Perfect Dark
Perfect Dark is a 2000 first-person shooter developed by Rare, a spiritual successor to the studio's genre-defining GoldenEye 007. Players take on the role of secret agent Joanna Dark of the Carrington Institute in a stylish near-future science-fiction espionage thriller involving corporate conspiracy and aliens.
The game expanded on its predecessor with a deep single-player campaign, a rich arsenal of futuristic gadgets and weapons that each featured a distinct secondary firing mode, and an unusually generous multiplayer suite that notably added computer-controlled bots, letting players enjoy combat matches without other people. It pushed its console hardware hard, using an expansion accessory to enable its full range of features, delivering ambitious scope, detail, and a cooperative mode.
Perfect Dark is regarded as a high point of console shooters from its era and one of Rare's finest works. It was later remastered for a new generation with improved visuals and controls, keeping Joanna Dark's debut accessible to modern players.
