I think the timing is right for a revival. It's a shame Rare haven't followed this game up. Zero isn't a patch on the N64 game, but it did sell well. I know this is basic stuff, but I've played games where using the sniper scope is so slow you can't get a shot in or games where the rifles have so much recoil you can't hit anything. The shotgun is powerful, the Jackal and Shockwave are accurate in sniper mode and rifles like Superdragon are fast and balanced. The game doesn't take itself seriously and the weapons and shooting is where it shines. The stealth missions are tedious and even worse than those in earlier games like 'Metal Gear Solid'. The group missions with NPCs are badly implemented and frustrating. It's sort of early 2000s techno and digitized guitars. I know many have said the soundtrack isn't as good as 'Perfect Dark' and that's valid. Space bases that wouldn't be out of place in 'Metroid Prime', Aztec style temples similar to 'Turok' and a nightclub level which wouldn't be miles away from the one in 'Dead 2 Rights'. Like 'Timesplitters' you get a real sense of atmosphere from Zero. Zero has some impressive lighting and environments. Graphically the game is a step-up compared to Xbox and PS2 titles. Perfect Dark Zero couldn't live up to the reputation of N64's 2000 'Perfect Dark'. Zero takes place in the year 2020, predating the original Perfect Dark's storyline by three years, and depicts the events leading up to Joanna Dark's. Perfect Dark Zero is the prequel to Perfect Dark, although it is the second installment in the series. As a bonus a limited edition steelbook was also released. Perfect Dark Zero is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console.
As a launch title it is pretty solid, not quite a killer app, but a highly anticipated sequel to one of the best N64 games. I half-suspect it was developed for the previous gen of consoles PS2, Xbox and Game Cube. Perfect Dark Zero was an incredibly early title for the Xbox 360.
