User Rating: 8 | Perfect Dark Zero X360
Perfect Dark Zero was my introduction into the Perfect Dark world and for a little bit I was very impressed. The game play is fun; I personally liked the option to have waypoints since I often found myself running in circles in the broad maps. Not much new or creative where the weapons are concerned, however I appreciated the fact that you were limited to the number and combination of weapons you could have with you for any mission. But while your weapons were limited there was almost no shortage of ammo in the maps which makes your opposition easy to dispense with even though they have fairly impressive AI. Despite being visually stunning and very pleasing to the ears, the game didn’t prove to be very enticing to play after the first few levels. The game can become dry and I felt little motivation to continue my campaign partially due to a weak story line.
I was able to find the game on sale at a local retailer for $19.99 and being a bargain title helped make up for much of the games shortcomings. At $50, this game certainly would not have proved to be a decent value due to the simple game play and lackluster storyline. If you’re looking for a good FPS stick with COD2 or GRAW.
