Perfect Dark is a
first-person shootervideo game developed by
Rare and originally released for the
Nintendo 64 in 2000. It is considered the
spiritual successor to Rare's earlier first-person shooter GoldenEye 007, with which it shares many gameplay features. Perfect Dark was first released in Canada and the United States in May 2000 to critical acclaim;
PAL and
NTSC-J releases followed. A
remake with enhanced graphics, online multiplayer and some other minor changes was exclusively released as an
Xbox Live Arcade game for the
Xbox 360 on March 17, 2010. The game features a single-player mode consisting of seventeen missions in which the player assumes the role of
special agentJoanna Dark, an operative for the fictional Carrington Institute, as she attempts to stop a conspiracy. It also features a range of multiplayer options, including co-operative and "counter-operative" modes in addition to traditional
deathmatch settings. Technically, it is one of the most advanced games developed for the Nintendo 64, with optional high-
resolution graphics and
DolbySurround Sound. In August 2000, a separate game starring agent Joanna Dark, also titled Perfect Dark, was released for the
Game Boy Color. Although set in the same
universe, it follows a separate storyline. With the use of the
Transfer Pak, the Game Boy game allows certain features within the Nintendo 64 version to be unlocked. Perfect Dark Zero, a prequel to Perfect Dark also developed by Rare, was a launch title for the
Xbox 360 in 2005. Perfect Dark: Initial Vector (2005) and Perfect Dark: Second Front (2007) and Perfect Dark: Janus' Tears (2006–07) were published.
