Perfect Dark Zero Impressions


It's not as great as Perfect Dark N64 in any way. This makes me sad.

Played most of the way through the single player now. Meh. Story is lame to the point of not caring and skipping it sometimes. There's just no draw to play it and I'm only completing it for the sake of "I've bought the game so I might as well", not because I am dying to do so. Yeah, the graphics are quite nice and have a nice style to them but as ever they are too shiny, and being an old game they do look a bit dated next to BioShock and whatever. Music is lame, which is poor from Rare as I think they have some of the best soundtracks ever...

The multiplayer has only recently came to my attention and again, I feel it's not as good as the N64 classic. The game moves too slowly and compared to the likes of Halo 3 these days, it's just too simple. PD for the N64 was innovative, and this feels like a remake rather than a BAM next -gen effort. Disappointed so far. Will be testing Live to see if things get any better over the weekend.

And P.S. What have you done to Jo Dark!?!? She looks like some kind of raver. I preferred her N64 days look, now that was cool.
