Gamer's Opinion

This is one of the rare cases of a modern remake handled by Microsoft that's not garbage. The visuals have been remastered quite well, but the glare from the ingame lights can be a little distracting. Every sound effect, voice clip and music track have been upgraded to a higher quality version. This is pretty much the definitive version of Perfect Dark out there, it's such shame that it's stuck on the Xbox.
