Perfect Dark is a series of First-Person Shooter video games originally developed by Rare, initially created as a Creator-Driven Successor to Rare's previous FPS classic GoldenEye. Rare had failed to secure the James Bond license for a second game, but the Goldeneye development team had little interest in making another James Bond game regardless, having already decided to start work on an original FPS title with more of a sci-fi bent instead. The Perfect Dark series takes place in a MegaCorp dystopian future and stars Joanna Dark, an agent for the Carrington Institute, and her efforts against the rival dataDyne Corporation.The first game, Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64, takes place shortly after Joanna has graduated the training program, and is sent to meet an insider from the dataDyne corporation. The events that unfold quickly reveal a plot against the US President involving dataDyne, the NSA, and a mysterious third faction. Things rapidly become more complicated and she soon finds herself in the middle of a war between two alien races who have allied themselves with different factions on Earth. It would end up being the first M-rated game ever to be distributed by Nintendo, creating some light controversy among consumers and industry analysts due to this clashing with the company's family-friendly image.Released the same year was a now all-but-forgotten Game Boy Color game that, despite having a title that was identical to the N64 game, was a prequel showing Jo's training and first mission with the Institute. Rather than being a straight-on FPS title like the other games, is played mostly from an overhead view with Metal Gear-inspired gameplay, along with some stages involving flying/driving vehicles from a similar top-down perspective, arcade-style first/third-person shooting, and even Simon Says-esque memory puzzles mixed in. It also has full-motion cutscenes and digitized voice-acting provided by much of the same cast as the N64 game.The third and final game in the original Rare trilogy, Perfect Dark Zero, was a launch title for the Xbox 360 following several delays and platform shifts. Another prequel, Zero is set 3 years before the original and has Joanna working as a bounty hunter with her dad, setting out on a mission to rescue a defecting dataDyne scientist, before getting mixed up with the Carrington Institute. While well-reviewed, fans deemed it an underwhelming follow-up to its predecessor. In March of 2010, the original game was rereleased for Xbox Live Arcade, with new features such as updated graphics with 1080p resolution and eight-player online multiplayer. Both console games were later re-released again for Xbox One on 4 August 2015 as part of the Rare Replay compilation.The time period in between the two games is covered in a pair of novels, Initial Vector and Second Front, as well as the comic series Janus Tears.After being dormant for fifteen years, a new installment in the series, simply titled Perfect Dark, was announced in 2020 for the Xbox Series X|S. Rather than being developed by Rare, it is the first project of Microsoft's new first party studio The Initiative, and has been described as a "AAAA" game. | |

Hotter and Sexier: Here is Joanna in the N64 version.◊ Here is Joanna in ''Perfect Dark Zero''◊, showing tons of cleavage. (She was on the cover of FHM magazine◊ (!)) For the Xbox Live remaster, they went back to her conservative way of dressing, but still couldn't resist dolling her up a bit.◊ Maybe playing a sexpot just appeals to the female (and woman-loving) audiences more? | |

Cherry Tapping | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: Tranquilizer weapons in the first game. The sedation feature, which causes the screen to blur and darken each time you're punched or hit by a tranq weapon, is one of the quirkier features of the game, largely because your sedation level doesn't drop to zero when you're killed. You'll respawn as trippy as you were before your buddy finished you off. Better hope it wears off before he finds you again! The N-Bomb (Neutron Bomb) is a special grenade that explodes with a very persistent, light-absorbing sphere of energy that can completely mess up your vision and kill you (albeit very, very slowly). It is also the only weapon in the game that bypasses shields. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: The first mission requires you to break into Cassandra's office to knock her out and steal her necklace. What's stopping you from just blowing her brains out so that she can't cause any further trouble for the Carrington Institute? Her necklace has a code key to access the basement laboratories, and it will only operate while she's still alive. On Perfect Agent in "Carrington Villa: Hostage One", one of your objectives is to knock at least one guard unconscious instead of killing him so that he can be captured/interrogated later. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: You can actually (and on higher difficulties, have to) encounter the Disc-One Final Boss in the very first mission. You can freely gun her down, but it will fail the mission and prevent you from progressing. (The In-Universe justification is that she has a key you need to get into the secret lab, but it will stop working if she dies - and the mission's intro cutscene even tells you as much!) Rarely, mission objectives will have (non-obvious) timers; two big examples in the same mission are the taxi and the limo on the Chicago stage. You need to bug both of them, but the taxi will leave permanently only a short time into the mission, and the limo will depart a short time after (they'll also both leave if you make too much of a ruckus.) Didn't bug them before they depart? Mission failed, abort and try again. Also in the Chicago mission, you need to create an opening to sneak into the secret base. If you just casually waltz into the guards' line of sight, they'll permanently lock the door; mission failed. Obviously, any mission where you need to keep plot-critical NPC's alive will fail if they die. You need a disguise to infiltrate Area 51 in the second self-named mission. If you get the disguise, but then botch it by raising the alarm anyway, you can't get into the room you need to to complete the mission. Time to restart! In the start of that same mission, you need to escort a hovercrate to a weakened wall to blast an opening into the base itself. You have to move it through a warehouse full of enemies. The crate is fragile, and there is only one. You do the math. However, you can still pull it off if you lose the crate, by throwing the assault rifle in proximity mine mode next to the marked wall, then shooting it with another gun to detonate it. In the Airbase missions, raise the alarm in the airbase before you've infiltrated it, or on Air Force One before you've proven the conspiracy to the President (or don't have the evidence when you do, or leave before you present it, etc.) will turn the level hostile and prevent you from finishing. | |

Regenerating Health | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_1f92e4c6 | comment |
Regenerating Health: Perfect Dark Zero has a unique version where most damage you take being "shock damage" that will go away if you aren't hit again after a short period, with a small amount being lost forever every time you get shot. Combined with a complete absence of health kits or other healing items, and you can eventually end up stuck with only a sliver of health towards the end of a level if you get shot a lot. Furthermore, each weapon has different levels of shock damage. Viblade? Say goodbye to your health permanently. Fell a long way or getting poisoned? All Shock Damage. On the hardest difficulty, all damage is permanent. In the original game, this is how you recover from poison/punching/N-Bomb effects. In fact, you have to actually walk it off; the effects don't fade if you just stand still. | |

Bloodier and Gorier | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: The blood is ramped up quite a bit from GoldenEye, where enemies bled if shot, but it just stained their clothing. In Perfect Dark, they often leave bloodstains on various surfaces; if you shoot an enemy in the head, blood will spray all over the wall opposite the direction from which you shot them. Enemies dealt lethally by the player often have a puddle of blood form under their corpses. This is partly why it was rated M when Golden Eye was only rated T. | |

Dark Sims turn the cheating to an art form; they move faster than a human player, fire their weapons faster, have frame-perfect reactions (to the point it's not unheard of to take hits before they even visibly round a corner) have full, real-time knowledge of both all players' locations as well as weapon spawns and timers, reload faster than humans and, most damningly of all, can full-on teleport when out of all humans' lines of sight. It's worth noting, the Sim description explicitly describes them as having superhuman capabilities that break the rules of the game, and warns that fighting them is only for the most capable of players. | |

Hurl It into the Sun: Averted. Millions of years ago the advanced Cetans, as part of a disarmament program, agreed to scuttle their nuclear force de-coupler (a superweapon that screws up one of the fundamental forces of the universe). They decided to dump it in the depths of Earth's Pacific Ocean. To their credit, it's not easy to salvage something that big and that deep, but it's still a possible feat nonetheless. | |

Bag of Spilling: Played straight in Perfect Dark. For some reason, the weapons that you get will never carry over to the next mission. For instance, Joanna can pick up a CMP150 in Mission 1-1, but will no longer have it at the start of Mission 1-2, despite nothing having happened between the two other than an elevator ride. Zig-zagged in Perfect Dark Zero. At the beginning of each mission, you can choose which weapons you start with. The only requirement to be able to pick a weapon is to have carried it to the end of a previous mission. | |

Plot Armor: On some levels, certain characters will have an indestructible protective shield around them to make sure they aren't killed. One particular instance is in the Chicago level, where a police robot patrolling the streets is made completely immune to all weapons and explosives, so that it can only be destroyed by reprogramming a taxi to crash into it for one of your objectives. This is made particularly egregious by the fact that robots of the exact same model turn up in a later level, but can be gunned down with just a few rounds from your gun. | |

More Dakka: The Cyclone is a fairly average machine gun with the extraordinary ability to empty its entire clip in a second or two. The Skedar Reaper is horribly inaccurate, but has an incredibly high firing rate best used to clear corridors (plus the highest-capacity magazine in the game - it can hold 200 bullets!). Then there's the RC-P120, which can hold 120 rounds per magazine. The Magazine Discharge on the Cyclone spews so many bullets that you're guaranteed to kill and destroy anything, even though it looks like you're missing it. You can also dual-wield the Cyclone for twice the destruction. | |

Cool, but Inefficient | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_2cb9b1a9 | comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: The Laptop Gun's secondary turret tends to be this. It will usually expend much more bullets killing mooks than a decently accurate player would. The K7 Avenger, suffers from having a 25-round magazine which can be depleted within seconds due to the weapon's very fast 950RPM rate of fire. The reloading of his assault rifle is a slow and frequent annoyance that can be potentially fatal in a heavy firefight. | |

Autobots, Rock Out!: The game has different music for each level, but is perhaps unique for having an amped-up version for most, if not all of these themes that kicks on most missions once the action really revs up (i.e. when Joanna's cover is blown, when a bomb is about to go off, and so on). | |

Just Eat Gilligan: The conspirators go through a lot of trouble to get permission from the President of the United States to use a high-tech government submarine to reach a hidden Doomsday Device. They even enact a unnecessarily complicated plan to replace the President with a clone. When that fails, they just steal the submarine anyway; hey, once they've got their hands on the Doomsday Device it's not like anyone will be arguing with them, right? For obvious reasons, the Skedar weren't exactly forthcoming with their human accomplices about their intentions with the Doomsday Device (namely, using Earth as target-practice), hence all the high-tech espionage. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_38119dcf | comment |
Perfect Dark Zero has a unique version where most damage you take being "shock damage" that will go away if you aren't hit again after a short period, with a small amount being lost forever every time you get shot. Combined with a complete absence of health kits or other healing items, and you can eventually end up stuck with only a sliver of health towards the end of a level if you get shot a lot. Furthermore, each weapon has different levels of shock damage. Viblade? Say goodbye to your health permanently. Fell a long way or getting poisoned? All Shock Damage. On the hardest difficulty, all damage is permanent. | |

Pistol-Whipping | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_3c111ce6 | comment |
Save for the GoldenEye weapons, every weapon has a secondary firing mode. Some are basic, like the Falcon 2 and DY357's Pistol-Whipping, the Reaper's Grinder mode, the Combat Knife's throw instead of a melee slash, the AR34's scope zoom in non-aim mode, and the Sniper Rifle's crouchnote This was needed since crouching in the N64 original was done by going into aim mode and pressing down on the D-Pad or C-button layout, except in the Sniper Rifle’s case where it adjusts the zoom. Due to the remapped controls of the Xbox 360 version including a dedicated input for crouching, this was no longer needed and thus the Sniper Rifle is the only non-GoldenEye weapon without a secondary mode in that version; to burst-fire modes like the MagSec 4, Cyclone, and shotgun; to explosives like the Phoenix's small explosive rounds, the SuperDragon's underslung grenade launcher, and the Dragon's proximity mine booby-trap; to the downright exotic like the "Proximity Pinball" function on the grenade, the Laptop Gun's sentry mode, the CMP150's aimbot and FarSight XR-20's auto-tracking, the K7 Avenger and explosive mines' threat detector (picks up armed mines and booby-trapped Dragons), the Devastator's sticky grenades, and the RC-P120's cloaking device. | |

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: The tiny Skedar in "Deep Sea" are particularly annoying as they just keep spawning and there's nothing to do but shoot them all as they regenerate. On "War!", the enemies never stop coming; your only hope is to kill as many as you can and run like hell to avoid the rest. Luckily, they're terrible shots. The good news is that your army also respawns. Keeping them alive is essential. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Inverted. dataDyne developed a super-advanced codebreaker A.I. to figure out the programming on the Cetan ship. It unintentionally (and unwantedly) developed sapience and a conscience, making it rebel against its creators while taking the name of Dr. Caroll. Zero all but outright states this is in part because they decided to base the A.I. after the personality of an actual Dr. Caroll, one of their top scientists who had tried to defect but was killed before Joanna or the Carrington Institute could extract him. | |

Annoying Arrows | |

Annoying Arrows: Enemies will keep fighting even if they've been turned into a pincushion by crossbow bolts or thrown knives...but since the former are laced with a tranquilizer and the latter are poisoned, they won't be fighting for long. And there's the fact that the Crossbow has an instant kill function, which kinda averts the trope. | |

Darkened Building Shootout: In "dataDyne Central: Extraction", the level begins with the lights turned off, forcing Joanna to use night vision. At the end, Cassandra's bodyguards do the same thing and must be fought in the dark. Since they're wearing night vision goggles as well, turning the lights back on temporarily blinds them, making them easy to kill. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy: Enemy AI is variable in this regard. Some enemies will go immediately for the alarm if you attack, while others you can shoot from behind and make them ask in an astonished voice, "Was that a bullet?" It's also sometimes possible to eliminate almost an entire floor's worth of guards if you're careful, as long as you get rid of each one out of the others' line of sight. | |

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: If you're skilled or lucky enough, you can shoot firearms right out of enemies' hands, which will leave them vulnerable as they run over and pick it up. Getting it first is often enough to get them to surrender. Sadly, this feature seems like it is too "complicated" to include in most modern games.

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: Until you run up against the aliens directly, you're mostly mowing down security guards or government employees. Admittedly, they're working for a corrupt corporation and a treacherous NSA respectively, but you still spend a lot of time killing people just doing their jobs, although they're under orders to kill you. However, if you feel like it you can just knock out human enemies if you like in most levels. It's just that this is usually only practical if you can surprise lone guards. In the levels where you have to board or are actually on Air Force One, you will fail the mission if you kill guards, as they are not involved in the conspiracy to kidnap the President. You can, however, kill NSA troops, since they are. A particularly sad example is in Mission 4-2 where you must take a spare uniform from a scientist named Harry. On Agent difficulty, you can't avoid killing Harry as he is "conveniently" next to the crack that you must demolish. | |

Guns Akimbo | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_548bd053 | comment |
The Falcon 2 is a surprisingly decent handgun, considering it's the first weapon you get in the game. It's fast, accurate and even comes with a handy little scope. The CMP-150 also qualifies: it's the most common gun in the single-player mode, but it has a high firing rate, plentiful ammo and a nifty auto-targeting system. It can also be dual-wielded. | |

Insecurity Camera | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_561fc6cf | comment |
Insecurity Camera: An element inherited from Goldeneye. They're highly explosive as well. Be careful while blasting them on the run, as they can and will damage you. Oddly, shooting them through the lens is more effective than shooting them through the side. Strangely, the cameras can be oddly finicky; sometimes, the alarm may sound the instant you set foot in their range, other times they'll stare at you for several seconds before it happens. It's partially connected to you shooting in the camera's line of sight- it will auto-notice you if you shoot and it sees it. | |

Nostalgia Level: The original game has a couple of GoldenEye's multiplayer maps, including the classic Facility. Although in Perfect Dark, the name of the map is changed to Felicity, which is a clever nod to Perfect Dark being starred by a woman. Zero has DLC of a few GoldenEye and Perfect Dark maps, including Facility. | |

Police Are Useless: The CIA agents in the Chicago level of the first Perfect Dark. Despite being a major law enforcement agency in Real Life, the agents featured in PD might as well be ordinary civilians, and don't even attempt to maintain law and order. They carry no weapons, show no indication of any experience in combat whatsoever, flee at the sight of Joanna carrying a weapon in front of them, and seem to only exist as an excuse for you to fail your objectives. The FBI agents, the SWAT guards they call in if they see you, and the police robot on the same level, on the other hand, are indistinguishable from the dataDyne thugs that are patrolling the streets outside the G5 Building. | |

Limited Loadout | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_5ed1b6d3 | comment |
Limited Loadout: Zero implements this via a form of Grid Inventory. Both weapons and gadgets have four slots, with weapons taking up either one (handguns, explosives, and the Hawk boomerang and viblade), two (submachine guns, assault rifles, the shotgun and the combat shield) or three (sniper rifle, M60, rocket launcher and plasma gun) slots, requiring you to drop enough weapons to make room for a new one. Inventory items have the same limit, but every option takes two slots, and two of the four are restricted to mission-specific gadgets like the audioscope or CamSpy (even for missions where you don't have them), leaving you your choice of either the Locktopus, Data Thief or Demo Kit, all of which can be used in every mission but are never required. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The toughest of the AI opponents you can fight against in multiplayer are Dark Sims, who move faster than you, always get headshots with hitscan weaponry even if they don't actually have a line of sight to your head, spawn armed with the best weapon in the current setup, and teleport when you aren't looking. The computers. Even the super-easy MeatSims can fire semi-automatic weapons faster than you, reload every weapon at the same speed, use lock-on weapons while moving, and have perfect aim with non-hitscan weapons. PerfectSims also act as if they can see the radar even when it's set to off. One former Rare developer has said that enemies were even harder in pre-release builds of the game: in one version, DarkSims had the ability to strafe out from behind cover, fire, and move back behind cover - all within the space of three frames! In missions that have respawning enemies, it's important to complete your objectives as soon as possible or prevent an alarm from being raised as the spawned enemies will always know where you are. This can be averted with cloaking but only if you use cheats to get cloaking outside of Mission 7. Disguises will also work as long as you weren't seen during changing and your cover isn't blown. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Played straight with the Devastator grenade launcher and Slayer rocket launcher, which really are deadly; averted with the wildly inaccurate Reaper, which might well be the single most useless weapon in the game.

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Completing certain solo missions, especially when you're trying to unlock cheats, will often have you tear out your own hair even when you know what you are doing. This game pulls no punches: you either do it perfect, or you die. Perfect Agent in the campaign, and Challenges #16 to #30 in the Combat Simulator especially stand out: Perfect Agent, unlike the 00 Agent difficulty in GoldenEye, doesn't allow for any additional defense, meaning shields in this case, as opposed to body armor, are nowhere to be seen here. And just as in Golden Eye, expect levels to be more complex, have less ammo, and have better damage output and aiming from enemies. Challenge #16 introduces the PerfectSim, who will be a mainstay until they're eventually replaced with the even more frustrating DarkSim. Challenges #28-30 place the player against a pair of the aforementioned DarkSims, with the first two challenges being handicapped in favor of an unfair advantage in numbers. | |

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: In the first game, body armor and helmets seem to be fashion accessories instead of protective equipment, as the easily killed dataDyne Troopers and G5 SWAT Guards can attest. Averted in Zero, enemy armor provides some extra protection for them, though it usually only takes a few bullets to break it. Helmets do prevent you from killing enemies with a single headshot from anything short of a high-powered rifle. | |

Universal Ammunition | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_63a865c9 | comment |
Universal Ammunition: The game uses the same ammo setup as GoldenEye, with a few weapons having unique ammo types and the rest drawing from shared pools, differing only in that a third "generic" pool is added for submachine guns. A fairly ridiculous example, not only in that (at least going by the One Bullet Clips rules) it already made sense for submachine guns to use pistol rounds, but that the alien weapons also draw from these pools. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Dr. Caroll destroys the Cetan ship and himself along with it. Cassandra of all people makes one to save Joanna's life. Though Cassandra claimed it was so Joanna could kill the Skedar, giving Cassandra posthumous revenge, the woman might have seen it as her chance of redeeming herself. In Second Front, she tries to do it when she realizes how rude she's become, yet she ultimately becomes what she is in Perfect Dark. Jack Dark pulls one in Zero, and he actually takes out a fair deal of the mooks and saves Jo, but Mai Hem ducks his bullets, and shoots him in the gut, bringing him down. She then aims her Magsec at his head and kills Jack. | |

Interface Screw | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Melee attacks apply a heavy after image filter to your screen for a while to reflect stunning. Tranquilizer darts apply an even stronger version of this effect. Get hit by 2 or 3 darts guarantees you are not seeing your own weapon for the next minute. In multiplayer, it sticks around even after getting killed and respawning. Poison gas, poison-tipped knives (when thrown), tranquilizer darts, and the dreaded N-Bombs all blur their victims' vision which makes it very hard to shoot straight, much less walk in a straight line. Taking more than a few punches from an unarmed foe can result in a similar effect. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: One of the main criticisms of the game nowadays. It can be very confusing to find out what the level objectives are when there are no hints besides a few paragraphs of briefing. (Ironically, whenever Joanna's in close proximity to an objective, someone will speak up and bring it to her attention.) The "Crowning Glory" achievement in the XBLA remaster for earning all the Leaderboard Crowns. Each Crown requires you to do a specific thing on a specific level on a specific difficulty, and there's no description of what these might be in the game, other than a crown's name and icon. Some are almost impossible to complete in Solo because they require the player to be in two places at once. The Area 51: Escape level actually has two endings. While both endings lead to the same conclusion at the beginning of the next mission, the less immediate takes much less time to complete and is almost mandatory if you want to beat the timer needed for one of the cheat codes. | |

Zero-Effort Boss | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_6edb0066 | comment |
Zero-Effort Boss: The Duel mission, which is ordinarily difficult almost to Luck-Based Mission levels... unless you're facing Jonathan Steinberg. The guy is actually fairly competent when he's helping you, but when he's in the Duel, he's apparently taken correspondence courses at the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, and misses every single shot even at point-blank range. You can be standing perfectly still right in front of him, and he'll still merrily fire every single shot into the wall behind you. This is because he's still coded as an ally, and therefore to avoid friendly fire. The only way to get killed is to either get into extreme close range, at which he uses a melee attack, or use cheats to give him a rocket launcher, at which he can kill you by splash damage. | |

Night-Vision Goggles: The game has night-vision goggles in some levels which are somewhat realistic, eg. if the lights come on or you walk out into sunlight you'll be blinded until they're taken off. Human targets still appear a bright, glowing green though, making them much easier to spot. There is also one place in the game where you fight enemies who wear night vision goggles. If you turn on the lights, they won't be able to shoot you for a few seconds while they take them off. | |

Mix-and-Match Weapon | |

Mix-and-Match Weapon: As each weapon in the game has a secondary fire mode, a few of them invoke this trope: The Dragon is an assault rifle that just happens to have a proximity mine built in. The Super Dragon combines an assault rifle and a grenade launcher. The RC-P120 gives the user the option of turning on a cloaking device, though this feature eats up ammo like crazy. The Phoenix has the option of turning regular pistol ammo into miniature rockets that explode on contact. The most (in)famous weapon, the alien FarSight XR-20, combines a One-Hit Kill sniper rifle with a target-seeking X-ray scanner. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
The Cyclone is a fairly average machine gun with the extraordinary ability to empty its entire clip in a second or two. The Skedar Reaper is horribly inaccurate, but has an incredibly high firing rate best used to clear corridors (plus the highest-capacity magazine in the game - it can hold 200 bullets!). Then there's the RC-P120, which can hold 120 rounds per magazine. | |

Most of the CI staff are British, but the city where dataDyne's headquarters are located isn't named, and Carrington's villa seems to be in Gibraltar or somewhere on the Mediterranean. | |

Incredibly Obvious Bug: In Mission 1-1, you must plant an ECM Mine on the Internal Comms Hub and External Comms Hub. The only clear place to put it is directly on the monitor. In Mission 3-1 (Chicago), you must place a Tracking Device on a Datadyne limo. So obvious, you'll actually fail if you put it in a spot where they can see it. You have to put it on the underside of the car. On an additional note, you'll fail the mission if the guards see you planting the device. In Mission 4-1, you must plant a Comms Rider bug in the dish of the communications antenna. How can you expect a routine patrol to look at the antenna and NOT notice that? | |

Unnecessary Combat Roll | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8a0bc642 | comment |
Unnecessary Combat Roll: It seems like the first day of security guard school is spent teaching cadets how to perform this. Averted in that it's as woefully ineffective as it should be (it leaves guards open to attack for several seconds) but played straight in that Joanna herself performs a few shoulder rolls during cutscenes. One of the changes made from GoldenEye (1997) involved making the rolling animation interruptible - that is, a guard no longer finishes his roll, stands up and then dies if shot mid-roll. Zero lets Joanna do this as a command. It breaks enemy lock-ons, forcing them to get their bearing. They are also substantially quicker. | |

Reptilian Conspiracy | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8a88d726 | comment |
Reptilian Conspiracy: The Skedar race appear to be inspired by the Reptilian myth, being aliens that disguise themselves as Scandinavian men. Though, they are more open about allying with human governments. | |

Space Cold War | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8a943fe3 | comment |
Space Cold War: The real conflict in this series is not between the Carrington Institute and dataDyne, but rather the Maians and the Skedar. Earth itself is not that important; the only reason the Skedar have even bothered to take an interest in Earth is because they're losing the war against the Maians but have learned about the existence of a lost superweapon under the ocean that was left behind by a third alien race, the Cetans. In the end, humanity isn't considered a major player in this war; the Skedar plan to activate the weapon on Earth just to test it, and if successful, then they'll deploy it against the Maians. | |

Self-Imposed Challenge | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8d4fcaa5 | comment |
"Dark Agent" is the fan name given to a setting where all the Perfect Dark mode sliders are set to full. Unlike in GoldenEye, a headshot is fatal even when an enemy has 1,000% health (as opposed to requiring ten), so it's actually doable. You can also throw on the Enemy Shields cheat, which prevents scoring instant kills by head shot so long as the shield is active. This is a purely Self-Imposed Challenge however, as you don't get any in-game rewards for doing this. | |

Unguided Lab Tour: Joanna's missions sometimes require her to sneak into and investigate several high-tech, top-secret labs such as dataDyne Central (her institution's rival), Area 51 (Government facility, hints about the existence of aliens), and the Pelagic II (Government ship overtaken by dataDyne). Justified because she's a secret agent —it's literally her job to go unnoticed. | |

Arrow Cam | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_8f5247eb | comment |
Arrow Cam: The Slayer rocket launcher's secondary attack is a fly-by-wire missile you steer while looking through a camera on it. Sadly, it can only be used in a few levels and weapon training, even with the All Weapons cheat. And in MP, but using it there will get you killed, because people will look at your section of the screen to see where you were standing when you fired it. N64's non-remote multiplayer makes this less fun. In Zero, since there's only the one (non-alien) rocket launcher, its targeted rocket secondary was replaced with another fly-by-wire missile. It's not as ridiculous as the old version since it flies at a set speed rather than slowing down whenever you turn. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Meat Sims are the easiest AI enemies you can play against in multiplayer. They wander around drunkenly, ignoring weapons (and oftentimes you), and can barely hit the room they're standing in. Try putting a Meat Sim adversary in a match with automatic weapons...and watch them trace a perfect outline of you on the wall behind you in bullet holes. And in an accidental example, none of the AI can detonate Remote Mines. They can throw a Dragon in secondary, but only if it's empty; amusingly, they treat the Laptop Gun the same way, meaning you might sometimes encounter sentry guns that don't fire. They also can't see any form of trap and will walk straight into a proximity mine left in the middle of a corridor. Generally your 1-player buddies (Jonathan and Elvis) are very handy shots, but they will occasionally wander right into your line of fire or otherwise act like idiots just so you can fail the mission. The bot ally in single-player coop behaves the same way. Dr. Caroll in dataDyne Central: Extraction. Not only will he randomly hover right in the line of fire, but he also lacks the combat support given to you by Elvis or Jonathan. Many players simply leave him in the foyer while tackling the rest of the mission. The President also has a tendency to run into areas where he is vulnerable in Air Force One: Antiterrorism. The inability to avoid explosions has carried over from GoldenEye. Case in Point: This video. None of the Sims know how to use Timed Mines or Proximity Mines, and will resort to their fists if these are the only weapons on the map. Because they will merrily blow themselves up on mines you set, even Dark Sims become pathetically easy in this case. | |

Moral Guardians | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_96e5792c | comment |
Moral Guardians: Nintendo might have geared things back enough to allow blood and mild swearing, but there were still demands made; Nintendo forbade any depictions of alcohol or drug use. The "Combat Boosts" were originally "Adrenaline Pills," and the abandoned, useless basement bar in Chicago (which has a stripper pole, no less) was probably a casualty of the same policy that forbade there being a bar in one of the N64 Duke Nukem games. Then there was the story of using the Game Boy camera to put faces of anybody in the game. Rare at first said this was due to technical limitations; however, they later said it was taken out due to the Columbine massacre and video games being blamed for the shootings. | |

Press X to Die: This was in one of the multiplayer modes. One player plays through the mission, while the other plays as a Mook, trying to impede Player 1. When changing weapons, the mook player could select "Cyanide Pill" which would instantly kill you. However, this actually served a purpose; you would respawn at a different point on the level, so it was helpful for letting you catch up to the player. | |

Took a Level in Badass: There's one animation all the guards can potentially do, mercifully don't, but when they do, it strikes fear into most gamers. Its unofficially called the "Terminator walk". Guards in the game generally either go prone, crouch or stand still, all while adjusting their aim. In the Terminator walk they start advancing towards you with no regard for their own safety like a badass, and unload their entire magazine at you. If this happens on a harder difficulty, expect to get massacred. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: Though the "quick select" menu only shows up to ten items (weapons and gadgets), they all are still in there somewhere; the rest have to be accessed through the Pause menu. Expect to do so very often if using the "All Guns in Solo" cheat, especially given the very, very diverse arsenal. Some guards pull guns out of nowhere, even large ones like the Cyclone. And where the heck was Grimshaw hiding that grenade launcher when he was taken hostage? Averted in Zero, where you can hold 4 slots. Pistols and grenades take one, plasma rifles, rocket launchers, M60s and sniper rifles take three. Gadgets get their own set of slots but each option takes two, so you're stuck with one gadget determined on a per-mission basis like the CamSpy and one optional, more universal gadget like the Data Thief. | |

Enemy-Detecting Radar | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_9cd91b8a | comment |
Enemy-Detecting Radar: Like Goldeneye, the game has one, explained as the function of one of Joanna's gadgets. Oddly enough, you have to unlock a cheat code to turn the radar off. The most common reason for bothering unlocking this cheat is when you have a friend who is so good at the game in multiplayer you have to do something to make things harder for them to hunt everyone down. | |

When you're roaming around the Carrington Institute, nobody, yourself included, can run out of life and die no matter how many times they are shot at or blown up. | |

The All-Seeing A.I. | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_9d73dfcc | comment |
In missions that have respawning enemies, it's important to complete your objectives as soon as possible or prevent an alarm from being raised as the spawned enemies will always know where you are. This can be averted with cloaking but only if you use cheats to get cloaking outside of Mission 7. Disguises will also work as long as you weren't seen during changing and your cover isn't blown. | |

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_9e6221b0 | comment |
E.T. Gave Us Wi-Fi: Antigravity technology and other advances are due to help that dataDyne and the CI received from the alien races. In the second level of Perfect Dark, you must steal some technology from dataDyne that is heavily hinted to be reverse-engineered from the Skedar, specifically the prototype shield and the K7 Avenger and its threat detector. The night vision visor though... we already have that in real life. Two of the special assignments spell this out in their objectives. "Mr. Blonde's Revenge" has an objective to plant a bomb in the elevator of dataDyne's headquarters, outright stating that the scientists of dataDyne should no longer be allowed to research the Skedar's technology. "Maian SOS" likewise has an objective to destroy the ship Elvis got shot down in before the Area 51 personnel can examine it, the objective noting that the Carrington Institute will be put in danger if anyone realizes the similarity between their "inventions" and the technology on the UFO. | |

One-Man Army: While stealth is generally encouraged (and at times forced), Joanna is such a good fighter and so much more durable than her opponents that it's equally possible to simply blast the enemies and still win the missions, so long as said mission doesn't actively require you to avoid alerting or shooting guards. | |

Some of the more amusing ones include "I bet this is another drill" (said by a guard who has heard/seen you, but can't find you now), and "Ah, I never liked him anyway" (said by a guard who found one of his comrades dead). Other guards scream out the Big "NO!" when finding an ally dead. It's possible to shoot someone in the middle of a line. | |

Disintegrator Ray | |

Disintegrator Ray: two, in the Game Boy Color game. Late in the Jungle/dataDyne level, Joanna obtains a Mayan raygun that completely eradicates anyone she hits in a single shot (she sadly loses it soon after.) Additionally, the game has a rocket launcher weapon, which arbitrarily causes bodies to fade away shortly after death (rather than leave behind a body for Joanna to collect items from). While the rocket launcher effect is most likely a family-friendly version of the Chunky Salsa Rule, it's still jarring since the effect isn't present in the far more violent N64 game. | |

Secret Level: In this game's case, they are retreads of previous levels from a different point of view, which reveal different parts of the story.

The other two missions let you play as the grey aliens: the first is where Elvis alerts the Institute of being captured at Area 51, and you play through the entire level with diminished health. The other has you play as a random soldier among a platoon who landed on the Skedar homeworld after Joanna dropped the shields. Both missions are insanely difficult. | |

The weapons-manufacturing Megacorp dataDyne likes plastering their "dD" logo on all their architecture (admittedly, it is quite a cool logo). Not to mention the fact that the Carrington Institute's logo appears on Joanna Dark's Spy Catsuit. DataDyne troops also have the same logo on their uniforms, and it even appears prominently on the dataDyne-designed shotgun. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Both Trent and Cassandra get this treatment; two Smug Snakes who serve as main antagonists and die before the story's conclusion. Trent was a willing pawn in the Skedar's schemes, but overestimated his own usefulness to them, and dies in a "You Have Failed Me For The Last Time" moment establishing The Reveal of the Skedar being aliens. Cassandra serves as the primary early antagonist and the catalyst for much of the plot, only to be betrayed by the Skedar as soon as You Have Outlived Your Usefulness; she promptly pulls a Heel–Face Door-Slam Heroic Sacrifice, but explicitly makes it clear she's doing it for revenge, NOT redemption. | |

Antigravity technology and other advances are due to help that dataDyne and the CI received from the alien races. In the second level of Perfect Dark, you must steal some technology from dataDyne that is heavily hinted to be reverse-engineered from the Skedar, specifically the prototype shield and the K7 Avenger and its threat detector. The night vision visor though... we already have that in real life. | |

Arbitrary Weapon Range: Easily seen in the first Area 51 mission, where there's a clearing in front of the base covered by a guard tower. If you hang back in the tunnel and shoot at the guards in that tower with something like the Falcon 2, they will get out of the tower to rush at you before opening fire. If, however, you zoom in on them with the MagSec 4, then they'll just hang back and shoot you from the tower. | |

Drugs Causing Slow-Motion: Some levels give you a dose of Combat Boost. When used, time slows down for the player for a short period. While you don't actually move any quicker, with your character's movement slowed down as well during this time, it still becomes a lot easier to react to enemy actions, and to quickly line up headshots. | |

Rarely, mission objectives will have (non-obvious) timers; two big examples in the same mission are the taxi and the limo on the Chicago stage. You need to bug both of them, but the taxi will leave permanently only a short time into the mission, and the limo will depart a short time after (they'll also both leave if you make too much of a ruckus.) Didn't bug them before they depart? Mission failed, abort and try again. | |

Sniper Pistol: Joanna's trusty Falcon 2 pistol can be fitted with a scope to make a surprisingly accurate medium-ranged sniper weapon. Note that the scope attachment, much like the silencer, cannot be applied or removed at will; they're treated as separate weapons, and getting the scoped, silenced, or basic version of it is decided by the game on a per-mission basis. Zero has the similar P9P pistol, which always has a scope attached and can also attach or remove a silencer at the player's discretion, which in fact makes the gun more accurate in return for lesser damage. | |

A.K.A.-47 | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_c2b28f75 | comment |
A.K.A.-47: A selection of weapons from GoldenEye are unlockable, and not only are their names different from their Real Life counterparts, they're also different from its own made-up names. The Klobb in particular becomes the "KLO-1313" in Perfect Dark, despite already having a fictional name. The game also features a few straighter examples; the Falcon 2 is a Colt Double Eagle, the CMP150 is a barely-disguised Steyr TMP, the AR-34 is clearly the French FAMAS assault rifle painted in sci-fi colours, and the DY357 Magnum resembles a Colt Anaconda. Also the RC-P90 in Zero, which also has a few more straight examples of this (its version of the Superdragon, for instance, is clearly a G36K, while its plasma rifle is another, more direct copy of the FAMAS), as well as one aversion (the M60 retains its name). | |

Big "NO!": The guards will sometimes let loose with one of these when they are killed, even if you shoot them in the head. As well as variants like "I don't wanna die!!!", "Why... me?...", and even "You bitch!". In a Nintendo game. "NOOOOO! That wasn't meant to happen!" "OH NO! It's a Skedar army in suspended animation!"

Alien Blood | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_c2f7db18 | comment |
Alien Blood: Maians have green blood. Averted by the Skedar, who have red blood, albeit of a slightly different tint than human blood. Paintball Mode (once a cheat in GoldenEye) takes this to a whole new level of absurdity with everyone bleeding multicolored rainbow blood. The same effect happens to bullet holes on surfaces, walls, etc. | |

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: In the Game Boy Color game, even if you die after reaching a checkpoint, your health will remain exactly as it was when you first reached the checkpoint instead of completely refilling (for instance, if your health was at 45%, then it will still be at 45% when you retry). Also, your ammunition won't be refilled, but at least you won't lose weapons you've already collected until the mission is complete and you've moved on to the next one. Also, there are health pick-ups in the game, and your health will be restored at the start of the next mission | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: "Dark Agent" is the fan name given to a setting where all the Perfect Dark mode sliders are set to full. Unlike in GoldenEye, a headshot is fatal even when an enemy has 1,000% health (as opposed to requiring ten), so it's actually doable. You can also throw on the Enemy Shields cheat, which prevents scoring instant kills by head shot so long as the shield is active. This is a purely Self-Imposed Challenge however, as you don't get any in-game rewards for doing this. Played straight in Perfect Dark Zero, which has an official Dark Agent mode that you unlock for completing Perfect Agent. | |

Blackout Basement: "dataDyne Central: Extraction" begins with a section in pitch blackness which requires the use of night vision. de Vries' bodyguards will Invoke it on purpose when they ambush you at the rooftop access, using night-vision goggles to see where you are. "Area 51: Rescue", "Deep Sea: Nullify Threat" and "Skedar Ruins" have sections where the lighting flickers on and off. The "Perfect Darkness" cheat takes this up to eleven: every single level will be pitch black (with flickering lighting if indoors). It's impossible to get around without using Night-Vision Goggles. | |

Sigil Spam: The weapons-manufacturing Megacorp dataDyne likes plastering their "dD" logo on all their architecture (admittedly, it is quite a cool logo). Not to mention the fact that the Carrington Institute's logo appears on Joanna Dark's Spy Catsuit. DataDyne troops also have the same logo on their uniforms, and it even appears prominently on the dataDyne-designed shotgun. The Skedar also seem to like etching their symbol into every available surface and sculptures of it appear all over the place in the Battle Shrine. For a top-secret government installation, Area 51 makes it pretty clear what the name of the facility you're in is. | |

Secondary Fire | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_d1c12c05 | comment |
Secondary Fire: Save for the GoldenEye weapons, every weapon has a secondary firing mode. Some are basic, like the Falcon 2 and DY357's Pistol-Whipping, the Reaper's Grinder mode, the Combat Knife's throw instead of a melee slash, the AR34's scope zoom in non-aim mode, and the Sniper Rifle's crouchnote This was needed since crouching in the N64 original was done by going into aim mode and pressing down on the D-Pad or C-button layout, except in the Sniper Rifle’s case where it adjusts the zoom. Due to the remapped controls of the Xbox 360 version including a dedicated input for crouching, this was no longer needed and thus the Sniper Rifle is the only non-GoldenEye weapon without a secondary mode in that version; to burst-fire modes like the MagSec 4, Cyclone, and shotgun; to explosives like the Phoenix's small explosive rounds, the SuperDragon's underslung grenade launcher, and the Dragon's proximity mine booby-trap; to the downright exotic like the "Proximity Pinball" function on the grenade, the Laptop Gun's sentry mode, the CMP150's aimbot and FarSight XR-20's auto-tracking, the K7 Avenger and explosive mines' threat detector (picks up armed mines and booby-trapped Dragons), the Devastator's sticky grenades, and the RC-P120's cloaking device. Then there's the Laser (Short Range Burst), the Crossbow (Instant Kill), the Mauler (Charged Shot), the Callisto NTG (High-Impact Shells), the Tranquilizer (Lethal Injection), the Rocket Launcher (Homing Rocket), and the Slayer (Fly-By-Wire Missiles). Also, the N-Bomb has a proximity option. Even when unarmed, you can choose between "Punch" and "Disarm." | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Impressive detail is one of the good reasons why Perfect Dark remains acclaimed: Shoot someone in the leg and they'll limp around unable to run anymore. Shoot them in the arm and they'll hold it while moving. They will even trickle blood to show that they're wounded. When you kill someone while their back is against the wall or a solid object, they'll fall against it. When you kill someone who is sitting on a chair, they'll remain slumped over in their seat. When you kill someone who is on the second floor behind a handrail with explosives, their body will fly over the railing and down to the first floor. You can't do that in GoldenEye. The Carrington Villa Mission features rooftop snipers and soldiers that go prone to shoot you. The snipers will roll down off the roof and the prone soldiers will simply spazz out with their face in the dirt when you kill them. When someone falls down from lethal force, they cry out and a pool of blood appears to indicate that they are dead. If they fall down from non-lethal force (punch, pistol whip, sedatives), then they are simply unconscious but will continue to react to non-lethal blows with cries of pain. Completing levels results in a green colored "mission stats" menu. The Mission Status is listed as completed, and Agent Status as active. At the end of "Carrington Institute: Defense", Joanna is knocked out and the menu is instead grey with Mission Status: Unknown and Agent Status: Missing. Taking it a step further, it even changes in regards to failing, aborting, and using cheat codes.note Failing and Aborting are both red, and (respectively) are Mission Status: Failed and Agent Status: Deceased, and Mission Status: Aborted and Agent Status: Disavowed. Cheating is green, but is Mission Status: Cheated and Agent Status: Dishonored. In Area 51: Infiltration, if you knock out the tech carrying the lift keycard instead of killing him, he shows up in the next mission behind a locked door. Take the elevator in the hangar he was in and you'll find a Phoenix. When escaping from Area 51, you can choose to have Jonathan escape with Elvis, or have him stay and escape on his own. If you choose the former, Jonathan will appear on the mission where when the Carrington Institute is attacked and cover you. If you choose the latter, he does not. In Area 51 - Rescue, you have to escort a crate of explosives to a hole in the wall. If the box explodes prematurely, you will fail the mission. However, enemy soldiers in the mission carry Dragons, which have a Proximity Mine as their secondary effect, and will explode when shot in that mode. If you use this mode to destroy the hole in the wall, you will UNFAIL the mission and can continue as normal! You can also use the explosive setting on the Phoenix for this purpose if you went to the trouble of getting it in the last level. Enemies in GoldenEye react to the noise of loud weapons and near-misses (bullets that hit or pass by close to them) but not nearby explosions. In Perfect Dark, they now react to nearby explosions and will also check unconscious and deceased people that they come across. When you are ambushed by Cassandra's Bodyguards in Mission 1-3, they'll turn off the lights to make you vulnerable in the shootout. You can turn the lights back on which will overload their Nightvision Goggles and temporarily stun them as they grab at their faces in a pained reaction to the blinding light. Not including Dr. Caroll in Combat Simulator. Rare got a lot of flak from gamers for featuring Oddjob in GoldenEye 007's multiplayer, due to his short height making him harder to hit. Game Shark codes reveal how easily accessible Dr. Caroll is. Thankfully averted in the game proper, as the fast-moving floating sapient with a very small hit-box would have been the stuff of nightmares. | |

Irrelevant Importance: Inverted. One level requires you to carry a crate of bullet-sensitive explosives for a while to blow a hole in a wall. If they blow up while still relevant, you'll get the "Mission Failed" message, but it turns out they were never really relevant to begin with; there are other ways to blow the hole in the wall, and doing so will give you a "Mission Incomplete" message as the game realizes you still had a chance. | |

Amazon Brigade: Zhang Li's last line of defense is a platoon of about 20 elite female troopers armed with cloaking devices and plasma rifles. They're super annoying, since getting killed by them kicks you all the way back to about halfway through the level. Cassandra de Vries' bodyguards are similar. They're all female, and they all have shotguns. They're also some of the first enemies to carry sidearms, making disarms less effective against them. | |

Artificial Brilliance: Elvis is a particularly good shot with the Farsight. On "Deep Sea" he can take care of the enemies in the first section all by himself if you let him. Perfect Sims and Dark Sims seem to know exactly where all the good weapons and shields are on multiplayer and always have perfect aim. It's not really so much brilliant, though, than The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard cranked up to eleven. Dark Sims turn the cheating to an art form; they move faster than a human player, fire their weapons faster, have frame-perfect reactions (to the point it's not unheard of to take hits before they even visibly round a corner) have full, real-time knowledge of both all players' locations as well as weapon spawns and timers, reload faster than humans and, most damningly of all, can full-on teleport when out of all humans' lines of sight. It's worth noting, the Sim description explicitly describes them as having superhuman capabilities that break the rules of the game, and warns that fighting them is only for the most capable of players. | |

Short-Range Long-Range Weapon: Guards will not fire at you past a certain distance, even assault rifles (except snipers). When you get close enough, they try to punch you out instead of shooting you. The accuracy of the AR34 is so bad, it might as well be a "close-range only" assault rifle. You have to crouch in order to hit anything at a distance. | |

Continuity Snarl: The books don't mesh very well with the games. The original game states that Joanna is a recent graduate from the institute's training program, while the books would indicate that she had done several missions for them. The books also indicate that Carrington was practically in love with Cassandra and portray him as blindly idealistic, which don't match with his game portrayal. Unless the books' events caused him to loose both. Finally Jonathan in the game is the institute's top infiltrator, while the books portray him as the institute's security chief with no sense of subtlety. Though those could be different Jonathans. | |

Made of Explodium: While not as common as in GoldenEye, things like computers and television monitors will explode when shot. In one level, the flying cars seen outside a tower can be picked off with good enough accuracy, and will go up in a fireball regardless of what type of gun you shoot them with. Any car that blows up after one shot from a handgun at a distance must be very volatile. | |

Insane Equals Violent: The Psychosis Gun. At least the game got the definition of the word right, though. note "Psychotic" is often believed to mean "violent psychopath", but it really just means "disturbance in the ability to tell what is real or not". Mooks who get infected kill each other because it gives them the delusional belief that their comrades are enemies. | |

Simple, yet Awesome: The Falcon 2 is a surprisingly decent handgun, considering it's the first weapon you get in the game. It's fast, accurate and even comes with a handy little scope. The CMP-150 also qualifies: it's the most common gun in the single-player mode, but it has a high firing rate, plentiful ammo and a nifty auto-targeting system. It can also be dual-wielded. There's always the option of disarming an enemy, which works wonders in multiplayer. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_f09021fe | comment |
Checkpoint Starvation: In the original game, being built on GoldenEye007's engine, there are NO continues; die, and you restart the whole mission. On higher difficulties and longer missions (like Deep Sea or Skedar Ruins) this can mean losing a lot of time and work. In the Game Boy Color game, checkpoints only occur after you reach a very specific part of a mission, such as a boss battle or when you pass through certain doorways. Good luck getting far enough to reach those points without dying. Perfect Dark Zero has only 2 checkpoints per mission; one at the very beginning, and one about 3/4ths through or before the end level boss fight. This is fine for the shorter missions, but very noticeable on the longer ones. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: Apart from the flying cars and alien technology, this could almost be a modern shooter. Canonically, the game is set in 2023. The prequel is only set three years earlier and completely drops both of these, leaving the only real hints that it's the future as some of the odder weapons (plasma rifle, sword with an energy shield, etc.), the fact that the only flying vehicles all seem to be Osprey-inspired, jet-powered VTOL craft, and the in-universe existence of Deathmatch. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Are you evil enough to shoot an enemy in the groin after they've been disarmed and surrendered? Yes. In the original, foes who have been knocked out can then be killed rather easily, especially if you like headshots. In the first mission, you can shoot down flying cars that go by, obviously killing whoever was inside. Nothing says "guilty, sadistic pleasure" more than shooting a dead body curled up in the fetal position. The non-combatants in Area 51 will either surrender, run away to hide or alert security, or yell at you. You can kill them all without failing the mission... if you want to, that is. If you wasted time and ammo in breaking all of the bottles in the Wine Cellar of Carrington Villa, Daniel will call you out for destroying at least a million dollars worth of vintage alcohol. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: Many levels can be completed in more than one way. In fact, the game often encourages it and even has HUD messages for when you find alternative means to complete an objective. Finding the Bombspy allows you to use it to blow up the guards blocking the entrance to the G5 building. With no one to lock the door down if you're spotted the game immediately completes the final objective before getting to the entrance because you don't need to make a distraction now that the people you'd need to distract are dead. If for whatever reason you decided to destroy the taxi you're supposed to reprogram for the objective, which normally fails it, the game will undo this and congratulate you on finding an alternate means of distraction. The game (and Jonathan) explicitly go out of their way to drill into your head "DO NOT BLOW UP THE BOMB CRATE BEFORE GETTING IT TO THE WALL YOU NEED TO BLOW UP!!!" in the second Area 51 mission. Obviously doing so immediately causes the first objective to fail as you're intended to use it to get into the labs. However the game gives you the Dragon and, with some setup in the previous mission, the Phoenix in this mission, and their secondary features are explosives. By detonating the Dragon or firing the Phoenix's explosive shells at the wall, the objective will change from failed to completed and alert you that it's been rescinded due to alternative means of access being found. Opening the safe door in the G5 building takes 90 seconds while you deal with Demonic Spiders. Or you can trigger the As You Know cutscene within 3 seconds after you begin unlocking the safe, as the door will actually finish opening during the cutscene but the enemies will not spawn and attack you. The Pelagic II has a hidden entrance to the submersible, simply by finding the switch for the big doors with the x-ray goggles and triggering it through the wall, which allows you to beat the level much more quickly than taking the conventional route. The sensitive information in Carrington's office can be destroyed with a grenade instead of having to go downstairs, then go back up to open the safe with the laser. By putting the BombSpy in the other elevator, you can kill the dataDyne captain much more easily in "Mr. Blonde's Revenge". | |

Tranquillizer Dart: The tranquillizer gun, but instead of knocking targets out, it blurs their vision, lowering their accuracy. The alternate fire gives the darts a lethal overdose. | |

Attack Drone | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_fb9afaab | comment |
Attack Drone: The police robot from "Chicago Stealth"; it deals horrendous damage and is almost invincible. Thankfully, it has a predictable (and easy-to-avoid) patrol route, and one of the objectives on higher difficulties is implementing Car Fu to destroy it. They also show up in Alaska in Degraded Boss form; they deal much less damage, are easy to kill, and slowly move towards you rather than following a path. Although annoying, they aren't very dangerous. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Just because the Maians are cute and fond of humans doesn't mean they're pacifists. The deadly FarSight XR-20 alone proves they know how to use their weapons. They fought a space-faring race who relish war into a stalemate. Once the sacred Skedar shrine is uncovered, they unleash their unbridled fury upon the extremists, perform regicide, and flatten the place to cripple their enemy's morale foreverafter. | |

| Perfect Dark (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
It seems like the first day of security guard school is spent teaching cadets how to perform this. Averted in that it's as woefully ineffective as it should be (it leaves guards open to attack for several seconds) but played straight in that Joanna herself performs a few shoulder rolls during cutscenes. | |

Throwaway Guns: The Dragon and Laptop Gun on their secondary mode, which turns it into a disguised proximity bomb, or sentry gun respectively. The UGL Liberator in Zero gets the Dragon's secondary mode. Also, there is one point in the last level of the original which requires you to leave one of your guns behind before progressing. Unfortunately, the completely worthless Reaper can't be used for it. | |
