You got your 360, you got your HD TV, but you wont the best game you can get, here it is. This is a REAL player review
In the late 90's we were all playing one of 2 games, Perfect Dark, and Goldeneye. Of course, we owe Rare much thanks for making both of these titles. Thank You Rare. Now Get chopping on Perfect Dark 2.
The game takes through the events before Perfect Dark, explaining what happened to Joanna Dark's father Jack, and how she got started with Carrington's organization. You play the game as Joanna, with her father, as a set of hired help, and by help, i mean you two go in and kill for money, oh and get information too i guess.
Your first mission working with your father, is to find out where a scientist named Zeigler is, and to gain knowledge of his data. As you go through the mission. You manage to rescue Zeigler and retrieve his data. However, he'll do something to your father and the die. soon afterwards, soldiers are coming after you two, trying get the information, Zeigler put in your fathers head.
If you loved the story from the last one, then don't get very excited. This one is nothing compared to the first one. I say this because,some levels are not as in depth as others, one level may take you half an hour, another may take you 5 minutes. And there is only 14 levels to play, and the last doesn't really count. However, whether you played the first or not, you'll definately enjoy this one.
The multiplayer is what really sets this game apart from the rest. Its online, up to 32 people can play, and there is plenty of variety in it to keep you interested. If you recall from the first game, you were able to add bots to the gaem to make it more interesting, well dont fret, the bots are back. and more customiziable and intelligent than ever. And when i say intelligent,i mean that can end up being so difficult, you kill yourself just to have kill someone.
The weapons are all incredible. You have a variety, some assualt weapons and smgs, to close combat and pistols, of course there are more to choose from. But what makes them so incredible is that each weapon has a unique secondary(some even have a third) function that add many more possibilities to the game. Some functions are basic such as adding a silencer, or a different form of vision(such as night, or even x-ray). However, some areincredible, one gun made you invisible, another made a holographic clone of you, one gun turned into a turret that attacked all your enemies.
The graphics in this game aren't as nice i would like them to be, they look like new xbox game graphics. And you'll definately notice some graphic problems. However, my biggest problem with it was that the game had load times that made you question what they were for, when the game is on such a powerful system and the graphics look the way they do.
The sound was great. I enjoyed how they made some characters sound like the chinese food guy from south park(we all know who he is and what he sounds like, and now we wonder why Rare isn't getting sued for the stereotypical characters). each weapon had a sound that I didn't hear often from another gun. My favorite part of the sound though was the noise you heard from activating a new vision, it reminded me of putting on night vision goggles in splinter cell.
All in all, this is a must have if your looking for a great game that you want to play online, however, if you want a game for the story, and that you wont really play online, the i gotta recommend you get Call of Duty 2. But if you do get this game, you definatly have a stellar time playing it.
