Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360, 2005)

I personally really like this game. For those of you that are very used to Halo 2 there's a little bit of getting used to because the controls are not as fast or as tight for that matter. Also there's very little auto-aim but that's a good thing because it's going to push your skill a little more. The campaign mode is pretty fun, though it's not the best story I've come across. I recommend playing co-op, seems more fun when you have a friend playing with you anyways. The main part of this game has to be the multiplayer. If you got LiVE go on find a game and start fragging. You can go in alone or split screen with some friends. If you don't have LiVE or there aren't enought people online for some reason, you can always add bots (you can adjust their skill level as well) to fill in the gaps. The game has an awesome array of weapons to choose from, pretty much all have a modern design with cool secondary features so most of the weapons are fun to use. If you're an FPS fan you should play this game just for the multiplayer factor :)

RARE has always been so good. Why would they turn a classic like Perfect Dark into a cookie cutter shooter? It's not that the game doesn't have nice graphics or that the story isn't involving. It's not even the multiplayer. It's the shooting. Unless you can land a headshot every single time you will probably spend several shots on each enemy because it seems they all wear bullet proof clothing from head to toe. Taking cover is a cool concept when incorporated correctly but when an enemy can easily run up and melee you taking cover is worthless and pointless. There is no jump button. Instead there is a roll feature which can be frustrating to use since you cannot fire while rolling. The rest of the conrols are ok but don't expect smooth controls. Multiplayer can be fun but you will mostly be fighting against bots. It is also easy to get stuck in a match that is neverending and all of your play time would be worthless in the rankings system. This needs to be fixed. The respawn portals are a great idea though and jetpacks are also a lot of fun to mess around in. I don't recommend buying unless you are a hardcore fan but it may be worth the rental to see if you like it. 3.5/5

this game has been hyped and hyped and hyped for about, ohhh i dont know ever since the original perfect dark was relaesed. so with that said RARE games certainly did have alot to live up to.
i would say this is a standard 1st person shooter, but is not by any means mind blowing.
the thing i absolutley love about this game was the graphics. in my opinion the best on the 360, but thats just me.
the guns are ok. very standard. i hate the pistols, they are innacurate and dont fire very fast. and the super-dragon in multiplayer isnt even cool. its so much overpowered than the other weapons its not even funny.
the story mode is okay i woudlve enjoyed something less linear. and not to ruin it for anyone, but im going to just say that the final boss is the gayest boss ever in games history! ill leave it at that.
pick this up if you have xbxo live, but if you dont go buy call of duty 2. actually you need to get that game anyway. i prefer the orignal very much over this one , but this game is still solid.
graphics-10/10
gameplay-6.5/10
multiplayer-9/10
single player-7/10
overall-8.5
recomend-yes
ok that about sums it up! thanks for readin'!

There is nothing really ground breaking about this game. It sort of reminds me of James Bond: Agent Underfire when it first came out. Way too much hype, and Perfect Dark just didn't live up to it. Your movement is very blocky and not really user friendly. I played this for about 30 mins then got extreemly bored. Call of Duty is a lot better at this moment if your looking for a FPS for the 360.

Finally the long awaited sequel to the game i have spent more of my life on than any other. PERFECT dark indeed!!! Thanks for reading my opinion, and if you'ld like to check out my store, I am permitted by ebay to provide you a link here:

Really fun when playing with other people. Have good graphic, have many different guns and have a few vehicule.

I was disappointed with this game. The game is fun to play but I've played much better FPS before. I did not find the graphics nor the game play in this game to be that much special. Its an average FPS.

Perfect Dark Zero is perfect again.Memories of the n64 perfect dark are great but that was nothing in comparision with the xbox 360 Perfect Dark.Like most of the Xbox 360 game the online is fantastic.The one player game will have you playing for some time and the action never stops.

Personal review:
This game is great! The graphics are outstanding. Controls are typical FPS, minus the ability to "bunny hop" and irritate your on-line opponents, although you do have realistic dodge/dive moves (this is a plus). The weapon selection is good, although a few of the secondary weapon modes are very strange combinations - a shotgun with a radar function? It would have made more sense to add additional gadgetst to pickup and keep the weapons more logical ...

For new players, the ability to see waypoints and an on-screen arrow guiding you to your next task is a welcome addition. It will keep you from mindlessly wandering some of the larger boards.

Computer AI is decent - but this is definitely not a war strategy game, so don't expect too many coordinated attacks. The use of vehicles is great. The ability to use zip lines and slide down ladders makes moving around some of the boards a lot more fun. Basically, pick this game up NOW!

This game was much better than I expected it to be. The graphics on this game are outstanding, except some of the guns have a kind of cartoonish quality to them. One of my favorite features is the pressure-sensitive zoom. It's really great but sometimes a little hard to control. The graphics on the environment and humans are excellent, although sometimes a bit too glossy, almost like it is all made out of plastic. But overall, it is an excellent game that is one of the few that may actually be worth the money.

After playing Perfect Dark for 6 year, I saw this game and just said, "No way! They made another one!" and bought it. But this game is probably the most average game I've ever played. There's really not much appeal and not much to say.

The single player campaign is average. There is co op, which makes it better. The combat simulator is also just average. It no longer keeps track of stats. You still get to customize it completely and there's even more game types which is cool, but that's it.

My favorite game type is Onslaught. Basically, there are two teams. One is attacking, the other is defending. The attacking team gets to respawn, but can only use pistols. The defending team has to stay within a certain area, but can buy weapons at the beginning of the round. When the defending team is eliminated or the time is up, the teams switch. The winner is the one that defends the longest.

That's about all I can say. The game itself is fine, but there are too many other shooters to buy instead of this one. Fans of Perfect Dark can get into it, but otherwise, I'd suggest something else.

I'm a huge fan of the first PD. I was a little skeptical when I heard this was coming out, because some of the key designers of the original and Golden Eye 64 had left Rare. The single player mission was a complete disappointment. Some levels were really cool. Then other levels seamed like a complete moron had designed them. But despite this, they are forgiven because of the co-op in the campaigned. Which lets you sneak around with a friend and silently take out enemies, or bring in heavy hardware and go crazy.

Multi-player is just jaw dropping. 32 player combat. More modes than you can shake a stick at, and up to 15 A.I. bots in a match, WOW!!! Plus allot of weapons that can have up to 3 different functions. Rocket launchers w/ cameras on the warhead, a sniper rifle that lets you see through walls with x-ray vision. Even a weapon similar to that throwing disk in the predator movies makes an appearance.

Based on multi-player, and the fact that this game is pretty cheap now a days, I'm scoring this as GOOD.

I found this game to be a combination of other first person shooter games, but with a different cast of characters. Mainly, it seemed like a combination of Goldeneye and Wolfenstein 3D. The entire game had a James Bond feel to it and then, suddenly, the plot takes a huge jump and twists itself into the story behind Wolfenstein 3D. Suddenly, the main enemy is after a God-like power....so I was sort of disappointed in the plot of the game. The graphics were alright, some of the character models were a little cartoony and poorly done, but the scenes, background, weapons - they all looked good. The music was alright, but I definitely suggest turning it down or you'll strain yourself to hear the characters voices...which, you might not want to hear anyway, because they're all rather annoying. The voice acting clearly wasn't a focal point for this game. The controls were easy to use, mainly because every first person shooter adopts the same sort of controls. Anyone can learn the controls within moments. The game was also pretty short; it could have been beefed up way more. The replay value is fairly high, though, because you can have fun doing battle with one another. Playing online or with friends is fun and the options are pretty good. Solo mode, though, much doesn't change with the different levels of difficulty. One thing that was really obnoxious was how the AI moved. Over half of the enemies would shuffle back and forth and slide from side to side, making them a real pain to target and hit - I understand we're going for the element of realism, but I don't think soldiers would move like that in a shoot-out. I strongly feel that this game could have been beefed up in all areas. It's fun to play, but I think many will agree that more needs to be offered to make this title a hit for the 360.

If there is one thing that stands out about this game it is the graphics. The visuals in this game scream next-gen. The textures and lighting are all done very well, some things are a bit shiney but i like shiney! I caught myself just going around looking at things in the enviroment. The sound is also done well with alot of good original music throughout. The voices are good but some people may not care for the accents the NPCs have. They didnt bother me, they were kind of amusing. The gameplay is pretty solid and the guns are simply great looking and sounding. You will find your favorites and use them often. The single player levels are designed to be replayed over and over again using new unlockable weapons to archive your best scores and there is also Co-op so your friends can play along and some addictive online gameplay too. Overall PDZ is a good shooter even if the AI is somewhat predictable. I really enjoyed my time with this game and i give it my recommendation. I'm definately looking forward to the next Perfect Dark game, I just hope they make the enemies more intelligent.

Well, if you are expecting a one of a kind type of FPS, this game is not for you. Although it is still a pretty good game, it is just your normal type of shooter. The graphics are pretty decent, and the controls are quite good. I wouldn't pay full price for this game, so i recomend trying to find it here on eBay.

Perfect Dark Zero is a solid game at best. When I started the game I was literally amazed at the beautiful graphics, but after I continued to play the game, I found it to become increasingly boring. As I said before the graphics are spectacular, the audio is good, and the game controls are o.k. The problem I had was that the game's storyline was so beyond weak I just lost interest in the game. Playing this game over Xbox Live can be a chore too. Often times I had trouble connecting to a game online, and then when I did get into a game it was usually just one or two people and 6 bots (computer generated characters). The single player missions were o.k. although it was frustrating not knowing where to go. I mean the game is so vague on what and where you are supposed to go it generates arrows on the ground to take you in the right direction. I don't want to come accross as bashing this game, I just think it is a solid title that you may want to rent before buying.

this game is very fun and a great game for adults. the only problem is that it is too slow. even though i love first person shooters the game goes really slow. also the game is great becuase its has one of the best online games. if you have a 360 i recomend you get this great xbox 360 game

First of all, This is a First Person Shooter, and it is NOT Halo, nor Halo 2.

Graphics 9/10
This game has great graphics, visual effects, such as explosions, flash grenades and Smoke, are simply Perfect.

Sound 8/10
The music is not bad, but it could be better, the sounds of the weapons are great, the shotgun sounds like a shotgun, not like a random fire arm.

Gameplay 9/10
This game is different, this is not a run and shoot (at least at higher difficulties) it's really tactical.
The weapons are different, and most of it are balanced.

Replayability 10/10
This part is Divided in two, with xbox live and without xbox live.
I give a 10 if you have xbox live, because of the matchmaking, it's almost lag free.
If you don't have xbox live I give it a 8, because when you finish the Single Player the game gets old, but the multiplayer, with BOTS (AI controlled players)makes this game replayable.

Overall 9/10 (not an average)

Game can be frustrating and slow, at first. It seems to get more exciting as you progress through the levels. It can become addictive. I was up until 3:00 am playing last night. The graphics will blow your mind. GET IT.

This game wasn't as good as I expected. It doesn't have Nex-Gen graphics, I bet this game could be ported to XBOX 1 without a problem, lets hope they create a sequel to zero.
