Perfect Dark Eurogamer review

Eurogamer writes:

Of all the things I wasn't expecting to stumble across in the XBLA remake of Perfect Dark, Peter Molyneux was quite high on the list. But there he is, the founder of Lionhead, a key creative force behind Populous, Theme Park, and the Syndicate series, waiting patiently in a dataDyne elevator so that Joanna can pop out from a nearby grating and kick him in the head.

Boooo! 10/10.

Good review though clearly this game is still fun to many people.

[The BS Police]

His biggest complaint is how the game developers were not holding his hand when he got lost in the first stage which really isn't difficult to navigate at all.

[bioshock1221]

Seriously but 8 is still a good score definitely gonna get this

[Cueil]

for a game as old as dirt... and older than some of the posters haha

[kwicksandz]

im not one to complain about review scores. but if any game has ever deserved a 10 it is this one. FPS today still havent caught up to its featureset

[ape007]

an 8 (which is a good score) because its an old game and under the xbo xlive arcade name

but in reality this game is a perfect 10 out of 10, I've never played or seen anything like it. period

@BS police, Eurogamer you are a fuking joke,that complain they issued in their so called Review is what make this game so legendary

one of the secrets that made perfect dark so amazing was exploring levels, search for objectives, I guess the reviewer is a lazy @ss modern shooter fan that wants straight lines with checkpoints, moving forward from point A to point B Or arrow guides, the game design is genius, it's wonderful to explore

[Perjoss]

an 8, same score they gave Metal Gear Solid 4, this must be really good then.

[y0haN]

Eurogamer gave MGS4 an 8? Wow, idiots.

[edgeofblade]

8/10 for a 10 year old game with an HD facelift? I'd say that's pretty good.

[RockmanII7]

Because one reviewer has a different opinion than you, that makes everyone associated with him an idiot.

[Claudinho69]

^^ no it just clearly shows thats a idiot move

[jessupj]

To be fair, God of War: Collection got pretty good scores.

But this was the funnest game playing with 4 friends on the N64. Love sticking laptop guns just above a door :D I was a sneaky bastard.

[RockmanII7]

Every game gets reviews that aren't 10's and 9's, nothing to complain about. And my point was that that was one reviewer. How can you say everyone that reviews for that site is an idiot because one reviewer gave a game from 2007 an 8.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

8 IS a Good score for a XBLA title. If you're a fan of GOlden Eye and stuff this is a Good purchase.

[Mo0eY]

But but but Perfect Dark is suppose to be one of the best games for Xbox 360 this year!

Sorry bots, it was good 15 years ago when I played it on my N64. Let's hope Jason 360's big game, Metro 2033, proves to be worthwhile, LOL.

P.S. Murderdolls, give up, man. Rare ain't what they use to be - how many times have I told you that? Just look at Nuts and Bolts - that was by far one of the most highly anticipated games, and it turned out to be such a letdown that I lost all faith in Rare.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I know an 8 that sucks right, looks like it will only be Frozen Rain good but at least better than MAG and WKC :)

[PopEmUp]

just lol, you seem to act like some angel, well you're not. When a game on ps3 got an 8, you sound like some stupid kid ranting and think it like the worses games ever made, but when it come to your belove console games you act like some 40 years old virgin. Get a life dude

[plb]

I don't ever recall anyone saying Perfect Dark going to be the best game of the year. The game has been out for 10 years now this is just a HD remake for XBLA. You sound like an idiot btw

[2FootYard]

Mooey, I'm come to expect better trolling from you. You done gone and let me down boy.

[Droid Smasha]

hes resorted to trolling xbla games hahahaha

[-MD-]

Nuts and Bolts was awesome you clearly didn't play it.

[mcnablejr]

He pmed me a few times thinking that i didnt have a ps3.
i Do have one, Brilliant movie player.

[snesfangirl]

SONY aren't what they used to be. have fun with your hundred dollar wii-mote ripoff from sony. i'd rather have a wii than that thing, especially since now i have a broken bone in my shoulder.

just love how droids say such and such aren't the same anymore, look at the copy cats, aka sony now, then tell me who isn't who anymore. RETARDED DROID.

[edgeofblade]

Rare isn't what it used to be. Totally granted. One of Microsoft's worst business decisions of all time.

However, PD is the cream of the crop of classic Rare. It's great that they resurrected this dinosaur.

[Nicholas Cage]

i guess i wont be getting this game then, i was looking forward to it.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You wont be getting this anyway because you don't have a 360.

[ape007]

your comment make me laugh

[peeps]

you wont be getting it because it got an 8/10... haha ok then

[unknownhero1123]

who are you kidding? I bet you don't even have a 360. everyone knows that perfect dark was the Sh*t back in the day. enjoy your console bias while I play PD next week.

OT: so the reviewer gave it an 8? it's more like a 10 in my book, it's that good. I had fun with the mutiplayer, used to make some nice senarios like alien outbreak, hunting the jedi, fight club, really fun times.

btw, does anyone know the download size?

[Legionaire2005]

This review failed thumbs down lol!!!!

[Mista T]

we all know this game is legendary, so a review won't be necessary thank you very much

[divideby0]

we still play the old N64 games...PD, JFG, WR..
looking at the vids of PD, just made me realize it was to familiar to me to be interested, but those who never played it will enjoy it...just way, way way to many new games to play to even think about this one..FF, GOW, BC2, TheShow....omg...all AAA games in a month

[plb]

This reviewer should go back to playing modern warfare 2 lol 8/10 really? Guess it's impossible for any FPS to top CoD MW2 /sarcasm I'll be downloading this day one.

[DigitalHorror81]

the original N64 Expansion pack is not necessary. :o)

[Another One]

Everyone on this site preaches that reviews don't matter yet when a game gets a bad review you complain and if it gets a good review then it's obviously great. You can't have it both ways. Either they matter or they don't.

PD was an amazing game. I had countless hours of fun playing MP with my brother and a couple other kids from the neighborhood. Good times. I think I might just pick this up. I haven't bought an XBLA game in quite some time.

[corneliuscrust]

they wave their right to identify a bogus review as such?

[Another One]

The point is; if reviews don't matter then why care either way? By saying they don't matter means that whether bogus or fair there is no reason for you to care. So to comment about how bogus it is when you aren't suppose to care kind of contradicts itself.

[MegadethAndy]

I loved this game when on N64, if i had an xbox, i would get it for sure. Looks like a good HD remake.

[knightdarkbox]

this game is much better than perfect dark zero in my opinion..

fact.

[Romeoisburning]

A no brainer purchase.

[cervantes99]

Good score, cant't wait to play it. Embarrassingly, I never played this back in the day.

Now Rare, bring me Blast Corp :)

[MrBuffalo]

New Perfect Dark at e3 I'm sure of it. Rare have been quiet and I bet it has something to do with Natal. The reason why this is out now maybe is just to get people up for Perfect Dark again. Out of curiosty I played Zero the otherday (first time since january 2006! according to the 360 dashboard) and by god its aged badly. I remember it being ok at launch but not up to PGR3 but that game looks terrible now.

[Kos-Mos]

This game is still the best fps out there.
It`s a real shame that rare owns it because it`s only re-released on xbox. I`d kill myself before playing this game with a xbox controller. At least those who made it don`t work at rare anymore. They left when ms bought a falling company.
