IGN gives Perfect Dark XBLA version a 9.0 (original got a 9.8 on N64 even with all the complaining they say about the game today).
Mostly getting the 8.0-8.5 range from other gaming review websites. Main issues IGN encounters was random freezing during the game while and hated the voice acting but said the offline and online multiplayer modes are well done. |

I'm sure any freezing will be fixed with an update, eventually. Maybe it's just the 360 they used. I've had games freze on me that don't freeze on anyone elses 360.

Because it is a better game than all these health regenerating bullshit shooters we have now.

Ok, what? Perfect Dark had fairly decent voicework, as I recall. I last played the game 3 years ago, so it's not all ancient memories either.

The only voice work I didn't really like was Trent. That was mostly because it was so obvious he was voiced by the same guy as Carrington.
I DL'd the game and did the first couple of missions and had a few online matches. It's all good. My only minor problems are the manual aiming seems trickier/fiddlier than it used to, Trent and Jonathans new faces, apparantly being unable to mix a main characters head with any torso in Combat Simulator and the fact the game doesn't tell you what Leaderboard crowns are. The game shows you what the Avatar Awards and other XBLA unlockable are and it has these other icons in this ingame menu but it doesn't tell you what they actually are. The Avatar Awards are unlocked by SPOILER: show |

The only freezing I've had is when I unlocked the first Avatar Award, the game seized for a few seconds. But otherwise fine so far.
Manual aiming does seem a bit fiddly, but I seem to remember the original was always a little fiddly as well. |

Yeah, the aiming is like 80 times more sensitive than I remember. Had to turn that down since I kept over compensating and missing by a mile. Got 2 of the 3 awards, no Idea for that last on Drakul. Played some of this local. The blur effect from strikes are so much better now and holyshitnoslowdown. Win.

I've never actually completed the game before. I've gotten close but never actually finished it. I thought maybe there were bonus missions after the main game is over. I guess not if no one knows what "special assignments" are.
Rare said they wouldn't remove anything, only add to it but I've found something they did remove. Facial disfiguration. In the N64 game, you could kill someone and then launch a rocket at their face. When the smoke cleared, their face was all twisted and messed up. That doesn't happen in the XBLA version. It's a small, tiny, unimportant detail but it's still something they removed. Also, I got the Paci-fist achievement. It's not as hard as we thought it would be. Another thing, has anyone checked the leaderboards? Everyone's glitching to first place. Someone, yesterday, had done the first mission in seven seconds. It always bugs me when people screw up the leaderboards. Last edited by Drakul; 03-18-2010 at 06:35 AM. |

They also removed Shigeru Miyamoto's head for obvious reasons.

I don't think the heads have as much veriaty as the N64 version did. Most of them have dark, short hair and have a slight smile where as the N64 version had heads with lots of different hair styles and expressions etc. BTW, I thought you couldn't change the heads of the main characters in the Combat Simulator but you can. For some reason you need to choose the head first and then hold down RB and select the body. |

People have found out what Leaderboard Crowns actually are. They are hard "achievements" type things. Someone on YouTube has put up a bunch of videos with them.
The first one: Play the first level on Perfect Agent with auto aim turned off and kill 15 people. To see the rest, you can go to his youtube channel. Last edited by Drakul; 03-22-2010 at 02:02 AM. |

The crown about using the Psychosis Gun on the magnum guard so he can get 5 kills is one of the hardest due to the guard usually gets killed off after the 1st 1-3 kills or at least it was in the N64 version.

Mine was in for about 5 minutes then unplugged it. Didn't hear you.
Started 4vs4 humans against simulants but that was a horror show. With normal sims being 10 times hetter than us and the constant explosions, it was lag o riffic. Played a little more and I finally know how to tweak my limits so next time we'll be good. If I didn't quit that hacker game, we would have been there all day. So yeah, gunna add more sims. But this time they'lll all be on easy. |

Fuck me, those sims were crazy that first battle. I think the problem is that the hardware they draw their AI from is like 80000 times more powerful than the N64, so they're like that much better at processing ass whoopery. I got killed by a big group of sims, watched them book it as I died and respawned only to be killed by the same group as soon as I could move.

I know. In the N64 version normal sims were pussy bitches. Also, was your aiming sensitivity too high by default? Had to turn that down.

I have 32 guns and at least a bronze for each in the firing range yet I got no achievement. Does the psychosis gun count or something?

Some of the boards are saying it's glitched but mine popped up instantly. Pshycosis gun does not count. Recount them, make sure you have all 32. If you do, you'll have to wait for the update they're working on.

Whoever gets that "all challenges" achievement is a cheater. There is no way. Tried to beat some of the harder ones with G and Funky but we got our asses handed every time. Funky and I managed to just barely squeak out a win but there is no way we can get all of them everything has to go 100% right in order to even have a chance.
Like challenge 18. All you really need to do to avoid Elvis is find the cloaking device and laptop gun and make getting those your first priority instead of the hill. Then go for the hill, deploy the sentry, cloak, and you should have it. But it has to be done every single time. There's no way. |

Does the old "cheat"/glitch still work for the challanges on the XBLA version of Perfect Dark? I've been just playing the single player since getting it yesterday to see how much changed with the new controls and remake they did.
This is from the N64 version of Perfect Dark : Quote:

If you have a save file from Perfect Dark Zero, you automatically unlock 4 cheats in Perfect Dark XBLA (All Guns (Solo), Cloaking Device, Hurricane Fists, Weapon Stash Radar).
The N64 version got those cheats automatically if a transfer pack was used with the Game Boy Color version of the game. |
