It's fair to say that Perfect Dark Zero was not the Xbox launch title Microsoft hoped it would be in The original Perfect Dark is a legendary shooter, one of the first classic console-first entries in the genre. Its sequel immediately went into production for Nintendo GameCube, but delays and major staff departures delayed it past the Microsoft buyout and the company's first Xbox console.
The game that resulted is certainly a mishmash of ideas, but it's not the absolute failure many fans remember it as. Critics praised the title upon release, but its legacy as a disappointing follow-up has overshadowed all the reasons shooter fans may wish to revisit it today.
Most of the biggest shooters on the market today were developed by teams entrenched in shooter history. While Rare also has that legacy on the N64, the team that made Perfect Dark Zero was not the same one that crafted Goldeneye Instead, that team became the developers of TimeSplitters , and Rare was left to create its own sequel. This makes Perfect Dark Zero an ambitious game in its own right, and that alone is something worth seeing.
The game implements uncommon features, like armor that bursts off of baddies when they're fired upon and a boomerang weapon that can take players out in a few hits.

What I liked about this game is that the weapons that you carry will affect your speed, just like it would in real life.
Next Level Gaming. It's not the controls or the FPS feel that started to get me into the game. It's the variation of the missions and your specific goals that make PDZ so interesting and addicting. Extreme Gamer. I think most people are let down by the Xbox follow up, although Perfect Dark Zero isn't garbage even if the plot is trash. The innovative weapons, sharp and accessible gameplay and almost perfect multiplayer aspect lands PDZ into the good category.
For as solid as Perfect Dark Zero is, it's not going to wow you with anything innovative. But hey, when you're fragging away at fellow gamers from all around the world, you're not going to care. Electronic Gaming Monthly. I'm not sure what upsets me more: the horrendous mess that is Perfect Dark Zero's single-player game or all the glowing reviews out there including Che's.

In the trailer, we see a very lush, bountiful city in bloom, but also see parts of Earth ravaged by fires and destruction. As the trailer ends, Joanna Dark has just cleared out read: killed everyone inside one of these green corps, and stands on the roof of the building, staring out as a lightning storm rages in the distance.
The logo on the roof reveals this building to be dataDyne HQ. It appears then that Perfect Dark will have something to say about climate change, which will hopefully add some nuance to the campaign's setting. Also also, two prequels in a row is a bit daft. Almost certainly. Many sources contributed to Rare picking her name. Oh, and she was designed by Martin Hollis, the director behind GoldenEye , so it goes without saying that her gunplay was always excellent.
