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

   As far as i'm concerned,This is one of the greatest games ever made! Certainly the best on the N64 IMO.I dont know why everyone goes on aboutAs far as i'm concerned,This is one of the greatest games ever made! Certainly the best on the N64 IMO.I dont know why everyone goes on about Goldeneye,this game is far superior in every way,& has genuinely groundbreaking ideas,such as a friend being able to play as your enemies in the campaign,& Co-Op for the campaign,which was almost unheard of in those days,especially for an FPS.While Goldeneye,was a pretty generic game,with notthing particually special or outstanding about it,& If released today,Goldeneye would be seen as a weak game i suspect,but after playing the newly polished Perfect Dark,its still got all the magic,& all the features that made it a classic game.From the features already mentioned,to the great weapons with imaginative secondary modes,well thought out missions,with varying objectives depending on the game dificulty,that are untypical in this day & age,the music,everything was good.Most of the weapons in Perfect Dark have become iconic to anyone that has played the game.A great job has been done on the new version of this game,giving it a High Def polish & a super smooth framerate(which was the only thing that let the original down a little).This is as close to a 'Perfect' (Pun Intended) game than your going to get.Wether you had this on the N64 or not,I HIGHLY recommend this game.… Expand

   Perfect dark is a must play. It stands as an example on how re-releases should be handled. The revamped textures in HD look great, and thePerfect dark is a must play. It stands as an example on how re-releases should be handled. The revamped textures in HD look great, and the frame rate has been upped to a lovely 60fps, making the game run smooth and look smooth. It means that older players wont need to rely on nostalgia to enjoy it, and newer players wont be put off. The game is great. Playing it again reminded me of the time when shooters demanded you invest slightly more than just 'shoot the dudes' to progress (of course, if you don't like that sort of game then you can jack the difficulty all the way down, taking most of the objectives out of the levels). The objective based missions and lack of recharging health require you to play a little smarter than most modern shooters. The only recent example that I have played of this in new games is Goldeneye reloaded on 007 classic difficulty, so if you enjoyed that at all then this is for you.
   The story is more or less the standard cyberpunk affair (but with aliens!), fighting against an evil mega corp, while uncovering the greater conspiracy that lies behind it all. The story is interesting, but, in my opinion, slightly underdeveloped, though maybe I have just been spoiled by the likes of Mass Effect and Fallout. The elements are all there; conspiracy, aliens, AI, secret agents, literally warring corporations, but it felt like they had to condense it all to save space on the cartage, and it loses out on that. Don't let that put you off though, its awesome the missions are very well designed. The game play is solid and organic, showing the kind of level design that would be soon seen in things like Timesplitters and Second Sight. It also has local split screen multiplayer, something that more games should have (HAWX, Rage, Red Faction, I'm looking at you) meaning you do not need an internet connection to enjoy the multiplayer. In fact the online aspect tends to be one of the games few flaws, as there is seldom people online, and it can only go up to 8 player, making the online aspect seem rather lonely in comparison to something like call of duty. This is by no means a deal breaker, as the game solidly stands up on its single player and local multiplayer modes. For older gamers its a chance to revisit a classic shooter, and for newer gamers, it is an opportunity to show how the shooter has changed over the years, and perhaps give better perspective on shooters now by comparing them to then. C'mon, its only 800 Microsoft points.… Expand

   J'ai joué à ce truc via la compil' Rare Replay sur Xbox One qui émule la version "remastérisée" Xbox 360 de la vieille version Nintendo 64 :J'ai joué à ce truc via la compil' Rare Replay sur Xbox One qui émule la version "remastérisée" Xbox 360 de la vieille version Nintendo 64 : c'est amusant. Non, le jeu n'a rien d'amusant mais il est amusant de constater qu'on puisse jouer dans d'excellentes conditions à une vieille daube de ce genre, car on s'en voudrait d'avoir raté un truc pareil.
   
   Oui, on s'en voudrait, car il s'agit apparemment d'un FPS incroyable du monde des consoles, un monument porté aux nues par... ah mais attendez, il s'agissait d'un jeu de la Nintendaube, donc tout s'explique : les fanboys idolâtres des consoles Nintendaube sont en effet les pires fanatiques au monde et de toute la galaxie. Et de tout l'univers. Il ne faut donc pas s'étonner des notes et commentaires dithyrambiques à propos d'un FPS foireux.
   
   Bon, au moins ça tourne à 60 im/s et les graphismes sont propres. "Propres" mais pas vraiment jolis pour autant. Néanmoins, on ne les critiquera pas outre-mesure, vu l'âge du machin évidemment. On se bornera à constater (comme un huissier) que même en 2000, on avait des FPS mille fois mieux que ce "Perfect Dark"... sans compter le premier Halo sorti en... 2001 !
   
   On se bornera simplement à tourner en rond là-dedans comme dans un vieux Doom... mais sans aucune carte ni repère, ni rien. Et sans sauvegarde pendant la mission, histoire de prolonger une durée de vie naturellement faiblarde. Et sans médikit non plus (histoire de prolonger etc...). On constatera également que sans la visée automatique, le jeu est injouable et qu'avec, il est ridicule. On notera que les sensations sont absentes, que la jouabilité est molle et que les ennemis sont stupides.
   
   En conséquence de quoi, on s'ennuie à vitesse grand V dans cet ersatz de FPS à la petite semaine, démoulé par Rare, le développeur qui fait rarement de bons jeux et toujours de la merde.… Expand
