Game: Perfect Dark (N64)
SUMMARY:
Perfect Dark is a first person platform shooter game which was released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000. Although the game contains different characters and story lines, it is widely considered to be the follow-up to Nintendo's 1997 game Goldeneye. The reason for the comparison is that Perfect Dark was made by RARE WARE, the same company that made Goldeneye, and consequently, contains many similarities to the older game such as control styles, game design, weapons, multiplayer, and even some of the same levels. The main objective of the game is to hunt down future-based political officials who stand in the way of your organization's top-secret missions.
GAME PLAY:
I used to play Perfect Dark a lot when it first came out. My brother and I played multiple N64 games in the late 90's and early 2000's, but my interest in new games faded as I grew older. However, after not playing Perfect Dark in years, I recently bought the game online and just a week or so ago played for the first time since I was about 13, so my level of enjoyment is a bit higher then usual when playing video games.
The game is incredably fun to play and extremely detailed for its time and system. It's basically an updated and perfected version of Goldeneye. The plot is reminisant of many James Bond films only this time it's set in the future. Your character is Johanna Dark and you are an agent working for a futuristic secret service organization. Your primary goal is to find information and pursue a man named Mr. Blonde who is plotting terrorist crimes.
The first person platform is utilized to full extent, which just enough level design in the game to keep a good balance between over crowding the shooter perspective, and making it too bland and vast. The artificial intelligence in the game is more responsive and realistic then most games which came out at the same time. This would include the A.I. talking, "Why can't we shoot her!?" or "NOOOO!!" and different "death falls" which take place according to where and how you shoot them. (Yes to some this would sound disgusting, but I refer to it not to sound immature, but to give insight on the small details which make the difference between a good game and a great game.) There are many other great features here such as target practice which lets you get accustomed to different weapons, all of which come with secondary functions, yet another great add on. And further more, each gun has its own personal features such as accuracy, x-ray vision, scope, charge shots, and many more. It's a game of many features, all designed to perfection. Time to play on.
