What happened?
Perfect Dark Zero looked amazing, we were told it was going to be amazing, and Rare lead us to believe that this game would make us "forget about Halo." Yeah right. I guess I will begin with Perfect Dark Zero's pros to get you, the reader, excited before I reveal the ture identity of this self proclaimed Halo-killer.
Graphics. I believe that graphics are an important part of a game. If a game doesn't appeal to me visually I don't want to look at, it let alone play it. PDZ (Perfect Dark Zero) does have great graphics, in first person. For some reason the characters look horrible in the game's cutscenes, but look amazing when you have a weapon in your hand. That is basically it for the Pros....graphics. Also bots are a fun add-on and great for getting the horrible achievements. And there is Co-Op online and off, but you won't want to play the campaign anyway, believe me.
Cons.
Gameplay feels sluggish and crappy. Crappy is the only word i can use to describe the gameplay. It just downright sucks. The characters are moving everywhere and your gun doesn't move or reload fast enough to keep up with them. The story is horrific and i had no idea what the heck i was doing for the entire campaign. Multiplayer feels forced (I don't even no why it just does) and it is not fun. The Achievements are some of the worst in any 360 game and you only get 15 points if you beat the campaign on the second highest difficulty. And the voice acting is bad too. Also the difficulty settings are too varied. The secret agent difficulty is cake but move to the dark agent difficulty and you'll want to cry.
Overall this game is a disappointment and a disgrace. I don't know why but all the elements are there for a great game but it just doesn't pull through. I think that ever since Halo my standards (and those of the gaming community) have risen and we won't accept a game any less than that of Halo quality. Technically its an average game, but if your playing for fun, don't get this game.
