Perfect Dark XBL

I never played the original, but completely loved PDZ on the 360's release. I played it a bit to much, despite some people not being too happy with it. I'm really hoping for a sequel, though I'm not holding my breath.
 
I've got PDZ on my shelf that I lent from a friend over a year ago, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Can I expect much?
 
I'm loving this. It took a while to adjust to the controls (auto aim and on screen target off, GE stylee), but now it's all coming back. The weapons and feel of using them is still superb, and gameplay wise it stands up there with anything current i've played. Aesthetically it's obviously dated, but in terms of involving you in the game there is nothing old fashioned here. Infact, PD shows how dumbed down current single player fps have become - they stick you in trainging wheels and sign post everything to the extent that you never have to think or worry about dying. Playing Perfect Dark again is like coming to Demon's Souls after Oblivion. You actually have to work things out and worry about being shot! Crazy talk!

1 hit kill with pistols on facility is still great :)
 
Yeah I agree with you completely Warbie. It's nice to play an FPS that doesn't sign post you to the objectives and tell you exactly how to do everything.
 
Any chance of some screen shots so us non xbox owners can see what this looks like?

Much of a difference from it's N64 incarnation? :)
 
I don't think that the game has aged badly at all, I tried out the demo last night and then bought it straight away, was playing co-op single player with my brother :D It was loads of fun, anyone else think that the game seems a bit fast? I don't remember running so fast!

It's really a pretty good deal for 800 points.

she definitley runs faster but you cant utilise the cbutton diaganol run with the 360 controller so its probably to compensate for that. maybe:p

anyway im loving this, cant recommend it enough. The sound is superb, love the echoey reload sounds when in a large room. its really challenging on perfect agent mode as well.

cant wait to get stuck into the challenges as well

Was I was trying to say was hopefully they'll release this to the masses, then if it does well, then hit us with Goldeneye.

The Goldeneye problem is not one of market acceptance or of intent. If it was then Goldeneye would have been released first, it has already been coded and is pretty much ready to roll out.

The problem is that there are too many problems with licensing and who owns what. To release Goldeneye they need the go ahead from Nintendo and the current Bond license holders. You can see which one of them is the problem.
 
I caved in and bought this after not being one of the 10 random winners in the FM3 VIP TT and I'm not regretting it yet. There's also new PD FM3 TT open to all with 5 random winners plus the top 5 ends 26th March 12:00 PST.
