Perfect Dark Micro Review

Perfect Dark and I have a history together. You see, this was my LIFE while I was in middle school. Sitting on my friend's water bed (why don't they make those anymore?) playing 4 player split screen, those were the days. Of course when I heard it was coming to 360 Arcade, I counted down the days. I thought, "Finally! This could be awesome online. Those middle school friends of mine are getting further and further away so XBOX Live multi should help!" Unfortunately, I have been unable to test this theory yet, so I will get back to you guys on that. On the plus side, the multi-player is still as awesome as it used to be. You can support 4 player split screen like the old days or make some new friends online.

Gameplay-wise, the controls were a little wanky. The precision of the controls is awkward because the game is not meant for the 360 controller. Often times I got a little sick from moving around. I must say though, the developers knew their crowd based on their controller settings. You can choose to play the classic settings, Spartan settings, or Duty Calls settings. I prefer the Duty Calls settings. It just feels right.

All in all, for 800 MS points, this game is a worthy investment for the nostalgia factor alone, not to mention its a cheap FPS to play with your friends. Needless to say, I'll be playing this for a while.
