That is to say: precise aiming doesn’t work, but if you let go and just let the auto-aim do its thing, you’ll do just fine. The auto-aim is a handy feature in Perfect Dark HD, since the crosshairs behave the same as they might have on a single analog stick. You’ll pick up a load of neat weapons that have cool alternate fire modes for maximum damage (well, okay, some of the guns have “pistol whip” as their alternate fire mode). The gameplay resembles an N64 era shooter, wandering aimlessly to memorize rather short levels to complete objectives. Also, the original music is intact - but is now present in stereo. It was more endearing than detracting from the experience. You even make a trip to Area 51 to rescue a rather hip Maian named Elvis.įor the original Perfect Dark fans: The goofy stiff animations which include rolling, shooting behind while facing forward, wide stiff gestures for miming story, and no facial animation is still present. There is infiltration, disguise, rescue and sabotage missions that come from the Carrington Institute to help these Maian Aliens out. The Carrington institute is on the same sides as the “Maian” aliens, who look like the traditional grey, big eyed aliens of tabloid lore, against the DataDyne corporation who is paired with a race of reptile aliens called Skedar. There are two rival factions that take sides of two alien races. I can honestly say that a lot of my Goldeneye Nostalgia was there, but my co-op buddy was the one that was remembering the good old days with evil turrets and Elvis.įor those unfamiliar with the world of Perfect Dark, you don the role of Joanna Dark, agent of the Carrington institute. We love to replay the things that we played when we were younger gamers, but just how well do some games hold up to the test of time? We played Perfect Dark HD on the Xbox Live arcade, and put the Nintendo 64 classic to the test using one nostalgic gamer, and one piece of fresh meat together in co-op.įor the record, I was one that played Goldeneye, but never played Perfect Dark to begin with - so this was an entirely new experience for me. If there’s anything gamers are guilty of, it’s nostalgia blindness.
