The Much loved N64 game Perfect Dark is due to touch down on the X-box sometime in the near future.


And if The N64 version is anything to go by then This version ought to be a "Rare Treat". *Cough* Exuse The Pun.


Perfgect Dark is just one of those games whether you either love it to bits or you hate it's dusty circuits.

Perfect Dark Is a game which was originally developed by RareWare and considered by most to be the most thrilling shoot em up game ever.


Perfect Dark had a rather Unique First person veiw to the N64.
The reason being that not many shoot em ups on the N64 have a first person veiw.

The main talking point of Perfect Dark was that It had high quality Graphics and very addictive gameplay.
Even though you needed a Memory Exspansion pak in order to play Perfect Dark to it's full Capapilities it was still a fantastic game.
one thing that was carried from Goldeneye to PD was the Difficulty level Idea.
Which has always worked out well for me.
PD also had an easy to navigate pause menu.
It saves a lot a grief and a lot of scrolling through weapons.
Perfect Dark on the N64 was by far the best Game on the N64.


But now times are changing and we must move on with technology.
And so brings Perfect Dark to the X-box.

I think that by bringing PD to the X-box will give a huge booost to X-box sales.
Why?
Because of Perfect Darks popularity and past sucsess.
But it may result in many Ninty fans turning to the "Dark Side Of The Force" but that's unlikely.

We don't know if PD on the X-box will be any good or not but when it arrives we're sure to find out.So Ninty Fans hold on tight cos we're in for one hell of a ride.

Hmm... PD on Xbox...

I liked the look of that on N64, so it could be one to get - if they do a good conversion!

that would be a brill idea.

also if GC is the last console they may as well so everyone gets the chance foe good games and , with me being a nintendo fan, i dont really mind its just the dump few who will go on about how nintendo would be rubbish with out them.

and one more thing nintendo own most of their mascots and 49% of the company so they would get nearly half the profits the games would sell on the other consoles.

I know this would be very unlikely but wouldn't it be great if Rare moved on and made their own console.

Still... if the GC does turn out to be Nintys last console... where then for Rare?

Developing games under the Nintendo software umberella?
Staking out on their own?
