So, to break the ordinary schedule of my boring life, I decided to walk to seven eleven AND blockbuster tonight by myself. Well, at blockbuster I rented Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64. (yes i know this system is a bit old) Well, it requires the expansion pak for most of the game but I assumed that it would come along with the game. Well, it didn't. I did read on the package though that you could play a certain one player game without it. Well, this mode isn't much of anything. I was just wondering if anyone has this game and is it any good because I really can't find out without the expansion pak. I have goldeneye and I like that. (both by Rare) Also, are they any other 64 games that anyone would recommend? (I'm too poor and cheap right now to go buy a new system)

hmmmmmm. i only have a 466 mhz. technology doesn't like me. would you say the 1st player aspect of perfect dark is better than goldeneye's? because that's all i'm really looking for. i know they are both supposed to be great multiplayer games, but i really don't have anyone to play them with. and yes, i know how sad that sounds. :)

Perfect Dark is the best game on the N64... the single player is good, but not as good as Goldeneye's... still well worth a purchase.
The multiplayer is fantastic though... even if you're all by yourself. You can put up to 8 bots on the maps (all of them are big, varied, and GREAT) and customize anything and everything, save your setups. Hours of fun just senselessly blowing 8 computer controlled jackasses away. Halo could have used bots... would have doubled the awesomeness of that game.
The 4-player mode is almost unplayable unfortunately because of horrible framerates... the ambition is too much for the hardware, I'm afriad. But the multiplayer is great with two people and a bunch of bots, very playable.

You can also play the single player missions on co-op with someone, which is insanely fun, like Halo.
Man, I haven't played this game in a year... but now I'm Jonesin' for it badly. I'll fire up the ol 64 tomorrow and have a go at it on Perfect Agent, never did manage to beat it all on that setting.

The best thing about Perfect Dark is that when you shoot them in the head, their heads bounce. Excellent if you have one of those thingies that slow down time.

I like using the tranquiliser guns......and how it makes the vision of your oponent all blurry. The more you shoot them the worse it gets!

If I recall well you can pick up ammo all the time, you just have to be economical with it....
If I'm wrong: consult GameFAQs

ophecks, you just said perfect dark was better than mario 64 and zelda, whats going on? perfect dark really isnt all that great, fun multiplayer but little more, worth it though since its dirt cheap.
paper mario, both zeldas, mario, stafox, rayman2, f zerox, space station silicon valley, 1080, wave race, rogue squadron, conkers bad fur day, res evil2, body harvest are all worth getting.

perfect dark is the best multiplayer game on n64 (followed by smash bros maybe?). even without the expansion pack i think you can play 1- and 2-player multiplayer mode and those challenges. someone correct me if i'm wrong. i don't really play video game anymore because the only one my friends ever play is phantasy star online (which i once loved but now find boring)

Yeah, I didn't really mean it... whatever game I'm talking about at a particular moment in time is the ''best game ever''.
Realistically, now that I'm not as excited, I'd only rate Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 ahead of it... Goldeneye at number 4.
Star Fox 64 is great, they sure fucked that series over... Star Fox Adventures was really good, but it WASN'T really ''Star Fox''. And the new one looks underwhelming.

PD is cool. I still plug in now and again and have a game. The graphics are fucking awful - worse than Goldeneye - and the 1 player game is dinstinctly unenjoyable but playing deathmatches on your own kicks ass. King of the hill is a fave. Liked the 2-mode weapons too. Goldeneye still beats it for fun with your mates though, I mean, why didn't PD have the basement on there?

Body Harvest was an excellent game on the N64 (graphics were mediocre but sound and gameplay were top notch)
Who of you here has played this game?

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye are the best first-person shooters on the N64, and two of the BEST shooters EVER.
Perfect Dark Zero is coming to the Xbox......yes. Way to buy Rare Microsoft.

Super Smash Brothers is a sick N64 game, if you have other willing participants.
