Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"

Bond · 11-22-2005, 05:51 PM

"This awesome, high-tech first-person shooter champions the Xbox 360 with its excellent assortment of single- and multiplayer game types, as well as its incredible good looks and dynamic, intense 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."

Full review here.

So, where are all the naysayers now? I'd assume they're going to mysteriously disappear like they always do.

I'm diggin the game!!!!!!!!

Typhoid · 11-22-2005, 05:57 PM

I've never played it, and highly doubt I ever will.

But I've always thought this game would be good.

And even if it isnt good, the first games released for a new system usually are the worst gameplay and graphics wise anyways.

But I think the game would be good, so meh.

*disappears*

Fortunately, I wasn't really with the naysayers this time. Well actually I was, but I didn't open my mouth. On this forum.

Well they are...

...not like I played PD or Goldeneye for N64 either...though hear they were good...actually besides Conker (which I liked) and Banjo-Tooie (which I didn't) I haven't played any other Rare games. Just know their GCN run was poor.

Lets go back in the past to some of the aforementioned naysayers who were again proven wrong:

Dyne: "I admit I'm interested in it but I just don't think it'll have the polish rare's previous works had."

GameMaster: "I'd say this is the final nail in the coffin for Rare."

gekko: "Can it get any worse?"

Jonbo: "Poor Rare...what happened to you"

Canyarion: "What's Rare again?"

Jason1: "Rare obviously went downhill since leaving nintendo."

bobcat: "Rare?

Who's that again?"

Link1130: "I personally can't help but see Perfect Dark Zero becoming anything more than a letdown."

Null: "i'd be willing to bet money it will be a let down."

AzeaL: "I Can't Remember What Perfect Dark Was, Wasn't It That One FPS Game On n64 Where You Needed That Special Doo Dad To Play Campaign?"

Jason1 · 11-22-2005, 08:38 PM

Yea, maybe I jumped the boat a little too early so to speak...I mean...did they release ANYTHING worth a **** on Xbox? And how long did they have with the system?

Not to mention, just how long was PD0 in development for? 5 years? It might not have been quite that long, but I'll bet its damn close. When a game is in development that long, if its not good, then there is something seriously wrong with the people making the game, and I dont care that it started as a gamecube project.

Anywho, we all knew Rare is a very talented development house, so this dosent really suprise me. But looking back at what they accomplished on Xbox, I dont think any of our comments were un-justified.

The good-natured tone of the film and the wonderful comedic talents of the entire cast -- especially Carell -- make the gross-out moments charmingly relatable.

An unconscionably funny sex farce that, by its end, turns into a tender and honest romance, an acute portrait of loneliness and, believe it or not, a musical."

Since Bond is/was an AOL user, I've got an AOL keyword for him: ****ing Hypocrite

Would you like a side of french fries with your pwnage?

1. I'm a Time Warner cable user.
2. It still looks like a flaming piece of ****.
3. I'm not documenting one single comment, but rather years of anti Xbox/Xbox 360 rhetoric.

I still stand by my opinion. But then again, I left it ambiguous on purpose.

Teuthida · 11-22-2005, 08:54 PM

HAHAHA. If rep was still around GM would receive a heaping helping of rep-fandu.
