Perfect Dark

By Pirate_Higemaru

Overall Grade: A+

Perfect Dark was released in 2000 for the N64. At the time it was touted as "the spirital successor to Goldeneye". Perfect Dark had a lot to live up to. It had already been delayed several times, it was another game that had to live up to Rare's high pedigree and it also had to worthy enough to be called "Goldeneye's successor". When it was released, it was universally acclaimed. Despite this, it didn't sell nearly as well as Goldeneye did, mostly because the N64 was nearing the end of its life. Fast-forward ten years. Perfect Dark has been released on Xbox Live Arcade. Does it still hold up?

The first and second ones in particular have been called some of the best of their kind. But what about that third game, Donkey Kong Country 3? Is there a reason that it's rarely mentioned alongside it's brethren?
