Perfect Dark
Does anyone else out there think Perfect Dark was a great game that never got the credit it deserved? In my mind, Perfect Dark is a very close second to Halo for the best FPS ever. Granted, the single player mode wasn't great, and the co-operative mode was pretty much worthless, but the multiplayer was amazing. The ability to customize your games was like nothing I've ever seen anywhere else. From which weapons were available and where they were, to the basic gametype, to the intelligence of the bots, you could change everything. The biggest problem for this game was obviously the ridiculous slowdown when you had 2 or more players and many bots. It seems to me that Perfect Dark would be a great title for the X-box. I love palying Halo (I host Halo parties for as many as 12 people with 4 X-boxes and 4 TV's), but I just can't help thinking about the customization of Perfect Dark. Hopefully Halo 2 will address some of these ideas and make an end all, be all FPS. Plus, I would love to have a squad-based FPS which allowed you to play through a mission mode. Imagine the co-op mode of Halo with 4 or 6 people.
Let me know what you think.
