Remembering Perfect Dark - A Sci-Fi Fueled Goldeneye

Tried playing Zero a couple years ago and got so bored I couldn't finish it. Maybe the first is better

I loved Rare as a studio! Their games were different but good.....

I was a little late to the show on the 64, so I didn't play a ton of Goldeneye. When Perfect Dark came out, I was like, this game is the ****! It's like Goldeneye but cooler! I know most people would disagree with me on that.

I couldn't get my friends to like it as much as I did (they were all Goldeneye fans) but I just loved the cool guns and the freaky story.

Now I want to dig out Zero and try to get into it again. I know it wasn't as good as the original, but just reading this makes me want to go back in time.

Now where IS that storage bin...

Oh GAWD do I want a new Goldeneye. How empty a gen is without 007, TMNT, Transformers, Terminator, Aliens FPS, Marvel...etc all done with single player campaign in mind. Multi-COOP would be badazz too!

The game that got me into shooters.

Funny how the soundtracks in this game destroy everything coming out nowdays.

In first-person shooters, the only way of physically interacting with anything is to shoot it. It's important that everything you shoot reacts in a way that's both satisfying and realistic to the universe. Rare nailed that with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

I remember getting bored with a friend in multiplayer and we spent an hour shooting every light out in various multiplayer levels. And being able to co-op a shooter campaign, a year before Halo made it cool was something we took for granted.

I hated the N64 controller. Whenever I think of that controller, I picture Sloth from the Goonies as the designer. "Hey, you guuuuuys! Look at what I made!" LOL.

the perfect dark series it's been okay to date. hopefully the new one feels like the originals but have a modern control scheme and better look/turning sensitivity than zero has.
