When I first turned on this game I was surprised! The graphics where awesome! Real time lighting(thats where if you shoot a light it actually turns off, affecting the light source in the room), the enemy reacts to your actions. The single player combat simulator is so sweet! You can go up to 8 sims at once! And in multiplayer its the same but ever more fun. All the guns are a hoot! There is a gun similar to the 'Golden Gun' in Goldeneye, its call the 'DY357 Magnum LX', it has a one hit kill. The detail is very very very very very good. My fav part of the game is the firing range in Carrington Institute. All the classics from Goldeneye are in the game BUT you have to unlock them in the firing range! There are elevators and escalators! If you've ever played the jungle in goldeneye at night with all the lights out in the room, well the Skedar Ruins are worse, you can acually hear the Skedar growling as if they are right behind you and sometimes they are! The thing I really like about all the guns is that every gun (excluding classics) have a second function! So if your a big goldeneye fan then you'll LOVE Perfect Dark. Out of a scale of 10 I give this game a 10. So stop reading this and go and by it already!

I've never played a better multiplayer game within my entire life. I own an xbox, a 360, a Wii and a Gamecube and despite all the games I've played online through xbox live none have come close to beating the multiplayer on this game (which doesn't go online!!). I'm sorry to say this but there simply is no multiplayer better than this game can provide. The game has better weapons (not to mention a lot, a lot more of them) than any other game out there. Yea the graphics aren't as good as some 360 games but it as any gamer knows, it doesn't matter when the game is good. It is my ARCHETYPE of a PERFECT multiplayer game. You can play Multiplayer in Slow-Motion (why other games haven't thought of this I truly don't know!?!?) and if you get tired of it YOU CAN USE an item to SWITCH it off in the MIDDLE of the game!! In addition I can't think of another game where you can actually stick remote mines on another player's body!! Nor can I think of another shooting game that featured so many different guns (not just repeat guns either), OR a game that had so many guns with multiple modes. (yes grenade-launcher/machine guns, multiple firing-pattern guns, Knifes for throwing/hunting and Fly-by-wire rocket launchers just to name a few) In addition it also has "challenges" that are Multiplayer and SinglePlayer, yea you heard me MULTIPLAYER which will keep you busy for days alone! It also features CO-OP play throughout the entire campaign as well as an innovative Dark-Ops mode throughout the entire campaign where you essentially play from the "bad-guys" perspective. It's kept me up countless nights even though it's years old. Outdated, yea right!! It should be the future.
PS: Don't judge this game using its horrible sequel Perfect Dark Zero because the only thing the two games share is the character names. The gameplay is totally, repeat TOTALLY different as is the quality. The sequel isn't even a quarter the original! If you think I'm wrong, buy it because not only is it the best, it's cheap. You could buy a Nintendo 64 and the game for less than one supposedly-great online-multiplayer xbox 360 game. I seriously hope a game designer reads this review as well as the many others one day because he'd make millions.

This game is superior to GoldenEye in every way. That says a lot, because GoldenEye is one of the greatest N64 games ever. Having said that, in this game, you control Joanna Dark, a secret agent who has been sent to infiltrate DataDyne Corporation, because they have been suspected of conspiracy. It turns out that they are collaboration with a hostile alien race. The Skeddars are giving them technology, and in return, DataDyne is cloning a skeddar in the form of the American President. You use great guns (all hail the Slayer), cool gadgets (I love the Spy series), and play in cool missions (one of which takes place in my home of Chicago, and one onboard Air Force One). If you like first person shooters, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

The single player part of this game is a bit short and the multiplayer is where this game excels.

the game supposed to be a sequal to goldeneye007. It has a lady named Joanna Dark replacing Bond and over 40 spectacular weopons. You can play against acomputer in multi play with a friend in solo missions and the levels have hard objectives and awesome animation this a sure buyer for people who like violence and shooting games
Uh... It's been done.

Okay, perfect dark has the greatest graphics this machine has ever seen, and it's without doubt the greatest game on 64... if you haven't played goldeneye before. And lets face it who hasn't? You would be mad to spend all your pennies on a 64 and then leave a copy of goldeneye to your local gaming emporium. I, and most people I know, played goldeneye for about 30 hours within the first weekend of getting it, but because of that - perfect dark is just too easy and a little boring... No no no, like I said it's fun, and the multiplayer bots is a huge step forward but... after years of hype rare left me feeling a little empty, and the latter missions are purely 100% Turok 2 clones, the plot is poor and the carrington institute is a HUGE letdown: There is nothing to do! Remember how hard those cheats were in goldeneye? Do you remember the satisfaction you got after you made The Archives in OO agent at 1:19 minutes after spending the last 4 hours trying to break 1:20? Well you won't be finding any of that here, most of the cheats you get for just "finishing" the missions, no time limit no nothing. Pffffft. This game was just about my only purpose for keeping my 64 instead of trading it in, nintendo just keep letting me down. In a few words: Perfect Dark - A "fun" game that will provide you with a good 15 - 20 hours before you finally realise you've just payed $... for a sticker that fits perfectly over your goldeneye cartridge.

The best fsg in the world. Lots of missions on different difficulties will make you play this game over and over. Multiplayer is way more advanced than goldeneye which makes it easier to setup and more extras for multiplayer to. So go buy this game it is a must.

Perfect Dark is a superior and I agree with one of the reviewers...ERRRR...It...Does beat halo..I can't believe I said that. This game had brilliant well made graphics of its time.
The weapons are superb.
It has over 40 weapons! Innovative Counter-Op Mode!
You play as this Hot spy named Joanna Dark...And boy this woman dark as she hides and go seeks aiming for what her missions are and completeng them when told.
You shoot through walls, Guid Rockets by remote and cloak yourself to slip by unnoticed...Thats awesome...
This game Got a 9.9 out of 10 from Gamespot...thats a pretty hard game site to get a 10...This game almost pulled it through...It is a pain with the Expansion Pak...It costs alot...Well it did when I baught it, which was about the time the game came out...
It is Hands Down The Best N64 game you can find....Get this masterpiece and play it for all it's worth....It's also a very hard game too...Well I found it hard...But over all it's one hell of a ride...
It's very fun and innovative...It has a flavor that not alot of FPS have..I think this game ranks up with Half life...God I wish Nintendo made a remake out of this...Rare is very good at what it does...Like...Which I also thought was the best video game ever made, Conkers BFD..That had some flavor in it...I hope Rare keeps it up and I Really wanna see how Perfect Dark ZERO does On the Xbox
The visuals Are superb, Great Controlls, brilliant story and awesome multiplayer makes me give this N64 Classic a
5 out of 5 stars! This is one of the best N64 games next to
Conkers BFD and Loz Ocarina of time
