![]() When you start the game in story mode, there is a training mission (Level 0). Learning how the game works is fairly easy. Knowing almost nothing about modern video games at the time. This is the first game we purchased when we bought our Xbox 360. As long as you are not expecting Halo or Gears, then you should give this game a low risk shot. Overall, this is a fun game, not a great game by any means, but still fun for the price, good value. The music is mostly techno, but it fits the game and isn't bad, ultra repetitive techno like some sci fi shooters on the market. You are required to do some sneaking from time to time around which isn't bad, but not as fun as run and gun portions of the missions. Some very cool gadgets to use during missions help vary the gameplay. The cut scenes are pretty lame in all honesty, but they're short and inconsequential. But this doesn't happen too much, so it doesn't hinder the gameplay. Sometimes you walk right up to an enemies face without being recognized, sometimes they see you without seeing you it seems. The people in the game kind of look like the character models in Crackdown actually. Joanna Dark's character animation is spectacular, but some of the enemies don't look as well as she does. But don't be fooled, this a solid game and worth your money, especially now for 5 to 10 bucks. I rememmber when the 360 launched and Perfect Dark Zero was one of the launch titles, many of my friends were very let down, mostly because of how much they fondly remebered the first one for the 64, also because it wasn't quite what people expected from the next generation. Underrated FPS for sure, bargain for cheap price! I don't recommend buying unless you are a hardcore fan but it may be worth the rental to see if you like it. The respawn portals are a great idea though and jetpacks are also a lot of fun to mess around in. 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. Multiplayer can be fun but you will mostly be fighting against bots. The rest of the conrols are ok but don't expect smooth controls. Instead there is a roll feature which can be frustrating to use since you cannot fire while rolling. ![]() 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. 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. 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. In addition to its story-driven single-player mode, as Xbox aficionados and fans of the series might expect, Perfect Dark Zero features a variety of cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, including split-screen shooting for up to four, and online action through the Xbox Live subscription service, capable of hosting more than 50 human players in a single map. Gamers are challenged to guide Joanna through training as a rookie operative, and help her earn the "perfect" test scores that inspired her ominous nickname.The earlier setting should not imply that all has been said and done, however while the game's storyline may answer old questions about Joanna and her background, it also poses plenty of new questions of its own. As the title implies, this game is a prequel to the N64 game, set before the original's twisted story of corporate conspiracy. Joanna Dark, that Rare heroine who raised the bar for console shooters with her near-perfect 2000 debut on Nintendo 64, returns to her past with new purpose (and on a new platform), in this 2005 launch title for the Xbox 360. ![]()
