Perfect Dark 2000

Is it still worth playing?

Rare's 2000 first person shooter with stealth elements for the Nintendo 64, in which you play Joanna Dark and infiltrate the dataDyne skyscraper. Later missions take place in Chicago, Area 51 and on Air Force One. Joanna can lean, crouch, crawl and drop from ledges but cannot jump. Her health does not regenerate, shields act as a second health bar, damage depends on where you hit, and enemies can be disarmed at close range. Its weapons add options, since many have a secondary fire mode and some can be dual wielded. The missions have nonlinear objectives on three difficulty levels. Around them sit co op, Counter Operative, in which a second player controls a guard, and a Combat Simulator for up to four players plus bots. Missions built on objectives, and a large multiplayer toolkit, still give it more depth than a straight shooter today.
