Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition

By member: zoglog - Nov 30, 2005

A pretty fun First Person with a really nice box

Strengths: Music is pretty good, Gun models and lighting effects are excellent, Decent gameplay and varied guns, Multiple online play modes including co-op!

Weakness: Some character models and animations look weak, a bit too slow for my tastes, non existant story, should have more checkpoints.

This game is a pretty decent game for the 360 and definetly a solid title. It does not suit my tastes as much as other people. I prefer to play games like Rocket Arena 3 for the PC or Quake 4 which are more fast paced. The lack of the jump button or keyboard and mouse prevents me from ever wanting to play this competitively in deathmatch. However the cooperative mode is relatively fun and the gun...

Perfect Drk Zero

Strengths: Great Multi player game

Weakness: Limited Edition DVD has nothing intresting on it

If you have Xbox live then get this game if you like shooters. Level design is great, fresh weapons. Each weapon has 2nd and 3rd functions. Also alot of games open on live. The limited edition extra DVD has nothing worth wathing

Good, but could be better

Strengths: Co-op is always a plus, supports XBL, has a nifty case if you get the limited edition

Weakness: Graphics occasionally seem like "Xbox 1.5"-style, controls are a tad confusing

Bought this game full-price not too long ago just to have something to play on my new 360, and while I wouldn't necessarily say it's worth $60, it's not too bad. Being a first-person shooter, something that doesn't have to work too hard to please me, the single-player and XBL deathmatch are entertaining. The single-player missions do have sort of a slow pace to them, though, so I'd recommend coop...

Hot graphics, excellent pacing, great weapons

Strengths: Terrific shooting action with cool weapons, knockout graphics if you have a projector or HDTV; some of the extras in the Collector's edition are actuallya

Weakness: None

Really displays the XBox 360 graphics potential to the fullest, provided you have a projector or suitably high-resolution TV to support it. The emphasis is on action---lots of shootouts---and the pacing is excellent. Many games in this genre prove to be too short, but this one took quite a long time for my kids to finish. Some of the extras that come in the Collector's Edition are lame (trading...

Not Zero, but Not Perfect

Strengths: Graphics

Weakness: Level design

One would think that glowing guides on the floor that direct you to your next objective would make a game too easy, but that is not the case here. While one could praise the developer for offering more than one path of entry into certain areas, this sometimes makes a level too open for its own good, allowing the player to get lost. The guides attempt to alleviate this problem, but their rate of...

Not so Perfect Dark

Strengths: Fantastic single player mode, nice graphics

Weakness: What happened to the cheats?! Level design is weaker than the original. Story line is weak overall.

The original Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games and this sequel, on a more powerful console several years later is a little disappointing. A lot of the features from the original PD are M.I.A. and the horrible story won't win many people over. But with that said I had a blast playing through the 1p game, where the levels were intense and required a fair amount of skill. It is just too bad...

A Fun, But Flawed Game

Strengths: +Great Multiplayer +Lots of cool weapons +Jetpacks are Fun

Weakness: -Graphics look last-gen -Terrible story and voice acting -Single player is horrible

The long awaited prequel to the fantastic N64 FPS has finally hit the market. Unfortunately, the final product has proved to be significantly less than the sum of its parts. While the online multiplayer does rival Halo in terms of pure adrenaline-pumping fun, the rest of the package is lacking. AI, story, graphics, single-player, all seem unfinished. This is odd for a game that has been in...

PDZ LE

Strengths: Gameplay, Graphics, COOP MODE

Weakness: A few bugs here and there but nothing bad

This game was spectacular, I put about 100 hours into it. The hardest difficulties are HARD and the easiest ones are EASY. Graphics were cartoony, like you'd expect from rare, and online play was GREAT! The best part was 2 player split screen coop mode in the missions. They changed the missions a bit to make them fun for 2 people to play on the same box. Awesome idea, every game should do this.

Perfect Dark Zero LE

Strengths: Game play, soundtrack, multiplayer

Weakness: Voice-acting, storyline, single-player

Perfect Dark Zero (LE) is a great launch title for the Xbox 360. Many have compared this game to Halo: Combat Evolved for the original Xbox as the must-have game for the new 360. While PDZ is a great game, there are some flaws that keep it from reaching perfection. PDZ’s game play is solid. The game runs smoothly and some of the action sequences are phenomenal. The game also contains a...

One of the best launch titles

Strengths: Fun gameplay, great graphics and sound, lots of weapons, great multiplayer

Weakness: Weak story, some annoying gameplay objectives, unrealistically attentive AI

Overall, Perfect Dark Zero is an excellent game. The gameplay is smooth and overall an entertaining experience. The graphics are crisp and polished and looks as good as I'd expect a next-gen game to look. The weapon variety is there too, with several weapons for every situation, and each one giving 2 and sometimes 3 different functions, giving you lots of options to play around with. Online play...
