We are lucky that we N64 owners will one day look back on the late 90's and early 00's with nostalgic feelings when we consider the great games we had. Mario 64, Zelda 64, Majora's Mask, DK64, Shadowman (most underrated game ever) Superman 64 (excuse me, Freudian Slip) Goldeneye, and this most of all, this beauty of a game. I got hours of enjoyment from this game, and I am sure most of you did as well.
This is an awsonme game.

This game is cool. But you need an expantion pack to play the missions. You need a memory card to play the Challenges and save. This game is a tiny bit like 007 Goldeneye. But it's Story Line is very different. At first,you're killing bad humans. But later in the game you kill Bad Aliens and help good Aliens. It has two levels from 007 that you can unlock in the Challenges, but the actual story line is about Aliens. The good thing about this game is that you can beat the missions with other people. You can't do this on 007 Golden Eye. This is a cool game and if you don't have it then you should get it.

Perfect Dark is a simply amazing game. I know... I'm writing this almost 5 years after the game came out, But I assure you i beat the game years ago. I was rummaging through some old games several hours ago when I rediscovered this gem. To think, I had almost forgotten how good this game was. Sure, compared to Games like Doom3, Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Golden Eye Rouge Agent, this game has horrable graphics, but this is very easily overlooked. The story is engrossing, the weapons are fantasic, and the multiplayer is the best thing since online play. The controls take some getting used to (I've been spoiled by these controlers with two thumb sticks lol), and the N64 controls are a little too sensitive for this game (corrected by some auto-aiming functions), but you will get over this. The guy before me (who wrote his review 4 years ago...) isn't entirely right. Is the game difficult? yes. Is it impossible? no. I beat the whole thing on medium difficulty and got half way through hard before finially retiring the game (I hope to one day beat the whole game on hard though). The game will actually require you to practice if you want to beat those higher difficulties (thats why there are tons of training ops, and a combat simulator), and you will have to try missions over. The game is not nearly as hard as you may be led to believe (If you want it to be though, the game can be set on some insainly hard difficulties... we're talking about so difficult, that they could be concived as a cruel joke rather than a difficulty level... but thats only if you want to set the game this high.) The game offers so much variety, you will hardly get bored with single player, and enough customization options for multiplayer, that it rivals most modern games (which is pretty sad). From stealth, to hostage rescue, to defense, to assault, to reconance, to assassination, to infiltration, there are so many things you will do in single player. I some how get a feeling that this review will never be read, but if by some chance your wandering eyes glance over this review, and you are still the proud owner of an N64 with and expansion pack, then believe me when I say that if you find this one, you can't afford to not pick it up. This remains one of my all-time favorite games... don't miss it.

This is the first game I EVER bought for my N64. This is the only game I ever bought for my N64. This is BY FAR the greatest game for the Nintendo 64. If you don't buy this game, there is definately something going on in your head that prevents you from enjoying something so awesome. I've had so much fun playing Perfect Dark, I look back and see the great times I shared with my frinds playing it. There are so many different things to do in this game. You can play the regular story-mode, and if you get bored, go to the training room and test your skills at different levels. If that gets old, go to my personal favorite, the shooting range. You can shoot any gun in the game and earn ranks with each one to unlock more things in multiplayer. Got a buddy over? No problem, play some co-operative mode and work together to complete those solo-missions. Got more than one friend over? Play Multiplayer and blast eachother off the planet. There is also a great bot system, there are bots that aren't so good for if you are just starting out, ranging to bots that are extremely awesome which will challenge you and your friends. There is also challenge mode where when you complete challenges, you can unlock even MORE things in multiplayer, from guns to different devices used to your advantage. This is probly the most well-made game ever created.
PLEASE, do yourself a favor and buy this game, even if you havent played your N64 in years, go buy this game and hook it back up. You will not stop playing unless the older graphics annoy you. The graphics were top of the line when this game was released. I HIGHLY rate this game, go and buy it.

Besides its cousin Golden Eye, it is the best game for Nintendo 64. The makers at Rare have given rise to the best first-person shooter game ever. The AI in this game is unbelievable. The solo missions boggle the mind with their complexity and size. The multiplayer games are astounding and breath-taking. I couldn't believe how much they packed into this one game. The ability to save one's multiplayer character and statistics is amazing. Training in the Carrington Institute is a big help to ready yourself for the intelligent enemy one will encounter in the solo and multiplayer games. This is a game well worth investing your money and time into.
Perfect Dark: No N64 owner should be without it!

Perfect Dark is the best FPS I've seen on a console. With an awesome storyline and characters, Perfect Dark is a must have! The soundtrack and sund effects are excellent. The Combat Simulator (a.k.a Deathmatch) is the best feature for Perfect Dark. It's Counter-Operative and Co-Operative modes are spectacular! A must have for every Goldeneye fan! -Jonathan Garris, writer of Game Vault game page

Wow what can you say about this game except amazing in every category. You know this year(2004-05) is was all about what fresh innovations could a next gen 1st person shooter pull off.
Physics, story-telling, immersiveness(Half-life 2) or would it be multiplayer, dual-wielding, and stat keeping cough Halo 2. What the continually growing community neglegted to remember was that Perfect Dark did all of this back in the day. Yes dual weilding, stat keeping, bots in multiplayer, an immersive enviroment and variety of missions. Movable objects in enviroment. Yes folks Perfect Dark changed the FPS shooting genre forever. So recently I rented Star Wars Rebpublic Commando, don't get me wrong, but i played the game for two days and decided to play something else instead, so i dusted of my N64 and put in an old favorite, perfect dark. It had been a while since playing it back in 2000, and boy did i wish i had not stop playing. NOt only is the multiplayer as addicting as halo 2 but there is just so much to do. No friends, no problem, start hacking away at the challenges which at times can be well, quite challenging. Well theres so much to say about a game which has features which are still used in games today. HUngry for a remake, good news, over at half life 2 dot net, the mod community has begun remaking Perfect Dark, you can actually check out some gun models like the "far sight" which im sure the reloading would look pretty sweet on the source engine. Anyways just had to come on amazon to see if people were still recognizing this game for all of its greatness. Sure the new games have the graphics, but whatever happened to stunning game-play. Long live Perfect Dark, now back to the multiplayer. C-ya.
Excellent Title to Add to your Collection

This is a well done game. The game play is smooth, the weapons are a lot of fun, and the variety of game modes is really nice. Some of the maps are quite large, which makes for a lot of running around looking for other players to kill. I especially like the fact that the bots in this game come with different skill levels. The more advanced ones will definitely give you a run for your money. Switching weapons or using devices isn't always as smooth as I'd like it to be, but overall this a great game to add to your collection.
