I have a rather large collection of N64 games, and still play them. This is one of those games that, even with the breadth of first person shooters available today, still stands out on it's own. Improving on the Golden Eye engine, you're given plenty of imaginative weapons to work with, from the Farsight gun that shoots through walls, to machine gun that allows you to cloak yourself, there's plenty of toys to go around.

The one player campaign is filled with replay value, especially with co-op and "counter-agent" options, allowing another player to either play a mission with or against you. Same format from Golden Eye exists here: easy, medium and hard difficulty levels with rewards for completing each.

The multiplayer does suffer a bit in terms of graphics, but the fact that you have so many options, from adding simulants, to changing the format of the game (team mode, death match, capture the flag, etc.), to customizing your level weapons, makes up for this.

Wisely, Rare placed some unlockable features from the Goldeneye games, including guns and multiplayer levels. Other secrets include hidden levels, cheats, etc.

In short, this has to be high on the "must" list for anyone who still plays N64 games.

For the sake of parents buying this for children, I will note there is some occasional cussing (guards sometimes yell "what the h***" when they see you), but this can be turned off on the options screen. Animated blood can also be turned off. By and large this is incredibly tame compared to what passes for "M" rated now, but it should be noted.

perfect challange yet!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect fun!!!!!!!!

This game is the only reason I purchased a Nintendo 64. This game has everything, from aliens to semi-automatic rifles. The number of weapons is unimaginable, and you can NEVER run out of things to do in this game. only 40% of the game is accessible without an expansion pak, but even that is better than most games!

Perfect Dark should be called Perfect Light instead

Perfect Dark
This game has been on my review and to get list for a long long time. I finally got my hands on it for $3. I'll say it right now, this game I believe is superior to the evolutional game Golden eye. Some people may argue with this fact but I still think it is better. The single player missions are a delight to play.
They have wide ranges of objectives like blowing up satellites to rescuing aliens. The enemy's AI is amazing for it's time. The AI is strong and makes you think in certain situations. The story is great also which I will not reveal. The amazing detail and creativity of the guns in this game also blows my mind with the wide variety and selection of arms. When you play this game you realize how many other games stole parts of it. This game is truly original.

The graphics are also surprisingly great for it's time and is even good now. Now to move on to a few cool features. This game has co-op! Yeah you heard me right. The co-op is wonderful and you will have to count on your friend to help you out and if he messes up an objective you will end up slapping him in the face! The game even has I believe the only counter-co-op mode. Where your teammate is a bad guy and tries's to stop you which is also an amazing feature. The challenge mode is also a joy to play to unlock guns and maps. You can even create your own character!! How awesome is that?! The multiplayer is the main and best feature in this game. There are so many guns, maps, and modes you will probably never get bored as long as you have friends to play the game with. They even keep track of all your stats for all you people obsessed with stats (me). This game is truly great in almost every way. As I said before I prefer this over golden eye because it has more blood and a more mature theme. There are only 2 problems. When you die and re-spawn you will have blurry vision if some one hit you before you died. Then the biggest problem is there is some slow down at some parts of the game. Overall I give this game a near perfect 9.5/10

Score: 9.5/10

Perfect Dark- the futuristic Goldeneye

I rented Parfect Dark the other day, and I thought it was great. With the expansion pack, it made it even better. I compares a lot to Goldeneye, so if you liked goldeneye, you should just love this. The other thing that I like about this game is that the bad guys are smarter and act better- like in Goldeneye, when you shoot a guy in the leg, he'll grab it for a while, and then just start running back at you. But Perfect Dark makes the guy limp for longer. The levels are really fun, too. It's not just going through a level, shooting a million people and then beating the level, there's a lot of objectives to complete. There are a lot of levels, including area 51, out on this beach place, etc. This game is a must-buy. You'll love this game. It was rated mature because of the gore and blood. There are so many things to do. This game should be for 11+, not 17+.

So much to cover

Just as the last epic spy game from rare, this one has the giant plot/gameplay ability. From gorgous looking boards to your james bond favorites, to the new and old weapons this game is phenomenal

Perfect Dark is Perfect

I've had Perfect Dark for five day's now. My brother and I play every time we can. It is so cool wasting the sims, which you can set at different diffuculty levels. It's awesome. It's diffenatly worth every penny.

This game rocks!

If you liked Goldeneye, then you won't be able to stop playing Perfect Dark. As soon as I got it I started playing, and it took me about five hours to get tired of playing. I already had an Expansion Pack, so that worked out well. The game has much better enemies than 007 did, and they are actually semi-worthy opponents. The multiplayer functions are the best, and you can choose all of your weapons, level, scenario, and even an assortment of simulants, or computer controlled opponents that can also be your allies. This is the best feature of all, because you can kill them instead of whomever you are playing with, which, if they are very serious gamers like my brother, will often make them kind of angry at you. You can also create your own players, and save their statistics every time you play. The simulants range from "Meat" which just run around and pretty much let you kill them (it's great to put these guys on teams together with explosives because they are so stupid they just kill themselves) to "PerfectSims" that you realy don't want to tangle with unless you know what you are doing. These latter are superb killers, and only luck can save you. The game is better than 007 in many ways, such as when you reload, you are actually snapping in a new clip or loading some fresh shells, but if you have something like a shotgun, where you must load each shell one at a time, it is easy to be killed while reloading. There are also classic 007 weapons in it, and 007 levels. I highly recommend this game.

Goldeneye is now obsolete

This game is the ultimate in gaming. I have never seen a game so seamless. The Story is great and the action is excellent. Once I was done with the story mode, I became addicted to the challenges and multiplayer options that became available by completing them . DONT PASS THIS UP! Put down your copy of goldeneye youve been playing for 3 years and buy Perfect Dark!
