User Rating: 6.5 | Perfect Dark Zero X360
This is not as fun as expected. That just about says everything. You know, I trust Gamespot. I trust them a lot. Pretty much any review they write, I am usually pretty close in my scoring of the game as well. Until now.

Perfect Dark Zero is a visually stunning game. That is true. It looks absolutely great. Sometimes I would just let Joanna sit there and I would look around. That does not make a great game. There must be other elements to make it great.

Sound was excellent. I have digital optical sound, so this was awesome.

Here is where the problems start and end. Gameplay was not good. A character in an FPS should be able to move quite easily. In fact, they have been able to do this for years. For some reason, Joanna Dark cannot run fast, move fast or anything fast. I realize that some of the weapons are heavier than others and they seem to take that into account. However, when there are no weapons equipped, she should be able to haul a#@! That girl is in amazing shape, just look at her. If not, then maybe some grown ups should be called in as pinch hitters to play grown up games.

The story was good but frankly nothing really new there.

Rent this game. It is not worth 9 out of 10. Check my score.
