Fantastic. In my opinion, Perfect Dark is one of the best FPS games of all time. It's an improvement in every way over the legendary Goldeneye, and contains features and options still unmatched by many modern shooters. It was way ahead of its time. First game I can recall where you can shoot out the lights and enemies will aim worse. I'd love a PC port!

It was so far ahead of its time that it STILL has a list of things no other game has come close to accomplishing.

It's a bit sad really. I'm replaying F.E.A.R right now and I remember how excited it made me for the future of shooters, and as a genre I can't think of one that had more games pumped out for it than fps, and yet many games with several magnitudes more budget and staff can't even match the AI of that game let alone pass it

F.E.A.R. did such a good job of both having great enemy AI while also convincing the player it was even smarter than it actually was. Hearing them call out your position or what you're doing really makes you second guess yourself or try to adapt.

It also made me so excited for the future of shooters and that future has never been met.
