    Thanks to a combination of maximum ultraviolence and stealthy super-spy ninjaness. The frantic, nerve-jangling action and engaging story made you feel like a stealthy pimp every time a punk went down without knowing what hit him. Unfortunately, that was then. Perfect Dark Zero attempts to recapture some of that sneaky mystique found in the original, but rarely succeeds.

    PDZ is easily the most graphically gorgeous first-person game ever seen on a console. But it's the exceptional replay value both offline and on

    The graphics are clean, almost to a fault as virtually every surface displays too much gloss - even on dusty, dirty stonework. The environments display a good blend of natural scenery and human architecture that is consistent with the epoch.

    It's got great weapons and excellent sound effects with visuals that, at times, are just as good. If you're looking for one of the best Xbox 360 multiplayer experiences at launch, look no further than this title.

    This awesome, high-tech first-person shooter champions the Xbox 360 with its excellent assortment of single- and multiplayer game types, as well as its incredible good looks and dynamic, intense action

    Entirely on its own merits, Perfect Dark Zero is not a bad game by any means, but in the context of being as an introduction to the next generation Perfect Dark Zero misses the mark by a disappointing margin. To release a game lacking real spark and inspiration at this stage is not good news for anyone, least of all Rare and Microsoft. Both need to think long and hard about where they go from here.
