with these modes is they are annoying if you fail for the lack of checkpoint and the number of objectives that you must complete perfectly. Of course, that is what makes these difficulty settings so challenging (the enemy AI is never really all that great).

For those of you who are curious about the achievement points, it is pretty easy to get the ones for playing online with some time spent playing this game. You only get points from the story mode if you complete the whole story on a given difficulty, but you get points for beating it on both single and co-op modes.

This game might not be so great in todays terms, but since you can get it pretty cheap now it might be worth picking up. If you're looking for some shooter fun online or some co-op play with a friend this game is a good way to get it.

Slight Disappointment

The original Perfect dark was incredible; ahead-of-it's-time graphics, an uncountable amount of weapons and unlockables (many of which you may not have ever found out about) I bought this game with my 360 in march of 2006, and quickly bought Call of Duty 2 afterwards, because this game is only so-so. Everyone looks like a melting plastic mannequin. Overall, the game is pretty fun, if tedious at many points. 3 words 'use nav arrows'

STILL LOTS OF FUN 8.75 OUT OF 10

Even after all these years since the original Perfect Dark was released on the Nintendo 64, its successor still has the excellent gameplay of the original. The controls have been improved, the graphics are amazing and very detailed. There are new gadgets to play around with as well, even if weapons like the gun you literally feed ammo to isn't there. Main character Joanna Dark is much hotter than she once was and her British accent has been replaced with an American accent. However, this game felt too easy because of how forgiving your health bar is to the point of where I died very few times and the boss battles, I only died once in one. And there is an arrow that guides you to your next location. OTher than these minor problems the game is still a lot of fun. So if you love the old Perfect Dark you should try this excellent successor.

fun,but better on xbox live

That word explains this game to a T. The Graphics are Gamecube, the Story is retarded, & the multiplayer is Embarrassing. Why in God's name would Microsoft put out a game that clearly was not anywhere next to finished? This is a poor excuse for a FPS. There are way better games out there; Halo 3, COD 2,3,4, Orange Box, Fear, Bioshock,.... Avoid this game at all costs.
