I must respectfully disagree with the reviewer below me. I snagged this game last night on the assumption that it would push the power of my new 360 console. Sadly, Microsoft's 'flagship' title for the Xbox 360 offers not much new to the FPS genre, to include the purported 'revolutionary' graphics. I'm not knocking the game, it is enjoyable and the multiplayer action on Live is tremendous fun. I'm simply not seeing anything here that wouldn't have looked incredible on my old Xbox, much less a justification to buy a next-gen console.

Conclusion: If you're making PD0 the cornerstone of your arguement to buy a new Xbox 360 this weekend, I'd recommend another title that DOES showcase the abilities of this amazing machine, such as Call of Duty 2 or Kameo.

I hope this helps.

HUGE disapoint ment

Ya this game is ass. I thought it was gona be amazing and have great game play and some kick ass guns. I was wrong the trailers looked amazing because they showed the only good parts of the game. I jus rented this game (THANK GOD) but it is hardly worth the 8$. I couldnt beliv how lame the game play is and how it tries to be a stealthy game when its just a regular old fps with nothing new to offer. The graphics are AMAZING and the maine chick is hot , but that is abou it nothing else to this game but runing and guning.My opinion just rent the game or wait til its a greatest hit.

well i got my x box 360( fully loaded) on the day one launch night i love it !!
i got pgr 3 and call of duty 2 which are awesome..i saw this game being displayed at my gamespot and i played it i was like wtf??!! this is a wanna be halo..i did not buy this though..i rented it im glad i did not get this title:) first of all the graphics are good and all thats a given..but the controles are slugglish and not fluid...it sometimes freezes up in gameplay or goes in slow motion which sucks..just like the matrix ...

i suggest you rent this game or buy it used down the road... the nintendo 64 game perfect dark played better however this is the vamped up version of that title but it still looks too cartoonish for my taste. i want realism in a shooter.. like the afore mentioned halo series(smiles)

and where is halo 3 you mught ask? well, all good things take time.. its on the way i already got my copy pre ordered .. master chief would pimp slap joanna dark..without ever breaking a sweat ! nuff said

kudos to microsoft on a great next gen system! it was well worth the wait, well until the playstation 3 comes out in the spring that is :) then the real fun begins..

Not perfect, but darn near it.

This game is very, VERY good overall. It is definetly a swell followup to the original. It packs great graphics, flowing smooth gameplay, great weapons, great sound, and a good story and set of characters. The single player is very immersive and well made, and the multiplayer is just as good.

Yet, I cannot forgive this game for it's lack of a jump button. I'm sorry, but it's just that easy: EVERY FPS SHOULD HAVE A JUMP FEATURE. Yes, the game SORT OF makes up for it with the whole "being able to climb over walls" instead, but it doesn't really do the trick.

Other than the absence of the jump button, this game is brilliant. It belongs among the greatest of the first-person shooter genre, right in there with Halo 2.

not worth your time

Theres no significant difference between this and the n64 version. Controls are pretty much the same and the graphics aren't very impressive either. This is only worth it for the die hard perfect dark fan. If your just looking for a good game - save your money for a different release

**First person shooter innovation**

I will let you know first that I am an first person shooter pro and have been playing since wolfinstine 3D. This new perfect dark is amazing.I enjoy playing and my wife enjoys watching and playing as well.It has a action anime type feel with 007 64 wepons feel.As most perfect dark vets know perfect dark was developed by the original 007 team and this new xbox 360 version has that great responsive control witch is good for new gamers and comfortable for old gamers or vets.<><><><><><>Now the fun part the grafics This game is very detailed and vivid the levels are open and the caracters look sweet there lips move when they talk.When you shoot a bad guy they respond in different ways the yell out "You hit me in the gut."or"Oh my god you killing me." and many other phrazes and qwips. Oh my personal favorite is when there is more than on guy around and you hit one they will say "Hey you need a bandaide for that" or "She is hit.That had to hurt".Depending on what surface you shoot the bullet hole is different like concrete walls have dist particles and make krush like imprints cars make an indention that is very realistic windows shatter too.Sound*If you have a standard souround sound you good but if you are a effect geek like me you have a digital fiber optic sound system and you willl be able to hear every thing from shells droping from enemys wepons acoss the room.<><><><><><>Game play is new and inovative the roll move is somthing that my friends and I have always wanted in a 1ST person shooter I mean why not you can duck so this is new sweet and fun.The cover move is real sweet.When your next to a wall or window you can press the (A) button and your character will cover acorrdingly you will get a aiming curser to lay the smack down.(this is especialy fun with the shot gun) So over all this is a game for the extream and the casual gamer. To all the blogers or whatever just learn to have fun and state facts no one sided jibberish

good, but no where near great

Well...this is coming from a hater of the original PD. i bought the game reluctantly due to a friend getting it that same day. all i can say is that for 50-60 bucks, we should've gotten a lot more than we did. after waiting how many years to only get 8 or so hours of play is very, very disappointing. but, while it is short, it is a fun play through. in my opinion, it's the multiplayer that gives it a much needed shot of adrenaline, without it, i'd play it, beat it, forget it.

The prequel to one of the best fps games ever made is finally here!

If you like GoldenEye, Perfect Dark or Timesplitters you should play this game. This is not Halo and that is a good thing. It has cameras and alarms to avoid and you actually have to make sure you have a silenced gun, If you raise the alarm, the mission is over. This game gets better the longer you play it, but if you don't have Xbox live, you probably should not get this game. Singleplayer on Perfect Agent difficulty, Xbox Live co-op and Dark-ops on Xbox Live are probably the best features in this game. You will not be able to enjoy this game if you use the default controls, you will need to adjust the sensitivity and you may end up changing it multiple times to be able to actually play the game.

For the same time in my life I wish I had listened to the haters

This game controls pretty bad. The responsiveness is not what we have been accustomed to in the past years while playing the Halos, Quakes, Call of Duties, Farcry, Battlefields, Half Lives, Rainbow Sixes etc, etc. etc. The point is any good game has responsive controls and this one doesn't. I advise you to rent it and see for yourself, this game will make you appreciate what we now take for granted in shooters: Responsive controls. I can see I was not a lucky coincidence to find this game already used at my local games store. There was a good reason for the previous owner to trade it in. I will trade it in today for Call of Duty.
