Graphics are great, but that's where it ends.

User Rating: 3.5 | Perfect Dark Zero X360
As the console's first first person shooter, a lot was expected from it. Before it came out the screenshots looked great and gameplay looked compelling, so it was one the games I was most looking forward to for the XBOX 360. I put a reserve on it and was in line at midnight to buy it, but when I brought it home, I could not have been more disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, the graphics were still great, not amazing, but great. I loved the way each weapon looked as well as each friend or foe. Scenery was great, too. But the problem is, after a while, that was the only reason I kept playing. The story was very typical of many FPS: kill everything in sight and beat the big bad guy. Sound wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. Multiplayer was fun for a little while, but it became boring after a while. But despite all these things wrong with the game, there was one thing that could have potentially saved it: gameplay. But, this is where I believe the game lacked the most. Everything about the gameplay was so boring and typical. Running was incredibly slow and you can only carry up to 3 small guns, one small and one medium, or just one big gun. Levels were completely linear and It never really made any sense what my next objective was, but after I killed enough people, I seemed to have acomplished my mission. I'm giving this game a generous 3.5, merely because of the graphics and multiplayer aspect of the game. If you really want to play it, don't bother renting it. You can go to any Gamestop and purchase it used for less then $5.
