Perfect Dark

The fact that the main character is a female secret agent adds a little sarcasm to the stories. She's brilliant, beautiful and a professional with guns.

I also love the fact that one of the aliens is named Elvis. He fights by Joanna's side when in space.

This game has the same controls as Goldeneye, but this game is way better. Its got a variety of characters to play with, plus you can switch around the heads of the characters. The guns are more futuristic with maybe a couple of modern weapons like a shotgun.

Personally, my favourite guns are the laptop gun and Farsight.

Anyways, people who enjoy games like CS and Goldeneye, i recommend this game. It's easy to play and fun for everyone!

This is my favorite game for Nintendo 64. This game is basically Tomb Raider + Goldeneye + The Matrix. The graphics are great and the weapons and characters are also great. My favorite part of the entire game is the Multiplayer, its so much fun to play with 4 people. This is a great game.

This game far surpasses it's inspiration (Goldeneye). It has a far higher replay value on account of more variations of simulants, and several different winning conditions. A "perfect" game for parties. If you liked Goldeneye, the only thing you won't like about this game is that fast animation isn't nearly as quick as Goldeneye.

Special Agent Joanna Dark works with the Carrington Institute. When the Institute recieves a distress signal from Dr Caroll, Joanna is sent into the headquaters of sinister corporation DataDyne Inc to rescue him. With him in tow they find that DataDyne has made deadly connections with an alien race that seeks to bring it's rule to earth. With the lives of earth and other planets in the balance Joanna works to stop the alliance.

This "sequel" to Goldeneye uses the same engine to drive it and looks similar in style - the controls being identical in fact. However the graphics are considerably better, everything moves much faster, speech is involved in both the game and the cut sequences and the cinema scenes are longer. The game isn't just a shoot 'em up - it's not just a matter of shooting constantly. Some levels are, but the majority require some thought and plenty of stealth tactics. In some levels silencers must be used to avoid setting off the alarm, while in others you must capture staff alive in order to complete your objectives. With three difficulty levels on each stage (not only increasing the ability of your opponents but adding more objectives) and a range of challenges on each this will last you for a long time. Some of the levels are really difficult and you almost need to slowly work your way through by stealth. Even when you finish the level - for many if you complete it within a set time then you get a cheat (some of these are really hard).

Outside of the game you have the traditional multi player game. The degree to which you can tweak this is astonishing - you can set all types of weapons, all types of games (combat, king of the hill etc - not just games where you shoot everything in sight), time, scores and a set of 30 challenges to play against. This will keep the game alive for long after you finish the main game and, unlike Goldeneye - you can still play it even if you're alone!

The game has a gradual learning curve in both the game and the challenges, meaning that you will occassionally get stuck but not to the point of frustration.

Overall this is a perfect game - I'm sure the graphics etc will be superseeded with time, but the heart of the game is strong.

What can you say about a game where you are a female agent protecting the world from alien domination? Or having more than a dozen action-packed levels with unique guns and realistic, talking enemies? And an alien who has more personality than your math teacher? It is excellence, my friend, sheer excellence. Rare could not come out with a better sequel to Goldeneye than PD. The graphics are stunning and clear, and the effects are a novelty ( This is true to throwing knives: when you stick one in an enemy, they gasp and the screen gets blurry and their health drops). The plot is especially good, and Elvis is the coolest alien you ever done saw.

If you don't own this game you better rush out and buy it! *****/
