Perfect Dark is the best First Person Shooter EVER!

And this, Snowboard Kids 2, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye 007, Wave Race 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Pokemon Stadium and Mario 64 (even though I've overplayed the latter three) are worth owning a N64 again for. Even if you have to buy it used from somewhere.

Let me start off by saying that this game is so fun. And I mean it's exceedingly fun. Even alone. You play as a character named Joanna Dark. The one-player mode, although I've only played it once since I re-bought the game, is pretty solid. You have a few select objectives to pull off on each and every mission. It gets harder as you go along. The music is solid and memorable, but the graphics aren't great. They're slightly above average at best for the N64.

But the game shines in its Combat Simulator mode. It is a mode where you make your way through over 25 missions, completing random objectives from Uploading a terminal with a Data Uplink, to King Of The Hill (which pits you against one or more "bots" to take on a challenge that has you having to stay in a certain spot for 20 or so seconds, claiming that it's yours. If you do so, while the enemy stays away, you get the point, and move on to the next "Hill") to my favorite, Capture the case. Capture the case is a mission where you must go to your opponent's hideout and get their little case, bring it back to your hideout, and make it back to your own case. However, if the enemy has already made it to your case before you get back, you must chase them down, which is hella fun, in order for your case to return to its original spot. There are more missions such as just killing your opponent 10 times or holding onto a briefcase for as long as you can.

Lastly, I'm going to list all the weapons, which are mostly guns, in the game. I'll also list my top 5 favorites and explain their functions.

Falcon
Mag-Sec
Mauler
Phoenix
DY357 Magnum
DY357-LX Magnum (gold)
CMP150
Cyclone
Callisto
RC-P120 (don't have this gun yet, don't remember it either)
Laptop Gun
Dragon
K7 Avenger
AR34
S-Dragon (don't have or remember this one either)
Sniper Rifle
Reaper
Farsight
Shotgun
Devastator
Rocket Launcher
Crossbow
Slayer

#1 Slayer - launches missles just like a regular rocket launcher. However, it has a twist. Although you must stand totally still while using its Fly-By-Wire feature, you get to actually follow the bullet as you search for someone to kill!! Talk about innovative! Go, RARE!
#2 Laptop Gun - An extraordinary gun that performs fast shooting bullets in its normal use. However, if you throw it on the ground or onto a random wall, the next time someone comes within its sight, they get shot at. It will use all its bullets if it must!
#3 Dragon - Acts as an ordinary gun that shoots speedy bullets on its initial function, comes alive as a grenade launcher on its second.
#4 Cyclone - One bad as hell gun. It's very, VERY fast, and its second function lets you empty out 50 bullets, one right after the other at a blazing speed, ensuring a better chance at killing a weary opponent.
#5 AR34 - A fast gun, but when compared to some of my other favorites, it just doesn't measure up. Has a very close-up scope function.

Worst. Gun. Ever.

Reaper.

Pros:

*Graphics are manageable, but nothing special.
*Sound is pretty cool. It has a decent range of types of music.
*Lots of missions to keep a single player busy, while not around friends.
*Decent realism when you get killed, falling to the ground. Maybe a bit slow, but decent nonetheless.
*Up to 4 players, which is pure pandemonium!
*Different personalities for bots keep the gameplay interesting.

Cons:

*Starts off pitifully easy, gets painfully impossible somewhat towards the end. Some missions come down to luck, when you're actually revived after a death near a helpful weapon.
*Graphics aren't anything to scream about.
*AI is extremely cheap on some missions where there are expert bots.
*At some point, for about 90% of the people who play this, your blood will be boiling at how impossible this game can really seem.

Overall, this is the best First Person Shooter that I've ever played (think Goldeneye 007, and then improve it in almost every way), and one of the best and most complete experiences I've ever had. The only real letdown is the insane AI as you move on.
This game has kept me sane on days where I'm usually bored.

While not perfect, it has very few shortcomings so I'm giving it a perfect 5. I hope you enjoy it at least half as much as I did, for that will surely be saying something!

More like Goldeneye 1.2

I bought and ejoyed Goldeneye immensely. So, when I heard Perfect Dark was coming out, I was pumped; but, as I do with most games, I rented it first. Well, Guess what: I beat it in a weekend rental, easily. That's the main problem: if you're a Goldeneye vet, which basically everyone is, then its too easy. Really, if you think about it, all Perfect Dark is is Goldeneye with more levels, and some bells and whistles, such as new weapons, enemies, etc. I will say I enjoyed playing PD, but it didn't last. At first, it was like "Woh! Cool!" But the problem is that it's too much like Goldeneye. If you played and loved Goldeneye, then there really isn't very much new stuff in this game. Not to say this is a bad game: like goldeneye, technically its a very good game, but I felt it was more like an expansion pack to Goldeneye then a new game. Rare, do something original! Goldeneye was great and original, and so was Donkey Kong and Killer Instinct. But stop with the cheap spinoffs! We know you can do better.

Must Have

If you liked Goldeneye 007 then you'll love this one, it's better in every way. Great single player game, but best when played with one or more friends. More weapons, more levels, more characters to select from, the list of improvements is too long to list. The only down side is that things do start to slow down if you have a lot of computer opponents and a couple friends all playing at the same time.

GReat game

Great game. Stunning graphics and guns, and challenging. The only flaw i would say is the fact that numerous levels are almost exactly the same as Goldenye 007. I would buy it.

...junk! I thought I could really expect better from the people at Nintendo, but in the end they just completely let me down. This game is horrible, first of all its just a simple rip off of 007 Goldeneye and not a good one at that too. A lot of the multiplayer levels and actual levels are just cheesy recreations of the original Goldeneye sets. The sound is bad the graphics horrible, and if you don't even own an expansion pack (that is another $20 down the tube to nintendo) you got a big one pulled on you. I would return this garbage but I ordered it used for like 16 bucks. Thinking about it now I probably wouldn't have paid $0.02[American] for it

James Bond sucks compared to Agent Dark! She's the best spy in the world! This game is so hot that it would literally take you about an hour to read my review! The missions, multiplayer, and challenges are awesome! I haven't beaten the game and I have about 50 weapons already! There are about 50 characters to choose from! YOU MUST GET THIS GAME OR I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE WITH AGENT DARK AND SHOOT YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT!

I thisnk that this game was just an ok game. it was like Goldeneye except it has more levles and more guns. Actully the only think i like about the game is you can play on teams with freiends agenst computers. they took away all of the cool carters you could pick from too. what they just need to do is make a NEW JAMES BOND GAME..................
