I was a little concerned about buying this because I thought a girl character and the low price would make this a likely whimpy game, but in fact this game was great bang for the buck. A really good shooter that was good fun and very reasonably priced.

Just another half baked title

there is nothing special here I really don't know why this game go high reviews mainly a lot of creeping around and it has kind of a poor aiming system for the weapons.

Blast to play, a slightly lighter hearted shooter than Halo, similar game mechanics. Many weapons, toys to play with.

Not Perfect

As crazy as this may sound,if I was given a choice to either play Halo 3 online or the original Perfect Dark with three other people,I'd take Perfect Dark in a heartbeat.The multiplayer maps were great,the guns (and their second features) are incredible,and the ability to create your own character was the sweet icing on the cake.The original game absolutely destroyed my social life,along with a few of my friends as well.So if you can imagine I had extremely high hopes for Perfect Dark Zero,and in the end I was some what satisfied but more disappointed than anything.

For one the campaigns story is a JOKE.I know the original story wasn't anything special,but this is just terrible.The first half of the game you're running around with your dad,who is supposed to be literally the best secret agent in the entire world,yet he is constantly getting himself into trouble because he's so clumsy and seems to be a magnet for bullets.I don't know how this guy managed to survive all these years without Joanna,because she is saving his sorry life every other minute.
But for what the campaign lacks story wise,it makes up for in it's gameplay and graphics.A lot of the guns you know and love from the original make their appearance in this game.Don't expect to use them all to much in the campaign though because it is fairly short,and with a story like this you won't seem to mind.

The only other reason I can forgive this game is fun factor from the multiplayer.Even though Rare decided not to put maps from the original game,and it's other hit GoldenEye,it's still a blast.Especially by adding vehicles and jetpacks.

I don't regret buying this,even though it didn't live up to every little expectation I had.And for the low price it is now I'd recommend it to fans who haven't picked it up yet.

3.5/5.0

"With A Few Improvements This Could Have Been Big"

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.

Trash.

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.

Perfect Dark N64 was way better

First off, its almost 2008, and I just bought this game. I bought it because it was so cheap that it was practically free. Good thing too, it sucks!

Xbox 360 games now have graphics that totally blow this game out of the water. The AI is a joke, and the controls are, well, its hard to describe but basically they suck. It just doesn't feel right.

The biggest disappoint I have is that this game taints my wonderful memories of PD for N64. Now that was an awesome game. Playing PD N64 with my siblings was the best. The bots, the weapons, the levels, it was great. The controls were so much better on N64 too.

Its too late to appreciate this game, too many other excellent jaw-dropping games are out... buy something like Halo or GoW.

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.

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'

Awesome

I thought this game was really good because the game play was amazing. The graphics and weapons were a huge improvement from the orginal. the secondary in the weapons were all really unqiue and useful. The only thing I had a problem with was the voice acting and the plot holes. I liked it better when Joann Dark was a full agent and was bothered by her dad. Otherwise, it was pretty good.
