From MS Game Studios and Rare, Ltd., comes PERFECT DARK ZERO for the Xbox 360. A first person shooter set in the future, PERFECT DARK ZERO is set after PERFECT DARK, the Nintendo 64 hit that players loved. The storyline, a prequel to events that happened in the first game, doesn’t assume players know heroine Joanna Dark and her bounty-hunting ways. She and her father, also a bounty hunter, once again find themselves drawn into events that span the globe and over a dozen different missions. Joanna has a huge number of weapons at her disposal, including submachine guns, pistols, rifles, and more high-tech, futuristic weaponry. Each is very realistic, as is the damage it does. One of the unique aspects of PERFECT DARK ZERO is the way enemies react. Being shot in the hand, for example, will cause an enemy to act differently than if he were shot in the leg or the chest. Players can play through the story mode by themselves or cooperatively with a friend. Once the story mode is done and all the extras it includes are unlocked, players can test their skills in the combat arena in a number of modes. Up to 32 players can battle it out online, or players can add computer-controlled bots to play against. The original PERFECT DARK introduces a sci-fi world and spunky heroine that players loved, and its sequel, PERFECT DARK ZERO, keeps up the action, giving players more weapons, more challenges, and more great fun.
