I think Perfect Dark is the best FPS game of all. And I think it's more better than Halo. A true complete Masterpiece!
At first when you get this game without the Expansion Pack,It looks really stupid an weird.But if you did aquire the Expansion Pack,you would change your mind about the game ever being pathetic.The Graphics are totally Awesome! Even though it has Faces that don't move their mouth's,the backround and the game's mechanics run quite good.
The gameplay seems similar to GoldenEye except that unlike Halo,when you play through the Campaign Mode and aquire different difficulty settings,the whole gameplay and story of Perfect Dark completely changes.The whole storyline of the game is totally twisted,doing more twisted and harder challenges than what you did and think previously when you tried the easier difficulties.Of course this game changes.You're going to notice it soon anyways because once you tried the other difficulties you're going to notice that somethings amiss.About the multiplayer,it also changes too.The stages,the computer controlled A.I. Bots,the complexity of the levels,the options,and the characters too.
Now the sound here is absolutely amazing! If you have a Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound H.T.S.(Home Theatre System)It's going to shake the whole place you're in if you have it. It sounds so realistic that it feels like you're in War World Three.The ambient sound effects work perfectly here since you can hear everything around you like voices,weapons,glass breaking,rain,and CyberPunk Future Vehicles zooming around the air and off of the floor.It seems so classical that if you have an Expansion Pack in your N64,go to the options menu and press audio and put Surround on.Then go to the visuilizations menu and put your Screen in a WideScreen format.Don't put the Ratio in 16:9,it's going to look pretty ugly.Either put it in 1:78:1 WideScreen or put in a Cinematic LetterBox 2:35:1 WideScreen to give the game a new type of feeling and look for FPS's that feel movie or Theatrical like to you with an H.T.S.
The Learning Curve is also very easy to learn,even if you don't read an instructions manual you would get to know the curve relatively early in 30 minutes or less with ease.Your aim would have been off but still enimies would coward against your rapid firing.
Finally the great thing's about this game is it's gameplay,graphics,sound,tilt,and value.The gameplay's Perfect,the graphics are awesome,the sounds theatrical,the tilt's alright,and the value is exceptional.
The downsides of this game is that people will notice the dated graphics with the still moving faces,and the sound which people think its quiet and noisy both at the same time.Like the voices are very soft and the weapons are extremely Loud.This doesn't bother me because I play it all of the time.
Well the people out there who like's this game and think that this is a MasterPiece,I Congratulate them BigTime for it!
And the people who hate this game that get's very angry and starts smashing their contoller's to pieces,I don't blame them because it's hard,and thinking that Halo's a better game than Perfect Dark,it's just the way it is.I also like Halo too,except for the multiplayer because it's so boring without any music to listen.I hope Bungie make's a better time out of the miltiplayer modes for Halo because I think Halo should be like Perfect Dark with options like changing the format to widescreen,and having a list of the soundtracks to play with your friends in Multiplayer or XBOX Live,and choosing your own custom set of weapon's to each part of a specific weapon location respawn in a Multiplayer Map.And...I really don't know if Bungie will accept this.But if anyone has heard of AKIRA,maybe they could take a few massive weapons from it and maybe model it into better weapons like the over Killing Machine Assault Rifle,the rocket launchers,and maybe a Nuclear Weapon like the Prototype Coupdetat Assault Laser for the Military project that KANEDA has in the movie near the end.
Thanks again for the people who Love Perfect Dark and also the people who hate it and like's Halo more better and being a Psychotic FPS Player because people are awaiting Halo 3 and expect changes to the game.
I don't think Halo 3 is going to be different than Halo 2 becuse I think Halo 3 picks off from the horrible ending of Halo 2's storyline when you finish the campaign.But I really want to see changes when Halo 3 comes out on the XBOX 360.And I think other people want to see changes too.
Again,thanks a lot for you Gamers for liking Perfect Dark and Halo.And have a good time playing FPS's and being A Psychotic Game Freak like me. :)
