028 - Perfect Dark

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers. Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random. Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. This month, Mike Duddy returns to talk about playing the Xbox 360 remake of the lauded N64 classic Perfect Dark. Mike was a big fan of the series growing up, and Derek had never played it before (and was pretty certain that this episode was just going to be a massive argument). Was it? Listen on to find out! The remaster to the Nintendo 64 classic puts players in the role of Joanna Dark, an agent for Carrington Institute. In Perfect Dark, players battle across 17 action-packed levels, utilizing a range of high-tech weaponry and gadgets to take down the dataDyne corporation. Compete with others in the “Combat Simulator” or take the fight online in a co-operative mode that lets you take on enemies with a friend. Relive a classic with updated graphics in this high-definition take on Perfect Dark for Xbox 360.
