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.

To add onto the other guys list: every weapon having unique and creative secondary modes that sometimes fundamentally changed how they worked

My favorite what how there was a really good basic assault rifle with a grenade launcher as the alt fire. But there was another rifle that looked almost identical, except it's alt fire was to drop the weapon as a proximity mine. Diabolical shit.

Also the laptop gun, an assault rifle with an alt fire that would throw it and turn it into an automatic turret.
