It would be a sin to pass this classic game up.
When you think of classic FPS shooters, whether your a hardcore gamer or not, Perfect Dark should be one of the first few games that should appear in your head. If its not one of the first 10 that you think of, please burn every game and system you own and never play games ever again. Perfect Dark may not have been the first shooter or the most unique shooter, but it definitely revolutionized FPS gaming with its multiplayer.
Looking back at the game, the graphics may have significantly dated compared to todays standards, but they really pushed the graphics for the time. Its definitely one of the best looking N64 games for sure. The sound was top notch, too. Perfect Dark was one of the first 64 games to have a full soundtrack and full voice cast, which was a big improvement over Goldeneyes subtitles.
The gameplay was the clear high point of the game. The controls were smooth and comfortable and the game was just a lot of fun to play. No glitches or clunky controls or even faulty AI. Just simple, amazing, fun gameplay that never got boring. And, of course, almost every multiplayer mode designed in this game are still being used in most multiplayer FPS games to this day. The game offered deathmatch, co-op, challenges, and was the first FPS to make excellent use of enemy bots for multiplayer.
Perfect Dark is still a great game and if haven't played it all this time and your an FPS lover, please find a way to play it. Even if the dated graphics and sound irritate you, It would be a sin to pass this classic game up.
