Review: Perfect Dark (XBLA)
Score: Good
Difficulty played on: Special Agent (middle difficulty)
Time to beat: Around 10 hours
Loved the most: The fact that this game is still innovative 10 years after its initial release. The music was superb too.
Hated the most: The online multiplayer component is completely mishandled and underwhelming.
As some of you may know, Perfect Dark has long held the honor of being my all-time favorite game. Lately I’ve been leaning more towards BioShock for that title, but the adventures of Joanna Dark are still high on my list. And while I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reliving them with the Xbox Live Arcade remake, seeing how poorly this game has aged in comparison to Halo: Combat Evolved, which came out just one year after Perfect Dark, has rubbed some of the nostalgia away. Rare’s spiritual successor to GoldenEye may have been a revolutionary classic in 2000, and in some respects it still is today, but the overall experience is bogged down by dated design methods.

Reactions: The FPS is redefined March 17th
Oh, sorry, wrong image...
It’s actually that other, better N64 classic that’ll be hitting the Xbox Live Arcade in less than a month. And I stand by this story’s title, as the sweet nectar that is Perfect Dark had more features 10 years ago than nearly every FPS does today. Throw in 8-player online battles, while retaining 4-player split-screen and face-lifting the graphics all for the low, low price of $10…oh, baby. The only thing that could disappoint about this package is the heavy auto-aim that will feel very different from today’s standards, but I’ve prepared myself for that. This is like the second coming…do you think Jesus will return with updated modern features and abilities?

I am so tickled that they left Counter-Op in. Jesus, this game warms my body.
