People asked for a predecessor to bond, they gave us perfect dark. This game blows all other shooters out of the water in graphics and gameplay. You can do solo missions or go at the same missions with a friend in co-op and counter-op. Another great feature is the challenges. These are little missions that you play against computer sims. They become quite challenging after a while. By beating these you can earn new sims to use, earn new levels for deathmatches, and earn new weapons sets. Another great feature is the carington institute. Here you can test out gadgets and get famliar with all of the guns you have seen. If you buy and game, make it this one. Its worth it

The multi player mode alone is worth the purchase!

I can now laugh at Goldeneye's multi player. It's nothing compared to Perfect Dark's.

Do what I did, invite for of your best friends over, add EIGHT simulants, set your options, and have fun. We must have sat there and played for at lest two hours straight, took a quick break, and then went right back at it.

This game is not overhyped at all, don't listen to those who say it is, once you play it for yourself, you'll agree with me.

In conclusion, Perfect Dark is about ten times better than Goldeneye. In graphics, multi player, single player, sound, and weaponery. This is a must buy for any Nintendo 64 owner, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if it won Game of the Year.

Exceeds the expectations

This is from the same people that brought us Goldeneye, and they've done it again! This has to be one of the best N64 games out there at the moment.

Perfect Dark is a great and exicting game, people who like action will love this game. It's a lot like Goldeneye 64, but a lot more advanced weaponary. The best part is that if you beat the game on Perfect agent (the hardest setting), and the missions are getting old, you can do the combat simulator which has meat sims (easiest) to special sims. I really like this game.

A perfect name for the perfect game.

Incredible. Vivid grafix. Great AI. A multitude of weapons. One of my favorites. If you liked Goldeneye you'll like this-it uses the same engine.

My review is short and sweet. I have played the game countless hours and have had loads of fun. The game is the greatest creation of a video game I have ever seen. No game will ever come close to beating it. Just go and buy it and see for yourself!

Best Multiplayer Game for 64

In my opinion Perfect Dark is the best multiplayer game for the Nintendo 64. The regular game is pretty good and can be a challenge to get through on all difficulty levels. Also you can go through the game with 2 players (dont recall if you can change difficulty levels with 2 players or not). The ability to add 'sims' just adds more fun to the game. The different level difficulties for sims can get very interesting when playing with 4 players against all (i think you can add up to 8) sims. The ability to change teams and put each character on a different team or the same team is another great thing.
Overall: Even for a VG player like me that normally doesn't like these kinds of games, it becomes fun and challenging. Easy to stay up all night playing with friends and family.

Perfect Dark is the all time best first person shooter for N64. it has awsome gameplay. the graphics are good... not great. and the only problem is on multi-player. if you hav a bunch or people playing it gets really fuzzy and slow. i highly suggest buying this game if you like 1st-P Shooters.

Best game forr the N64

This game is better than Goldeneye. Perfect Dark uses some of the multiplayer levels that Goldeneye has and adds a few bonuses to each one of them. For example, did you know that you could jump through the big hole in the center of the main room in the temple? Well, you can in Perfect Dark. Do you want to know more? Well, you're gonna have to just buy the game to find out.

If you read my review of Rainbow Six on Dreamcast, you may remember me saying how it was a huge downer. You also may remember me saying to "skip R6 and go immediately to Perfect Dark". So now, I'm reviewing Perfect Dark. This is the best reason to have an N64. First off, the graphics are really good. After Conker's Bad Fur Day, this game most likely has the best N64 graphics. The frame rate is smooth and ultimately, very playable for the 1-player and multiplayer modes. The characters in the cinemas don't move their mouths at all, but so what? Their faces are usually looking at another character or somewhere that the player can't see. The sounds are also very good here. Very realistic sound effects for the guns and other objects and weapons are helpful for creating the perfect mood. But the best parts about the sound are the voices and the foot-step noises. When you walk, you hear your feet moving along any terrain you are on, whether it's snow, carpet, chain link floors or ladders and they match the speed you are moving at. The voices also are very well done. Usually, voices in games are so melodramatic or silly and unserious that they make you hate the characters or wish you were back in the day when voices didn't exist in games. But here, the voices suit the characters so well and they are so serious that they make you care about these characters. You'll feel bad when Cassandra De Vries gets her comeuppance, when you fail a mission resulting in Elvis's (the alien of course)or Daniel Carrington's death, and you'll shed a few tears when Dr. Carrol make his incredibly noble decision late in the game. Another good point is the story. It reminds me of Goldeneye meets The X-Files and it's like watching a movie. And like a good flick, it keeps you engrossed and enthralled until the end. All these points I made are good, but how does the game handle? Even better then Goldeneye did. If you've played Goldeneye before, you'll feel right at home with Perfect Dark. I'm not kidding, I had the controls down the moment I started moving around. Even if you didn't play Goldeneye, you'll still get into this game with relative ease. Plus, the new control methods (like the pop-up weapon menu and simulant command menu) are easy to learn. The best part about this game though, is the mutilplayer mode. There are so many options to choose from and you can play the game however you want to. Along with four human players, you can add up to 8 computer controled characters known as simulants, and again, you can edit anything you want to with these guys. Want to mix body and head types to make for a funny looking character, human or simulant? You can do it. Want to make enemies so skilled that they exceed the performance of real humans? You can do it. One thing though: make sure you get an Expansion Pak (sold seperately)with the game, cause you'll need it to play 3 and 4 player and 1 player story mode. If you have an N64, you must buy this game. You'll love it.

Parents Note: As good as this game is, it's not for the kiddies. It contains strong language and lots of blood, so it earns its Mature rating (ages 17 and up). But if your kids are too young for this game and they still want to play it, try Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough instead. They're less violent then Perfect Dark, but still be aware of their Teen ratings (ages 13 and up). If your kids are still too young for any of these games, let them play Banjo-Tooie. There's a segment in the game that plays out a lot like Perfect Dark, albeit much less violent with its Everyone rating (ages 6 and up), and you can still play it mutiplayer. But even if your old enough to play Perfect Dark, give all the games I mentioned a try (Goldeneye, The World Is Not Enough, Banjo-Tooie). But back to the main point: Perfect Dark is a classic!
