Perfect Dark, is nearly just that, "Perfect". Rare truly has outdone itself with this game. Everyone who has ever played Goldeneye, knows just how fun a multiplayer first person shooter can be. Especially when it is produced by Rare. I loved Goldeneye. In fact, I gought N64 because of it. I was just waiting for a sequel to come out, maybe for the new bond movie. However as we all know that would become impossible when Rare lost the rights to make James Bond games. And so, not detered by the Bond sell-outs, Rare put on it's thinking cap and spawned the new, Joanna Dark. Her code name being "Perfect Dark". Joanna is an agent for the Carrington Institute, an organization similar to what Bond himself works for, I suppose. The multiplayer mode is just awesome containing so many options and scenarios (Submit a scenario of your own to The Nintendo Index). The Single player mode is very interesting, although sometimes hard to follow, it allows for the introduction of some bizarre weapons..
