What did you hate about it? For me I hated the voice acting, the story sucked, the game never felt intense to me and the action sucked, I thought the level design was good but it doesn't mean anything when the action itself sucks, and even though the online play was good it just wasn't the kinda game that wowed me like when I first played Halo 2 one year then COD 2 the next and then Gears of War last year.

the voice acting was horrible. there was too many guns, i didnt like that. they focused to much on alot of ppl online then fun online. story mode was just boring, seemed like i was just getting dropped into random places, it was never like one story going to the next. i loved co op though.

Pretty much everything about the single player.

Online multiplayer was great though.

I didn't mind the single player.  It had some fun missions (the jungle missions should have been destroyed for sucking so hard though.)  My only real big complaint was how absurd the difficulty settings where.  Perfect Agent difficulty is so hard, I don't even want to know how hard Dark Agent difficulty is.

I thought it was pretty good. Especially offline multi with a few friends and bots. The single-player is pretty bad, though, for sure.

Craptastic Single Player But best multiplayer game on the 360 in terms of interface, amount of players per game, and depth in selection of game types...

I disliked the gameplay especially when playing against the computer in multiplayer. All they do is roll when you shoot them which is just idiotic! Plus, you had to unload a clip and a half just to kill someone! It was okay until I got to play other shooters that were just a much better experience because they had good, solid gameplay that wasn't hampered by something like PDZ was. It's just a subpar shooter compared to the other ones on the 360.

it was a huge stepback from Perfect Dark. I didn't feel like a spy...everything was too run and gun to be spyish.

Oh, why I hated PDZ, let us count the ways:

(1) - targeting/aiming.  Probably the worst aiming ever on a console.  Yes, you could adjust the values, but there never was a combination of x, y, speed turn, etc. that seemed to work.  Too many - see enemy, move reticle, fire, nudge reticle, nudge reticle, fire, nudge again, fire - moments.  I'm not saying that it needed crappy auto aim, like in Just Cause, just make the movent/aiming more tuned for using a controller.

(2) - the cartoony character models.  They would have been fine, had the entire game had a cartoony feel to it, but the environments were very detailed and realistic, then you get these crappy character models.  Its like the two programming departments never bothered to talk to one another.

(3) - the story.  It tried to be MGS and flopped.  Too many twists and turns, that really had nothing to do with advancing the plot.

(4) - plastic.  Too much plastic.  At least, it seemed like everything in the world was made out of this shiny plastic.  wtf?

To all you haters out there.... If you played the first PD game (N64) and liked it...you would have enjoyed this game. without playing hte first one through many times, you will not get most of this game. This game does have many flaws, but it also has many strong points. I think ppl are to critical of launch titles. P.S. Halo 2 sucked.. if i wanted to play Halo one again, i would just put in the disc. and save 50 bucks.

1) Targeting is the best because it requires skill and practice instead of being easy and noobish 2) The character models are awesome. Rare has a great design team. 3) The story doesn't copy mgs. And mgs needs a good story because the gameplay and replay value are lacking. PDZ has awesome gameplay, options and replay value therefore it doesn't need cheezy mgs style story. BTW mgs is a cheezy kids franchise. LOL 4) The graphics are still the best of any game this generation period (ps3 or 360) 5) PDZ is the best game on 360 and blows away the competition, I have played pdz everyday since launch. Gears got boring after a couple weeks and there hasn't been any games out that can match pdz. PDZ just isn't noob friendly. But if you want the best gaming experience on 360 then play pdz online and get some skills. Then you'll know its the best game ever.

The only memorable thing from PDZ is that "Limelight" song playing in the night club.

My problems were the controls, the muddy graphics and the fact that the Superdragon was the only really fun gun in the game, all the rest seemed too weak and pathetic. The problem, of course, is that the super dragon is therefore overpowered. But really, new games just came out that were much more fun.

:lol:  Do you work for Rare?  To each his own, but I've played hundreds of Xbox and Xbox 360 games and PDZ had the worst targeting/aiming system I've ever played.  For example, when you went to zoom-in on a target, the reticle would magically shift to some other location, thus forcing you to have to re-acquire your target while zoomed-in.  wtf?  To me, GRAW has just about the best controls/aiming on consoles.

no. just no...

i love the original and this is a big step down in almost every catagory from the original... except online play and graphics.

the story sucked, less weapons, the gadgets were pretty much useless, one of the most enjoyable thing was the challenge mode that was taken out so the multiplayer took a little hit.

with how innovative PD was on the 64, there's no reason for Rare to churn out such an average game except to meet a deadline.

I liked it.  The gun choices and all the ammo you had to empty into an enemy at least made it challenging, if frustrating at the beginning.  I had to get used to certain things. Rolling and cover took some time to incorporate. All shooters feel a little different when it comes to AI tactics, aiming, reloading, weapon choices, etc. So nothing made me hate the game--I liked it--but things like the shiny textures, the bad checkpoints and the music took away from it a bit. As far as the shiny stuff, I know it is "stylization" or whatever, but human skin should not look like oiled leather. Incidentally, I think PDZ did jungle combat 100% better than any incarnation of Far Cry.  Way better. Like (the original Xbox) Morrowind, being an early title on a machine that has since had more time to blossom has hurt PDZ a bit, but I enjoyed it more than a few other more popular titles that I won't mention.
