Also, a lot of the storyline is silly and over the top, like Mai Hem (pronounced “May Hem”, yes, really) and “Deathmatch Headquarters”, though it’s forgivable for the most part. Those who have played Perfect Dark will appreciate that the game introduces exactly how and why Joanna Dark ended up working for Carrington Industries, though the game doesn’t really do much to introduce Daniel Carrington and crew to those who might not have played the original game. The plot is by-the-numbers, though it does what it does well enough that players won’t really take exception to the lack of depth. Things don’t go according to plan, of course, and Joanna is forced into a plot of mystery, intrigue, and betrayal, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. She, her father John Dark, and their associate Chandra are tasked with saving a scientist from an evil bastard with delusions of taking over the world. Joanna Dark, ace super spy of Perfect Dark fame, is an ace super spy in training this time around. So let’s take a look, you and I, and see if Perfect Dark Zero lives up to the hype. Even so, I was more than happy to pick up PD0 with my 360, if only because I really, really wanted it to be good. So, yeah, it’s Perfect Dark, and yeah, Rare made Goldeneye, but so what? Was anyone really excited for “Grabbed by the Ghoulies”? Were there that many people that missed “Conker’s Bad Fur Day” the first time around? So there wasn’t exactly a good precedent set for Perfect Dark Zero. On the other hand, half of Rare’s staff defected in 2000 to form Free Radical, the company responsible for the “Timesplitters” franchise, and the few games Rare released on the Xbox weren’t exactly taking the gaming world by storm. Not that there isn’t a good reason for all that interest Rare was the developer behind Goldeneye, which is considered one of the greatest console first-person shooters ever made. Rare originally announced the title when they signed on as a developer for Microsoft some four years ago, so there’s been plenty of time to build up interest. Outside of the now delayed Oblivion (sorry, Lee), Perfect Dark Zero is probably the most anticipated launch title for the Xbox 360, and with good cause.
