Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

...games is the long awaited Perfect Dark Zero. Joanna Dark, the perfect secret agent working for the company Carrington Institute is back. However, she actually isn't quite as perfect this time around, as the new game, 'Perfect Dark Zero', takes place 4 years before the original, making this a prequel. Perfect Dark 64 for the Nintendo 64 arrived in 2000, following the same game engine as Goldeneye 007, also produced by the British gaming company Rareware. ...
...on agent, secret agent of perfect agent (easy, standard, hard). On each setting, the enemies become cleverer (or dumber, if you chose "agent"). Also, new mission objectives become apparent on the harder settings, but I can't say I was too impressed with this overall. On the original, the mission objectives were stated nicely on the pause menu so you could keep track, things seem a bit messy and all over this time around. Objectives can range from ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

...I didn't play the previous Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64, so I cannot compare this version to any of its predecessors. I popped the game into my console on December 2nd to be greeted by high octane dance music as the introduction played through, after setting up a profile (If I remember it was literally selecting a save point) we were under way in the Single Player campaign. The graphics were very crisp, clear and vibrant thanks to the games ...
...praise to Rare (Creators of Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong), they did a wonderful job on the textures in this game. Bricks stood off the wall, Icicles glistened in the light, each rock had its own individual dips and cracks, Nightclub lights dripped the world in neon colours. As I began the initial training level I noticed the game's beautifully crafted sound's. Shots flew beside my hide, machinery and lasers filled the background ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

Ah Perfect Dark. One of the all time greats. Perfect Dark Zero does not live up to that name. But let's not get biased here. What I'm asking you to do is forget that this is a sequel. Take it as a stand alone game. That way, you won't be quite so disappointed if you loved the original. You play Jo Dark (you'll have to check me on the spelling), an agent. You have the usual job of using gadgetry, weaponry and cunning to take on the opposition and ...
...is a little shoddy. It's hard to get the right sensitivity with the analogue stick so that you can aim without over shooting the mark. Took some fiddling but I got it play able. Unfortunately, this game has the most accurate crosshair I've seen. A head shot is a head shot. I say unfortunately, because the aiming in general is hard. You have a vast array of cool weapons and gizmos, ranging from demolition packs for removing those pesky walls, to ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

Perfect dark zero was one of the long awaited launch games for the XBOX 360. For me I got it in my bundle of games with the console itself. Its available in normal and collectors edition. However the collectors edition is still available which I find pointless as these things are suppose to be limited? Hence the title, limited collectors edition. You play the role of a secret operative woman under the name of Joanna Dark. Set in the future, you will ...
...futuristic fighting. The game includes a complete campaign that is available in three difficulty and levels and is also co-operative if you have a mate round. There is also the online version of the game includiing deathmatchs and scalable maps. A range of high score boards are also included so you know how low you rank against the thousands of other people in the world. When it comes to the graphics and sound I can definitely say they are excellent. ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

PERFECT DARK ZERO - XBOX 360 As far as being a beginner at the shooter type of games goes i am quite impressed with this game from a beginners point of view. I understand that for people that play these kind of games all the time it maybe a little bit of a disapointment but i really was quite impressed with this game. The story line was really exciting and the ease of play is really quite easy and it wasnt long before i ound myself absolutly hooked! ...
...it took me in the region of about 7 hours to complete but it was a 7 hour fix of complete concentration on the attractive graphics and the enslaught of bullets and bad guys with little puzzles and different gadgets to use. Some of the game is maybe a little bit exageratted but thats what these games are all about. I only paid around £10 for this game and it was the limited collectors edition which comes with a dvd, special issue comic book and a ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

I got Perfect Dark Zero from my cousin hoping to get some achievements. He said it was a bad game, but I just wanted some achievements. Really, he was right, it was a bad game, I didn't even finish half of the game it was so uniteresting and boring to play. You are a mercenary that takes place on a bunch of boring missions that no one will get or care about because you can't connect the characters at all. The controls were as simple as a first person ...
...The graphics are really outdated, they were very basic textures and models. But i will admit that the reload animations are actually awesome and fluid, but those are the only animations that are. The multiplayer is very bad, you can't get a kill on anyone unless your an addict, even if you use as cheap weapon like a rocket launcher. The maps that I played on are so large that it takes like five minutes of the game actually getting to the people, ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

...to that of the original Perfect Dark or even Goldeneye may be disappointed. It is still a worthy shooter, with lots of weapons to use and good multiplayer opportunities. The Co-op especially is well thought out for some levels, one level positions a player on street level whilst the other is up high on the roof tops covering the first with a sniper rifle. My main objection to the game is its cartoony feel which I wasn't really expecting after the ...
...a foe on the N64 it felt realistic, now it is less so as they kind of fall prey to the rag doll effects that are so next generation. It is still a worthy shooter on a budget price but those expecting Perfect Dark are going to be disappointed. ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

Perfect Dark Zero is a near-future first-person shooter and is the long-awaited sequel to a highly acclaimed Nintendo 64 hit perfect dark. The games stunning presentation, assortment of believable weapons, fast paced tactical firefights and complete single and multiplayer elements combine to make a solid and immersive first person shooter. Even though this was one of the 360's launch titles it still has the shine and the merits to be a worthy title ...
...game has to offer. Perfect Dark zeros pure shooter action and tactical strategy is supported by a well balanced health system, it is similar to Halo 2's shield system and lets you receive a decent amount of damage but leaves you with the feeling of being vulnerable. when you start to take damage from a foe each successive hit reduces the health bar by a certain degree but should the action pause for a few moments you health returns somewhat, but ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

...theres gonna be moments in perfect dark zero thats gonna make you wince. Not that it doesnt have production values-theres been a lot of effort put into the games looks,sometimes beautifull,sometimes drab.It has some great textures,cobbles, wet walls, shiny concrete-the game has these done with ease. There are some great views on offer too ,with the gargantuan scale of the space rocket resting on the trinity launch platform and the african bridge ...
...series of indoor waterfalls in a nightclub,which all look great in high-def and standard. But while there are sights for sore eyes,there are also some really plain scenery with ugly player models and enviroments that are samey, just very shiney. Theres also an issue with losing your way, if it wasnt for your new best friend which is a blue arrow on the floor telling you where to go then it will be confusing. The opening levels are by far the best ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

I am not normally a fan of this Genre of game but on seeing the graphics in all of the previews of this game I thought it was a must have. I opted for the 2 disc metal tin version of the game and received a lot of extras on the second disc. Looking back at the price it was expensive but prices have now dropped which make this a reasonable priced purchase. The acheivments are really hard on this game, the majority require lots of online gameplay ...
...the people that shoot you in the head all the time. There are not enough beginner style rooms to hone your skills before you play with the big boys, or girls.... Graphics are amazing, very fluid with minimal buginess. Another game that shows off High defenition gaming at its best. ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

This is a classic, timeless game! The online play is great and you just don't seem to get bored of it. Also the two extra downloadable map packs are really good too! Normally the extras aren't that good, but in this case it is very good. This game is very good for playing with your friends and if you're not half bad at it then you will make friends. It's also quite easy to get good on, all you have to do is complete all the achievements and DONE ...
...chance of killing anyone! There's a downside to this great game though, the offline story mode is, in my opinion fairly poor! If you have Xbox Live this doesn't matter at all but if you just play games offline then this game isn't great for you. Otherwise buy this game and it's also quite cheap! ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

If you're looking for a game to play over xbox live with lots of other people, then this could be the game for you. There's always people online waiting to play the numerous different game types from Killcount, Team Killcount to Capture the Flag and Infection. You have a wide range of options to choose from too when you host a game, such as how many players, friendly fire, bots, how big the map is, etc. The advantage this has over other xbox 360 ...
...style game rooms. One person opens up a room, sets all the settings and waits for people to join. This is unlike the Halo 2 style game rooms which has been sadly adopted by games such as Call of Duty 2 and Quake 4 (sort of), where you just search for games and when theres enough people you all get shoved together in one server, hosted by the first person to get into the room, not the one with the fastest connection. So PDZ does stand out from the ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

I own this game Perfect dark Zero, unfortunately the game is a bit cheesy the graphics don't show the potential for the xbox 360 and the gameplay is quiet bad . there are not many moves to perform although they are very simple to do . If i were you I would think of saving your money for another xbox 360 title. The gameplay itself I think lacks, especially the control system. You will find yourself finding it very hard to aim and switching between ...

Review of Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)

I was really looking forward to this game and was left hugely dissapointed by it. Purchasing the game came on the back of seeing numerous high rated reviews which can only be a good thing- not on this occasion. yes the graphics are good but i would say that in a couple of years time you will look back at them and realise how much more the xbox360 had to offer because these graphics are hardly revolutionary. When actually playing the game i was faced ...
...like splinter cell , snooping around and not alot of action in dark spacious levels. However this may be the sort of game that you like, but its not for me i much prefer the all out action of call of duty 2 which in my opinion is a much superior game. please note that i have not played this game online and can not give opinion on how it plays. ...
