Perfect Dark hits Xbox Live

[Alaric14]

Nice little game, value for money, and a pleasant trip down memory lane while conveniently omitting the awful lag of the original.

I don't suppose that troublesome Golden Eye license will be available at any point in the near future for an XBLA release? Pity; together with this it's some of the best work of Rare's early years.

I've been enjoying this so far, it did bring back a lot of memories - I only wish they gave us the option for a fixed crosshair.

I know they're trying to keep it as original as possible - but it forces you to use Auto Aim as you're hopeless without it.

Even shooting the CCTV cameras is tedious, having to set the height and strafe into position - I know the N64 had a very weird controller, but that was ten years ago and the core game mechanics should have been designed to work best on the new hardware. Not to provide the retro thrills of frustrating aiming.


Still, that's my only complaint - I'm loving the rest of the game!

This may be wishful thinking, but I really think Valve should put the original half life on the arcade (possibly as a HD remake) seen as now quite a few other developers are resureccting some of their old, classic games onto xbox live. It could even have online multiplayer! But even so, I doubt such a thing would ever happen..

No southpaw on the demo, so if it's not in the game then I'm not getting it. Where the f**k is Q3 arena?
