Perfect Dark 64 Jesse Powell
Overall 10/10
This is one best Nintendo 64 games I used to play when I was a kid I remember when used this game on 3 or 4 players on the Nintendo 64 with my brother, cousins and my friends on combat simulator my favorite place was the fortresses with the red,blue,yellow and green bases in it we would use the golden magnum against each other every time we got shot by the golden magnum we will die after a one hit shot and my favorite weapon was the laptop gun because I will fill it up with ammo and use secondary mode and throw it in a very high place and eventually I kill someone and score points and will I am playing by myself I would turn on the cheat codes for infinite ammo and invincibility and go against dark sims the hardest Sims in the game I still play this game to this day. .
Graphics 10/10
This game has great graphics for a Nintendo 64 game that was released in 2000 especially in solo mode the levels look more detailed especially with the expansion pak installed the extra 4mb of ram ..
Sound 10/10
This game has great sound my favorite soundtrack in the game is alien conflict It brings memories when I first played it in 2001 on my Nintendo 64 the solo levels have great music I like the air force music the best and the firing range is one of the best music in the game ..
Addictiveness 9.5/10
I would love to play this game on the original Nintendo 64 console because it so fun to play I usually play on solo mode to try to beat the game perfect agent with 5 objectives and the enemies are more harder once means I die faster every time I get shot on perfect agent and usually I beat the entire game I would use cheat codes in solo mode and I would use the super dragon and use the secondary mode as grande launcher and start blowing up enemies and sometimes I would blow out some lights in some levels light the first level and I would go the air force level with invincibility code and go fight with Trent he has a shield on him and he has a golden magnum I would died if didn't have the invincibility cheat on I would go hide all over the place in the plane I would go the bathroom and open the close the door every time he opens it I would throw a laptop gun all over the place and throw a bunch of remote mines and proximity mines at him and still would never die I will be playing this game again if I ever get another copy for my Nintendo 64 I Still need another expansion pak I currently have this game on xbox live but it doesn't feel the same as the original Nintendo 64 version. .
Story 9.5/10
This game has grwat story to it in solo mode I like the story with Elvis in Area 51 rescue and escape and the air base to listen to Blonde and Trent and the crash site is where Trent gets kill by Blonde when he turned into a monster .. Depth 4/10
This game doesn't feel that long to me to beat u could beat this game on agent in 30 mins and 1 hour on special agent and 2 hours on perfect agent I could beat the first Level in 30 seconds on agent The game is pretty short to beat .
Difficulty 1.5/10
This game is so easy to beat but it can be hard on perfect agent the first level is the easiest level and the Chicago level is the second easiest level in the game I could beat it in less than 2 mins on perfect agent and some cheat codes can be hard to get especially on perfect agent the hardest one was the area 51 rescue on perfect agent in 7 mins and 59 seconds to play as Elvis on solo mode I managed to get it on xbox live but not on the original version ..but this is a easy game overall I have played it since 2001 I found it more easier the more I play it ..

Perfect dark (N64) thenumberone
So, this is actualy my 2nd review of this game, I made one last year, twas a thing of beauty with descriptions about weapons and everything, then i hit submit and got a vizzed error, wiping my entire review =(
Il copy it this time in case something happens =p
Perfect dark, i was sadly ignorant of until i stumbled upon it on vizzed, but what a find. Even having played moderngames i was amased at how well this one stood up, but you almost expect that from n64, a truely great console.
In the game you are an agent of the carington institute, youre essentialy a female james bond, following up on leads to uncover a very...interesting scenario.
The game wasnt overly lavish on the hints so i never realised certain things until well into the game. weapons you pick up, from pistols to rocket launchers are all unlocked for training in the carington institute ( your hq).
Each individual weapon has 3 timed challenges whereby you have to either destroy so many targets in a set time or get a certain number of points while maintaining a certain accuracy percentage.
It limits your ammo too, and some of these are exceptioaly difficult to do but well worth the effort, for every challenge level completed you get an accuracy and damage increase, making missions FAR easier.
You can also unlock cheats like start with a rocket launcher or a partner etc, by completing set goals like complete said level on perfect agent (hardest difficulty) or complete in say, 15 minutes.
If youre in game and think, id like to play a harder difficulty but i dont want to lose what iv unlocked, that too, is not a problem. From the carington institute you can scroll through missions, and choose the difficulty ( but if you want to do a harder one you have to play the missions consecutively). I started on easiest, and then went back to do it on perfect dark.
As well as unlocking things for doing that, the harder the difficulty, the more objectives there are, the easy difficulties essentialy cut half the mission so uping the difficulty after, really expands the gameplay.
The great thing about the game is all the extra things you do mean completing the game is only half the battle. I got a bonus mission after and unlocked another one, started doing the harder difficulties, upgrading my remaining weapons via training, and unlocking the cheats.
On top of that it has multiplayer style modes that can happily run npc's, giving you yet more to do.
It has to be the longest lasting n64 game, or retro game even, that iv ever played. Iv not finished everything yet either.
But, everything has its weak points and perfect dark is no exception.
So what could be wrong?
Well honestly... The plot is stupid.
Yeh, i said it, i wont go into details because i wouldnt want to ruin (despite my feeling you cant break what is already broken) the story for those that havent played but, really?
It starts great, conspiracy, men in the shadow yada yada. But frankly, the speculation was better than the truth.
Still, the gameplay just feels right, and everything seems to flow, so its a setback, nothing more.
The next point is a little more serious, however i think its more to do with problems emulating it than flaws with the game itself so its exempted from my judgement of the game.
The camspy, the floating camera, ( yeh you get some cool toys) is needed in the 2nd mission. A simple youtube search shows what it should look like, a kind of night vision mode. What you get however, is a fairely unhelpfull black screen. Given that the room you use it in is radioactive, you have to release the camera outside and navigate it blind. With a bit of trial and error, and a healthy dose of luck, you can eventualy get the photo you need. I can only be glad that you rarely need to use the thing.
So then, lets wrap this up.
Graphics-10
Iv got to be honest, bearing in mind when this was made, i have no problems with the graphics, its clear and consistant, im impressed that they managed it if im honest.
The one thing i could pull at is the design of the... Final enemys, and oh could i pull at that, but thats not bad implementation, thats dumb design.
Also, the way enemys die could be considered stupid, but i found it hilarious so i hold no grudge.
Sound-9
Really, its not half bad, i mean some tracks suck but its not the same thing recycled over and over again, the soundtracks fit well, theyre nice inthemselves, and generaly add to the atmosphere.
The character audio is less than perfect, stoping it getting a 10 but its not bad. Equally the death sounds are stupid, some of them could publish there last words as a book on the way to the floor...
Addictiveness-10
Make no mistake, this is addicting. As i said, completing the campaign is only half of the game. The makers put so much extra stuff in that you can expect to triple youre playtime if you do it all, at the very least.
Story-5
Ah, what a letdown... It was all going so well and then, boom!
But, it was still fun to start with, and ok as it drew to an end.
Depth-10
Iv covered it multiple times so i wont keep on about it, il just conclude that it has a huge amount to do and many hours of play quality.
Difficulty-5
Dont be misled by that, the reason i give it 5 is you have difficulty settings, at its easiest it'd be about 2, at its hardest 9.
But if you do the weapon training it can be as low as 1 and as high as 7, i cant overstate what a difference that makes.
Overall-9
It was close, so close to a 10. It was simply let down at points, such as audio. Honestly, if that had been that, i probably still would have given it a ten, I just felt the plot just hit the ground at a certain point. The sheer skill in creating everything else, the weapons, the aim, the reactions, the audio, the extra unlocks and the objectives to achieve them all make this a truely great game, anyone who dosent play it will be left in the dark. I award it a close to perfect 9, and its well earned.

Halo 64 nazo
What can I say about this game..?
umm....IT'S PERFECT!
Perfect dark that is.
the end.
This game is overall pretty dang awesome,only a few things bugged me(Like the way they took the phrase "punch you'r lights out" to literally) ??It reminds allot of the halo series, but before halo existed! The gun play is solid and all the guns and gadgets look really cool.
I really liked the soundtrack, even though it didn't really have much to choose from.The sound is probably something I really can't
say much about,even though the music was good,I could barely hear it because my computer sucks....
really all I heard was really skippy explosions and maybe some guns?....So I had to turn the music off so it ran correctly. sue me..
When I played through I realized that the challenges that are on the multiplayer are essential to having the most fun with this game.
playing through them unlocks weapons,game modes,arenas,the ability to put eight or more bots in,AND more costumes!!!.....
?*inhales heavily* I probably MISSED something to...give me a minute....*inhales*?
As much fun as I had with the game,there were a few things I really didn't like.For one,whats with the unarmed combat?!
Seriously! I don't want my screen to turn completely black for five minutes! even after you respawn it STAYS...
Another thing is only because of the emulator.On the second mission you have to use a spy cam and it also shows black with
no way to fix it...
also that means I really don't know much about the story...And I haven't looked on youtube 'cuz I don't want to spoil it. Sooo....yeah.?
the animations are okay for an N64 but aren't on the same level as say,OoT. But they'll do. the actual gameplay is extremely fast
paced. I mean seriously, jeez, this game likes to go a hundred miles an hour.
The game is pretty well balanced, as all the guns have two functions, weaknesses, strengths, and cool designs.
Its kinda tough to use a controller with this game, (unless of course, you'r using an N64 controller, whereas I am using a PS3 controller)
especially if you plan on trying to use modern like controls.
all in all, this game is pretty awesome. I'll give it 10 not only for being?one of the N64 FPS games, but being one of the best also.

Perfect Dark - Near Perfect Game Cajunjenn
Perfect Dark - Near Perfect Game
This game was amazing. I was looking for a James Bond 007 For Nintendo64 style of game and this hit that need. The graphics were good, and the sound was amazing. I loved the way the characters would retort at you after being shot, or the way they'd yell things in surprise if sneaked up on. It was really cool. In terms of Difficulty I found it great. It could be very hard if need be, or just at a simple play level. Myself, I played at the easiest level and still found a bit of a challenge. The controls as most Nintendo64 games (Using your PC) Are a tad tricky at first, but if you modify them to what makes you more comfortable you'll get the hang of it quicker. Aside it's good graphics and superb sound and speech, the plot was interesting. It had twists and all sorts of things. This game age wise I would say maybe 14 (Depending on their maturity) or 15 and up. The little bits of language used in this game wasn't really that bad, and it would make most people laugh as it was used in a light manner. The game is addictive enough to make anyone want to keep playing at higher and higher skill levels and just for the fun of it. Overall great game, good fun for anyone (Even I enjoyed it whereas I'm usually always with Pokémon) ;) I suggest you all try it. And shoot down them bad guys ;)

Love the game Alordo
One of the first FPS I ever played and fell in love with it. Thoroughly enjoyable! The story is engaging and made me want to see it through to the end. The quips and quirks of the NPCs make me want to replay it quite a bit. Especially when you destroy all the wine in the cellar and you get yelled at for it. Some things are annoying. The targeting system overall could use some work, but it's not a game breaker in my opinion. I enjoyed the option of turning blood off and using the "paintball" system to lower the level of violence. Thanks for having it here!
