Is Perfect Dark Zero Any Good?
« on: April 22, 2006, 09:22:00 PM »

PDZ single player is fun I dunno what people are refering to it seems alright at the begining but when you get used to it the games a blast. The multiplayer is fun, nothing beats playing on Old Town on Infection and hiding up in the mall or another base it reminds me of dawn of the dead.

I liked MP alot but the SP mode is garbage.  If you like LAN/Live play, give it a run.  If you want a good story, wait for something better to come along.

PDZ is one of the best games I have ever played. FPS with no jumping, now that's realistic

GRAW has no jumping what are you trying to say?

PD0 is a blast online if you find a good group of people, but i HATE the AI they are either retarded or completely hard. You can be hitting them with an AK and they will just pop you with the falcon one shot in the head. or they just lame the mech things

The controls are what really hurt the game more than anything.
People can complain about the single player AI which doesn't matter in an online multiplayer game, but the controls do. And they are sluggish.

I rate the game an 8 out of 10 at best.
It's probably worth the $25 but I'd rent it before dropping $50 on it.
Pick up Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter instead (if you haven't bought it yet)....



 laugh.gif Im confused bro

how can you rate it a 8 and say its only *probably* worth $25?

an 8 is worth full price...

or what I'd rate it...how about 8 minus 6? yeah thats my rating, and thats being nice beerchug.gif

next week I will be giving "Rating 101" for a small fee, have paypal ready!

GRAW is good too, but is a totally different game. GRAW is stratigic FPS and PDZ is not... IT all depends on your preference. IF yuo liek strategy then GRAW is your game, but I prefer Arcade so I like BF2 MC over GRAW

I thought the game was awesome. Multiplayer kicks ass on team deathmatch desert with snipers love.gif Alot of people hate it but I love it. Go rent the game and see for yourself. PDZ is alot better than BF2:MC combat though so if you liked BF2:MC you are going to love PDZ.

Your gonna constantly get responses like its "garbage" or "the multiplayer kicks ass" because the truth is the MULTIPLAYER KICKS ASS! those that say its garbage are ppl that probably didnt give the game or the mulitplayer a chance. They stuck with single player and just written off the game. Nothings wrong with that though cause theyre ppl that just dont care for MP online. With that being said, I DO. I play it alot and it feels different enough for my to keep trying to master it. Rent the game and try it urself.

everyones got their own system, but when you cant afford games, and want them all, your grading scale becomes a lot more thrifty

PDZ was the first game I got, it's hard to get into, the graphics are good but cartoony so a lot of people don't like that. the controls are hit or mis, in First Person view It's great and plays like any other FPS, but whenever you dive, or roll, or hide against a wall it zooms out into 3rd person and I found the games management in switching between the two views very clunky.

Playing through the first two levels on normal difficulty  I was kind of bored and frustrated, even the menu system leading up to the gameplay was confusing as hell (not to mention kind of ugly). But I gave it a 2nd chance, cranked up the difficulty and did local co-op with a friend, we played through to level 4 or 5 and it was fun as hell. Once you get used to the game mechanics and get further into the single player it's much better IMO. I haven't played much past that as I've been distracted with other games, but I still have it and I plan on going back and finishing it at some point (just too many games to play right now).

I'm not much of a multiplayer fan, especially with FPSs but I tried some, Online was a ghost-town when I tried. No one was on the servers. I went into a game with only 2 other people and the level was HUGE. It was still really fun though we were all sneaking around making stealth kills on each other. I can see it being enormous amounts of fun with any amount of players. I even tried setting up a multiplayer match with nothing but BOTS and that was really fun as well. I thought the AI was decent.

It's not a typical FPS, I'd give it an Honest 7.5 (based on my raiting system: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=506483 ) because it does have a few problems, but overall it's a good game and if you're a fan of the old N64 Perfect Dark I think it does it justice.

Don't bother with the LE version, it doesn't include anything really that special, I'd say only get it if you really like LE metal boxes (like me  rolleyes.gif ) All the extra disc has is some gamer pictures and behind the scenes features, theres no extra game content to speak of.

I'd say it's definitely worth $30
