The Best Gameboy Game Ever

Perfect Dark for the Gameboy is the best. It definetly lives up to the N64 version. If you have a transfer pak, it's even better. Using the transfer pak, you can open up cheats in the N64 version such as the cloaking device, hurricane fists, r-tracker/weapons cache which gives you a radar that shows where the weapons are. It also unlocks The all guns in solo cheat.And that's just the half of it. This promises to be the best Gameboy game ever, or at least the year.

Horrible Game

I got this game b/c the N64 version was so much fun...whoops. On every level, Perfect Dark GBC absolutely stinks. The controls are sketchy, the sound effects pathetic, and...what else? Everything.

The single worst characteristic about this game is the fact that you can't see the enemies in the room with you until it is too late. When you do discover there is an armed guard in the room with you, it is usually b/c he is running towards you with his gun blazing. Bang bang, you're dead.

I could go on and on, but let me just sum it up: THIS GAME SUCKS!

Lives up to it's Nintendo 64 Predecessor

Perfect Dark for the GameBoy Color is a prequel to the hit Nintendo 64 shooter of the same name. It is about the Carrington Institute's best agent, Miss Joanna Dark, a heroine who gives Lara Croft a run for her money. Joanna has just finished training, and is sent on her first mission, to spy on the dataDyne Corporation's South American project. This game is supported by GameBoy Color (with full color graphics), and is one of the first games to be a multiplayer deathmatch for the GameBoy console. You can also hook it up with a GameBoy Printer to print out stickers and mission reports. All in all, this game is going to be the best GameBoy game of 2000. Watch out Pokémon, cuz Joanna's coming to GameBoy Color!

It ain't perfect, but still decent

Perfect Dark was one of the few games on the Nintendo 64 worth playing that wasn't designed for little kids, and while the GameBoy version doesn't hold a candle to its N64 cousin, its still pretty decent. Instead of a first-person perspective like in the N64 version, its played with a top-down version and missions and gameplay similar to Metal Gear Solid. However, there are some major glitches. Targeting your enemy is complete hell, and when you have to use stealth is even more hellish because you never know if the enemy can see or hear you. The good qualities are you can hook it up with another GameBoy for some multiplayer action, but most of the game seems unfinished, and could have been done a lot better. overall, its decent, but far from perfect.

Buy this game

This game rules. It is awsome. It is alittle hard at times but that can be bypassed with good controls, graphics, contols and sound. Buy it if you liked the nintendo version.

When I got this game I thought it would be perfect dark shrunk down. It was hard to get used to at first, the training mode was not very forgiving! When I had mastered the basic controls, I was having a lot of fun. Also when you beat a boss or any other special event, you unlock it in the extras mode, where you can play it again. I really think this is a good game once you get used to the controls and it is one of the best game boy color games. If you liked this game, I suggest Metal Gear Solid(game boy color version). Not only is it a fun game, but it has a smaller chracters, which means you can see a lot of places on the map (YES!!!!) unlike perfect dark, you often get shot in the back from offscreen. I would have to say that metal gear solid is even better than perfect dark because it has around 200 training missions and 13 stroy missions. All in all these two games are must-haves for the gameboy color

This was the biggest letdown ever!!! I was expecting a good sequel to perfect dark but i got a halfrate game boy game. tsk tsk tsk. The only good part is getting codes out of the deal.

Perfect Disappointment

I got Perfect Dark for the N64 the day it came out and was actually surprised that it was better than I had expected. When I saw the same title for Gameboy, I figured it would be a portable version of the great N64 game.

Boy, was I wrong. This is easily the worst game I own. The controls don't work, the sound isn't good, and the game play is horrible. Almost entirely the opposite of what the N64 game was. In fact, really the only thing in common between the two is the title and main character.

In short, if you liked the N64 version, don't bother with this game. If you hated the N64 version, I suppose you might like this.
