Fantastic Visuals, Great Music and some pretty cool weapons does not make up for the slight lack of fun and NO story.

By Leroysavage | Review Date:
When I read the GAMESTOP reviews, I thought they were kidding about the CUT SCENES having really nothing to do with the game. Sadly, they weren't. I really wanted to love this game, I really did. Some of the visuals (i.e. the laser light shows in the nightclub, the water falls in the mountains) are jaw dropping stunning. The MUSIC is a great touch, perfect setting the overall mood.

But seeing the same face on every bad guy or girl, and hearing the same person voice EVERY SINGLE NPC is pretty lazy. I feel like I'm playing TIME SPLITTERS 2, not PDZ. The biggest blow (so far) is seeing the exact TRAINING LEVEL, back in full force in level 8. I kept thinking...."why does this all look so familiar?" ...and then it hit me: All those years in development, and we still couldn't put together the obligatory "Warehouse of Training and Shooting"

Thankfully GAMESTOP told me to check out the action ON-LINE, or in CO-OP Mode and those really work pretty well, with some fun vehicles, HUGE weapons and lots of body-part mayhem.

So Far, KING KONG blows PDZ off of skull island for that overall XBOX 360 audio and visual and story experience......and Joanna Dark is more like Jessica Lange than Naomi Watts.

    At first i wasn't so excited about how perfect dark zero would handle and if it would live up to its predecessor, but i can honestly say that this game is all it should be and possibly the best launch title for the X360... Read Full Review
