Perfect Dark Zero Review
Review by: Puppy Kicker
Pros
You play as Agent Zero a female femme fatale who kicks ass and takes names with a total 13 levels in the single player mission, each one in a different local with a good mix of indoor and outdoor maps. The levels are huge and very well designed but are sadly the only thing that makes this FPS stand out from the crowd.  For a first generation 360 game the graphics are crisp but not breathtaking.

In short:
Nice level designs
Decent graphics

Cons
PDZ was billed as the premier launch title by Microsoft in the absence of Halo 3 but fails to live up to the hype.

General game play is nothing ground breaking, typical FPS fare. The enemy AI is pathetic and ruins the action by making it far too easy to mow down enemy after enemy. You get to pilot a jet pack and a hovercraft on a few occasions but again PDZ leaves more to be desired. The sound is so poor it made me turn down the volume on my 5.1 system.

In short:

Poor AI
Mediocre game play
Poor sound and bad music
