    The XBLA has seen some pretty spectacular games in its time, but Perfect Dark has to be the pinnacle of XBLA gaming simply because despite its age, the game is so jam packed with features that even gamers used to more modern shooters will find some enjoyment.

    New players will find a lot to enjoy and the people who completed speed runs blindfolded will find new layers to enjoy.
  3. Cheat Code Central
    74
    Newer gamers will likely find themselves frustrated by the trial-and-error single-player campaign, though it will be a fun return home for veterans of the franchise. The real allure is the surprisingly robust online multiplayer matches.

    "The other though was the story mode, which was inferior to GoldenEye 007 in terms of both design and its insipid characters, plot and game world." David Jenkins, you're a fucking idiot. Goldeneye's singleplayer didn't even HAVE a story (or characters for that matter), and PD was far superior to GE in every way imaginable. GE's story was ripped off of the movie, which wasn't that great to begin with. Seriously, that's the dumbest thing I have ever read. Rare actually tried for originality with PD, and, unlike you, many were more impressed with PD's ingenuity than they were with GE (Single and Multi). I guess mom wouldn't let you play PD until it was released on the arcade though, so you wouldn't know. In reality, nostalgia's the only reason you claim GE is a classic. I wouldn't be surprised if your main gripe with PD has more to do with the leading female character, you chauvinist twat.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best, if not the best first-person shooter ever made. The story may be shallow, but new environments in almost every mission prevent the game from feeling repetitive. Very good-looking weapons and devices, all made to look good with this HD overhaul. Strafing around dataDyne Central killing hundreds of guards will never get old. Strafing around Battle Shrine and avoiding Skedar will probably get old, but still is fun. It still blows me away to think that just on a blocky, outdated cartridge there was an entire powerhouse of AI, levels, environments, and even multiplayer. One of the best remakes of classic games of all time, period.… Expand

    By today's standards I'm sorry this game is just dated. Video games aren't exactly a medium known for their posterity and Perfect Dark proves that. Why anyone would want to play this over say a modern shooter like Halo in this day in age is beyond me. Perfect Dark just didn't age well...… Expand
