- The Nintendo 64 is my favorite console of all time and I have fond memories of many games that I played on this classic machine. I was too young to enjoy GoldenEye, but when its spiritual successor in the form of Perfect Dark came out, I played it a ton. Though I think that game has not aged all that well, it still is remembered by many and thus there was much anticipation when the first launch title for the Xbox 360 would be Perfect Dark Zero.
I remember it getting quite good reviews all across the board from the usual review sites and so I bought it as my first 360 title. Yet even then I could sense that something was up and have never been able to play more than half the game without quitting.
Now it has been over a decade since I last played Perfect Dark Zero and so I thought it would be a great idea to pick this game up again and add it to the archives. I could then also try to pinpoint what exactly it was that I did not like about it back in the day. And oh boy....it all came back to me at once. The biggest problem with the game are its controls. They are incredibly sluggish and inaccurate. Even to the point where I thought it was me, but after rebooting tightly controlled games like Halo 3 and Gears of War I can say with confidence that it's Perfect Dark who is to blame for these horrid controls. Level design is also sometimes confusing and all over the place. It felt really sluggish playing through this campaign, but I have finally completed it. So I am glad that we can now finally archive this game so it won't ever be lost to time, but I don't think I will go back to this game any time soon.

I remember this is one of the first games I played after getting a 360 and was amazed by the shiny graphics lol. I played the multiplayer so much. It aged horribly but it's still nostalgic for me.
Realy loved it the multiplayer best wapons were jackle. super dragon and the frisbee 🤣 and infection was the best
Agreed
the only clowns that say this game was bad are those that werent there on launch. it was magic back then. a breath of fresh air from Halo 2 and I dont remember going back to Halo 2 after that point.
I remember playing this and thinking ~ "What? This isn't perfect dark!" It does not match the aesthetics of the original game. Still a good game.
That's because this is a newer prequel so everything looks younger than the original old game. 😉
my childhood
I love this game as well as Kameo: Elements of Power.
I own Kameo too so I should definitely archive that someday! ; )
Did you ever get a higher grade than F in Kameo? 😏
I ask you because I played it with my best friend and no matter how hard we tried and how many times we replayed the levels, we got F every time! 😅
I have fond memories of playing the infection mode splitscreen with my friends
This is a graphical wonder for 2006, it doesn't look a million miles away from CP2077
15:55 man this has halo CE reload sounds lol
Well, both games were published by Microsoft so it is possible that they use common resources. 😉
@@Maxime_MartyrSame sound in GoldenEye, the first Perfect Dark, the TimeSplitters trilogy, a lot of games and even movies, it may be a free sound sample =)
Man, I don't remember this game being so slow-paced. Is it your recorder, or does the game really run that slowly? Think I'm starting to remember why I liked the N64 title a lot better.
I just went back to play both games. I got perfect dark zero when the Xbox 360 launched and I enjoyed it back then
But now after playing each game back to back I can’t stand how clunky and slow perfect dark zero is. I stopped playing during the boring tutorial and declared it’s not worth it
@@TheBradleyBliss Wow, I'm amazed at your inability to adapt to different games. 😅
I played many games of all kinds, not all of them conformed to the same standards, and I learned to adapt to each of them then once I got used to each, I thoroughly enjoyed every each of them. 😆
You said that you enjoyed Perfect Dark Zero when you first played it but that you couldn't stand it anymore when you played it right after another game, right?
Then the reason why you didn't enjoy it anymore was because you got used to another game with another pace and other controls and you refused to adapt to something different because you expected it to be the same that the other game that you played before, this inability to adapt will make you miss out many original games because they don't conform to standards that you are used to.
So how about you play Perfect Dark Zero again but this time, you accept the fact that it is different from what you are used to and learn to adapt to it instead of expecting it to conform to your standards then tell me if you were able to enjoy it then? 😉
@@Maxime_Martyrwhy do you care enough to write that much lmao
@@cameronguitarhero Actually, I didn't write THAT much, you should see some of my other comments if you actually think THAT is much for me. 😏😉
@@Maxime_Martyr yeah I saw, kinda odd
2:01:42 player finally remembers that in this game all guns have a secondary function.
Да по графике эта игра и сейчас не плохо выглядит,как они это сделали в 2005 году, визуально она прекрасна) детализация оружия удивляет...играл в неё лет так 18 назад 😅
Whoever made this game did not understand what made the first game good at all.
That’s because the timesplitters devs (free radical design) where involved in Goldeneye 64 and in perfect dark 64, but not perfect dark zero that’s why this game sucks so bad
What made the first game good according to you?
@@demariw1004 You suck because I played Perfect Dark Zero and I enjoyed it thoroughly, you just don't accept things which are different from what you expect them to be. 😏
By the way, why did you write "Goldeneye" with a cap but you didn't put any cap to any other name that you wrote? 😅
Please tell us what made the first game good in your opinion?
Why don't you tell us, sweetie?
This art style would have fit literally almost any other game but Perfect Dark.
Good job I didn’t play it then. 😊
Game brings back memories.
There was something so satisfying about the weapons and aesthetics, (at least...according to me), in this game...but the combat was so tough sometimes because of how clunky the controls could be. I really wish this game was made for PC and featured more of a Half-Life 2-type control system instead of the GoldenEye-type it went for.
I think that was the purpose to keep the original Perfect Dark's gameplay instead of conforming to the modern standards and I didn't mind it when I played it since I was used to TimeSplitters. 😏
Do you really want everything to be the same?
Can't you learn to appreciate originality and adapt to it? 😉
@@Maxime_MartyrStop being a weirdo
14:37 why this Guy Jumps Like Penguin? :D
that one guy is supposed to sound like sean connery i think
Here after the xbox showcase
Same lol
2:07 thank god i saw this video, i was stuck on this part
With that being said, i don't have game pass anymore,but im planning to buy the disk version for pd zero
Bruh I remember being stuck in a place it seems it would be the bar but I can’t be that slow to not take the stairs. Maybe I went into the wrong building lol I can’t remember
Nostalgia😢
I know right?! 😃
PD0 was technically impressive for its time, but did not feel anything like the original or Goldeneye.
The gameplay feels like TimeSplitters Future Perfect.
More like a worse version of it
I seen this game in trailer I was little in Xbox live
n64 best console
Amen to THAT!
@@thegamearchivist I played both and I preferred PS1. 😏
Nah, PS3 = Best Console, Ever!
2024 Anyone

Perfect Dark video game 2005 Date😮😥😲🤔😰
46:00
Как же больно видеть стрельбу с геймпада, кринж какой то...
barg off...
The tutorial at the beginning is so incredibly lame.
☠️🎩
Worse 2nd version of a good game ever made total trash would play and still do play pd on n64
I don't understand why everyone despises this game while I remember it fondly since I was basically in love with it when I played it back on X360.
I never played the first Perfect Dark on N64 however I did play GoldenEye 64 when I was a teenager then the TimeSplitters trilogy on PS2.
Then when I played Perfect Dark Zero on X360, it got me so hooked that I just couldn't stop playing it for days and weeks and I even played the cooperative campaign with my best friend with who I had previously played the TimeSplitters trilogy's cooperative campaigns and we had just as much fun playing Perfect Dark Zero that we had playing the TimeSplitters trilogy! 😆
Just watching this video triggers my own memories of playing this game myself decades ago and reminds me of how much I enjoyed it. 🥲
Players usually compare Perfect Dark Zero to Halo 3 just because both are FPS on X360 which I don't understand because they are nothing alike and I think comparing them is as (ir)relevant as comparing TimeSplitters and Call of Duty just because both are FPS on PS2 even if they are nothing alike!
I actually played Halo 3's cooperative campaign with my best friend then once we finished it, we never ever played the game ever again because we were bored with it as opposite to the TimeSplitters trilogy and Perfect Dark Zero that we replayed regularly for years because they were so fun that we couldn't keep away from them for long. 😏
In my personal opinion, Halo is nothing special, it is a generic AAA game like so many other generic AAA games, even its own ancestor Marathon was more original than it.
To be fair, the first Halo and Halo 2 might have been innovative, however Halo 3 and next just rince and repeat the same formula again and again like every other AAA series such as Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's, Kingdom Hearts, The Sims, they all were original at first then became endless series of generic games which rince and repeat the same formula forever.
Whereas innovative games like Perfect Dark Zero contain much more personality than generic endless series of repetitive games.
As for Gears of War since The Game Archivist compared Perfect Dark Zero to it, I played the trilogy's cooperative campaigns with my best friend and just like Halo 3, we were done with these games as soon as we completed the campaigns, we never replayed them because they didn't impress us, their gameplay consist in moving from ambush area to ambush area, taking cover and shooting waves of incoming hostiles until the area is clear then we move to the next ambush area and rince and repeat for the whole trilogy, the characters are muscle-brained soldiers with barely any personality so they are quickly forgotten, just like the games in which they are. 😏
About Perfect Dark Zero, I have no idea how you can ever get lost in a game which shows you the way with arrows on the ground so your confusion with the level design is on you I'm afraid. 😅
To sum it all up, I think this game is not appreciated as it deserves for its originality and personality because players are too used to generic AAA games and can't appreciate originality when they find some because they compare everything to the mainstream, which causes them to miss a lot of nice niches. 😉
lmao jesus
@@cameronguitarhero See? 😉
And THAT is still not much for me, that is merely an average size comment in my standards, that size is FAR from my longest comments when I REALLY have A LOT to say about a topic. 😏
If you are already overwhelmed with that much then you are not ready to engage into a long discussion with me, I'm telling you, lightweight... 😼
@@Maxime_Martyr yeah that's odd
@@cameronguitarhero You amuse me with your tiny ability to handle discussion and quick overloading, that's cute, you are like a clueless child who talks to a wise grown-up, that's actually funny! 😂
