The most hyped game at Microsoft's X05 event in Amsterdam this week is undoubtedly Perfect Dark Zero. Rare's much-anticipated first-person shooter has recently been confirmed as a launch title for the Xbox 360, and having spent some with both its single-player and deathmatch modes we can report that it's come a long, long way since we last saw it at E3.

There was also a second deathmatch map that we didn't get to play on during our time with the game, although we did spend a couple of minutes watching it in action. The large ice-covered map (the ice looks incredible, by the way) boasted caves, tunnels, a large wooden tower structure, and ledges cut into cliff faces that made great vantage points for anyone armed with a sniper rifle. The tower in the middle of the map looked to be where most of the weapon pick-ups were located and, as a result, was where most of the action took place. The tower could either be accessed via a stairway at ground level, or via ziplines from the cliffs above.

Perfect Dark Zero really has come a long way since we saw it at E3 and looks great. We look forward to bringing you more information on the game just as soon as we get our hands on a more finished version.

In before crickets...

Sounds boring.

The gameplay itself sounds very mixed. Some of it sounds great, some not so great.
Graphics seem to be getting the big thumbs up from the media though

Hm... a very polite, but concerned, preview, I'd say. With the game improving moderately since its E3 appearance, I hope Microsoft will give this one some more time in the oven. Don't force an average game out just to pad your launch.

from WHICH media exactly? lol

Anyone can see that graphically this game isn't much to go on about. Like its advocates say, check out the clips. Looks nice overall, but just ok nex gen wise IMO. Gameplay sounds interesting though.
