Perfect Dark Zero GameSpot review

The Good: Awesome presentation, featuring cutting-edge graphics and sound; delicious assortment of high-powered near-future weapons; excellent cooperative mission mode lets you play split screen or online; lots of multiplayer options, including some clever twists on familiar themes; one of the best original soundtracks this year.

The Bad: Characters can look ugly up close, plus some other minor graphical glitches; some missions are frustrating, especially since you can't save midmission; pretty weak storyline is incidental to all the action.


Taken as a whole, Perfect Dark Zero is decidedly one of the best, fully featured Xbox 360 games so far, and it's a compelling reason to spring for the system if you've been on the fence. While the game doesn't reinvent the first-person shooter, which has been a mainstay of action gaming for more than a decade, it delivers one of the most highly refined and spectacular examples of this brand of gameplay to date. From its ravishing good looks and totally first-rate audio, to the believable feel of its outstanding weapons, to its wealth of single- and multiplayer options, Perfect Dark Zero delivers just about everything you could hope for from a first-person shooter.





HATERS AM CRY
 
Wow, that's higher than I expected. After playing it the last 3 days I figured it would be around 8.0-8.5.

Not a bad score...not bad at all.
 
:lol :lol :lol

doesnt%20get%20any%20better%20than%20this.jpg
 
it was a pity AAA :lol




Naw, I'm sure it's a nice game. but their "the bad" makes it seem like it should have been a lower score. Looks like a worthy purchase though.
 
I AM BEAMING, PRIME. BEAMING. I have never been so happy.

LAUGH AT ME NOW, OUR BOI KASAVIN HAS avenged our honor in a most Beowulfian fashion.

The lord-retainer relationship lives!!!
 
Well the rollercoaster is coming to the end and it looks like I will be buying it, mainly for the multiplayer.

Isn't this Gamespot's highest rated launch game too?
 
So this translates into like what a 9.6 IGN? I'm still a little skeptical no fuckin way Rare got this right. Is this really a reason for me to humble myself and buy a 360? I'll await further verdicts before I plunk down 480 bones.
 
What has me extremely excited at the moment is the fact that Counter-Op and Challenges are on their way and will be able to be played online! FUCK YEAH.

Far from it.

Halo says hi.

Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II asks for a beer.

Almost forgot Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
 
Moneyhats
review text doesn't match score
GS are biased
What about that Wallguy?
Rare - their last good game was ... when?
X360 is shit
 
I don't know, I'm getting it anyway, but GameSpot did give the original a 9.9, and gave both Kameo and Conker higher scores than pretty much everyone. And I hated Conker.
 
I will be playing this in about an hour and a half at a friends house. i hope i can pick the "me rikey the xbox360 guy" in multiplayer.


If i can't, i will know that this score is bs.

Same here! Can't wait till my X360 comes in. I've got Kameo and PDZ already, just dying to be played. :D
 
Ahahahaahaha! Hahahahaha! Bwaahahahaha!

*catches breath* <puff> <puff>

Aaahahahahahahahahaha!

Tens of thousands of people forming lines all over the country, Greg "Gladiator" Kasavin giving the much maligned PD0 a freakin 9.0... Oh my. Today has been one bitter, bitter day for Xbox haters.
