Item Description

Following GoldenEye 007 was close to an impossible job, and Rare's answer was to build something bigger, stranger and far more ambitious. Perfect Dark trades James Bond for Joanna Dark, a rookie agent of the Carrington Institute, and drops her into a near-future conspiracy that starts as corporate espionage against dataDyne and spirals into an infiltration of Area 51, a kidnapping plot aboard Air Force One and a hidden war between two alien races. Across 17 main missions the objective-driven design GoldenEye made famous grows more intricate, and the higher difficulty settings add new objectives rather than simply adding tougher guards.

The arsenal is where the game shows off. Nearly every weapon has a secondary function: the Laptop Gun unfolds into a deployable sentry turret, the FarSight XR-20 can see and shoot through walls, the Dragon assault rifle doubles as a proximity mine and the CMP150 can lock onto several targets at once. Spy gadgets like the CamSpy fill out the fantasy, and between missions the Carrington Institute serves as a hub with a firing range and device lab for getting comfortable with the toys. An optional high-resolution mode and Dolby Surround sound show how hard Rare was pushing the hardware, and most of the game is built around the N64 Expansion Pak.

Then there is the Combat Simulator, the mode that kept Perfect Dark in N64s for years. Up to four players share the screen with computer-controlled Simulants, bots with personalities ranging from cowardly to vengeful, across scenarios like King of the Hill and Capture the Case, with weapon sets, arenas and rules all open to tinkering. The campaign supports co-op for a second player, and Counter-Operative goes one better by handing that second player control of the enemy soldiers trying to stop Joanna, an idea that still feels clever today.

Perfect Dark later led to the Xbox 360 prequel Perfect Dark Zero and a remastered re-release, and its multiplayer suite is still talked about as one of the deepest of its generation. The 2000 original, scored by a team that included Grant Kirkhope, is where Joanna's story began and where Rare's late-era N64 ambition is on fullest display. Think of it as the natural next step once you have worn out Facility and Temple in GoldenEye: a sci-fi spy thriller that took everything about that game and kept going.

About the game

Perfect Dark is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 video game console. It is considered the spiritual successor to Rare's earlier first-person shooter GoldenEye 007, with which it shares many gameplay features. Perfect Dark was first released in North America on 22 May 2000; PAL and NTSC-J releases followed soon afterwards. A separate Game Boy Color game, also titled Perfect Dark, was released in August 2000 as a supplement to the game and allows certain features within the Nintendo 64 game to alternatively be unlocked via a Transfer Pak. The game features a single-player mode consisting of 17 main missions in which the player assumes the role of Carrington Institute agent Joanna Dark as she attempts to stop a conspiracy by rival corporation dataDyne. It also features a range of multiplayer options, including a co-operative mode and traditional deathmatch settings. Technically, it is one of the most advanced games developed for the Nintendo 64, with an optional high resolution graphics mode and Dolby Surround Sound.
