If you read my review of Rainbow Six on Dreamcast, you may remember me saying how it was a huge downer. You also may remember me saying to "skip R6 and go immediately to Perfect Dark". So now, I'm reviewing Perfect Dark. This is the best reason to have an N64. First off, the graphics are really good.  After Conker's Bad Fur Day, this game most likely has the best N64 graphics. The frame rate is smooth and ultimately, very playable for the 1-player and multiplayer modes. The characters in the cinemas don't move their mouths at all, but so what? Their faces are usually looking at another character or somewhere that the player can't see. The sounds are also very good here. Very realistic sound effects for the guns and other objects and weapons are helpful for creating the perfect mood. But the best parts about the sound are the voices and the foot-step noises. When you walk, you hear your feet moving along any terrain you are on, whether it's snow, carpet, chain link floors or ladders and they match the speed you are moving at. The voices also are very well done. Usually, voices in games are so melodramatic or silly and unserious that they make you hate the characters or wish you were back in the day when voices didn't exist in games. But here, the voices suit the characters so well and they are so serious that they make you care about these characters. You'll feel bad when Cassandra De Vries gets her comeuppance, when you fail a mission resulting in Elvis's (the alien of course)or Daniel Carrington's death, and you'll shed a few tears when Dr. Carrol make his incredibly noble decision late in the game. Another good point is the story. It reminds me of Goldeneye meets The X-Files and it's like watching a movie. And like a good flick, it keeps you engrossed and enthralled until the end. All these points I made are good, but how does the game handle? Even better then Goldeneye did. If you've played Goldeneye before, you'll feel right at home with Perfect Dark. I'm not kidding, I had the controls down the moment I started moving around. Even if you didn't play Goldeneye, you'll still get into this game with relative ease. Plus, the new control methods (like the pop-up weapon menu and simulant command menu) are easy to learn. The best part about this game though, is the mutilplayer mode. There are so many options to choose from and you can play the game however you want to. Along with four human players, you can add up to 8 computer controled characters known as simulants, and again, you can edit anything you want to with these guys. Want to mix body and head types to make for a funny looking character, human or simulant? You can do it. Want to make enemies so skilled that they exceed the performance of real humans? You can do it. One thing though: make sure you get an Expansion Pak (sold seperately)with the game, cause you'll need it to play 3 and 4 player and 1 player story mode. If you have an N64, you must buy this game. You'll love it.
