Can’t wait!!!

Been waiting a long time for this! This is going to be a blast.

800 is a bargain price.

And if ALL of the original multiplayer components are in place and work over LIVE as they say they do, then we have a winner.

The X-box 360 gods have spoken we have a Awesome game coming.. Perfect Dark.. Now Bring Plants VS Zombies!?! *laughs* I will give you time.. but still would be a perfect Summer game to have.. please Microsoft make it happen.. we have been waiting for the longest time and no news yet!?!

Everyone, buy Perfect Dark instead of the map pack for MW2.

It has been a long time coming. I have my points ready and will be buying on Wednesday. But I still have to ask, is there any announcement to be made regarding the SFII avatar gear that was announced and has not appeared yet?

It has been a torturous wait for me, ever since this was announced. This was, quite likely, the game that introduced me to first person shooters and remains my favorite, despite it’s age.

I’m so buying this!

I can’t wait.

Yay!

Certainly won’t be buying the rip-off that is the MW2 map pack.

I haven’t been this excited for a game in a while – let alone an XBLA title.

YES this is gonn rock one of the 1st first person shooters i ever played cant wait. NOW all they need is to get Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic released for Games on Demand SWKOTOR is the best game ive ever played Ranked even higher than Mass Effect 2 which comes 3rd, 2nd only to Halo: Combat Evolved

Hm, a whole game for $10, or new multiplayer maps with no achievements for $15? Decisions, decisions…

Finally the wait is almost over.

Maybe we will get Fallout 3 tomorrow.. Hope so.

Yeah, everyone should buy this, then rare might remake other classics in HD.

800 points is amazing – I would of bought it at 1200 points if im honest – so less then that is fantastic

Will be getting. Need to get the points in!

Despite how much I want to buy this, I’m having a difficult time justifying it as I own the original. I don’t know I suppose I’ll play the demo first.

Great game at a great price.
Definatly worth it.

@ Hardrock302

You might want to just support they and their cheap priced hd remake. In example, I still got my boxed alien hominid copy and yet downloaded the full game at the marketplace. My money shows my love to developers who I think are worth it.

And have to admit that it was sitting on the shelf for long time but the HD release made me play thru the game over 2 times so it was worth the money, unlike the COD4 MW map pack wich I came to pay just 400 first weekend it dropped but I hardly can recall to have played those maps even 1 time.

Bottom line is that you will have more chances to play again the game with the re-release than in your old N64 and some games desevere to be played

+ you will get HD graphics (believe me, las week I played destroy all humans 2 and couldn’t read the white texts due to lack of definition. My eyes just got accostumed to HD)

+ you will be able to play it online

+ achievements and most likely avatar awards

+ affordable price, even if you already got the original for that price you only may pass if you really miss having winterbottom or greed corp…

@Hardrock302

I have the original and I’m still going to grab it off the Arcade, I bought it when it first came out for something like $50+ I can’t remember exactly as it was around 10 years ago, and to get an improved version with slight expanded(8players instead of just 4) online play for just $10, you have to be a bit loose in the brain to skip on this offer.

Skipping(if you were thinking about buy it) the stupidly priced MW2 map pack (15 bucks for 5 maps, seriously?) and getting Perfect Dark would be a the best decision you make this month.

Got my points ready, just waiting to click “download now”.

W0000t Perfect Dark!!! Got ’nuff points for that and MW2 map pack AND L4D2 DLC if it ever decides to release this century.

Finally.

Finally… Almost here… Almost here… 2 more days… just 2 more days…

On the fence on this one. I just got Toy Soldiers (which ROCKS!!) and I really still wanted Trials HD, but not for 1200 points. And now this…..XBLA rules!!

Give me the classic original 007 from the N64 then we’ll talk. Until then no thank you!!!

@mopey one
Perfect Dark is like Goldeneye 2.0, they even have some Goldeneye maps and weapons you can play with (they may add more with DLC if people buy the game). At least check out the trial of PD. Don’t close yourself off from an awesome game. The original has a 97 Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/n64/perfectdark

This is a steal at that price! I wish I was playing it right now. I hope the Online runs lag free on day one, “like butter” as Ken Lobb said.

I own the original, but going back to the godawful N64 controller just kills it for me. I’ll be buying this solely because I can play with more modern controls

so excited for this game – and at 800 Pts – gonna break some records for most XBLA game downloaded…

Lack of Legacy and Lefty controls is a garish oversight.

Definetly trying this one out. Hoping there’s an option to make it 1 analogue stick so I can have the same difficulty I had with it years ago.

I’m so excited for Wednesday! Been waiting awhile for this release, just need Goldeneye!

~fin~

This will own. I can see myself putting hours into this game with friends, just as I did 10 years ago.

Have my points ready and waiting.

Got my points ready

I cant wait. I have been saving up points for this ever since it was first announced. I love Rare game and I’m glad Microsoft decided to bring over their biggest IP to XBLA and in HD. I hope to see more Rare game on XBLA.

Everyone, buy Perfect Dark instead of the map pack for MW2.

Can’t wait

I really, really, really, hope that by Wednesday they mean midnight. I know it’s petty, but I don’t see why so many things that get released on Live aren’t up until well past 5 AM on the day of release. I can’t imagine someone would have to be there to physically flip any switch.

There are countries in the world besides the US. They tend to go up in Europe at around 9/10am. Which is fine by me. You guys get most of your games days before us, you can wait a few hours to play this

One of the best games ever released with online for 800 MS Points, whereas a DLC for one of the most over-hyped games ever with 3 new multiplayer maps is 1200 MS Points. And the logic in that is…?

Review up over at teamxbox

Yay.

Although I really want to beat Duke Nukem before I move on to another game. :/

Atomicow Wrote: “I own the original, but going back to the godawful N64 controller just kills it for me. I’ll be buying this solely because I can play with more modern controls” That is so true… So true. Personally I think The Xbox controller is hands down the most natural controller yet designed.

Looking forward to checking out the trial. Never played the original. If I enjoy it at all, I will likely pick it up since I got both Toy Soldiers and Scrap Metal so it would effectively be only 400 points for me with the Block Party promotion.

im gonna have to steal some lunch money for the MS points

Cant wait

Have my points ready

Must have, great game from the old N64 days. Good Memories… Need points though.

ok setting my alarm fo 5AM….ANYONE WANNA JOIN ME?

@Mcmax3000 I was terrible at it back in the day playing with my friends. I never had the practice with it they did, and the controls…man. But it was still fun as hell, I can only imagine it’s gotten better with decent controls. It’ll be well worth it

@Mr FuZzYbOtToMz I really hope it comes out before then. I’ve never actually tried to find out WHEN they pop up on the marketplcae. I only know I stayed up one time till about 4am, nothing to do that day, and it never popped up.

Will probably pick this up after work tomorrow.

Was keeping the points with the thought of the MW2 Map Pack but Im not going near them for that price.

The game will have two unlockable Avatar awards apparently, one for getting a headshot kill, the other for completing one of the bonus levels.

No idea what the items actually are though.

Sigh… anyone else recall those days when we actually got new XBLA releases that were actually requested by the community? Back when XBLA was under a different lead and notable games weren’t so few and far between?

Needless to say, this brings back memories of those days, as well as the old glory split-screen days of the N64. I’ll be downloading this first thing tomorrow and I’m looking forward to taking a break from FFXIII to play with some of you folks.

1 hour & 44 minutes more!!!

I’m gonna get the body armor in Felicity and camp wooot!

I cant wait for this now I just wish the would remake conkers bad fur day and a few others.

Conkers Bad Fur Day would be awesome, specially if they can make the original multiplayer with all those different games online.
I was gutted they totally changed the multi from the N64 original which had a couple of awesome multi games like beach to the cack which was the Xbox multiplayer and nothing like the N64 one.

It’s out in the UK, check your marketplaces wherever you all are.

Confirmed, Perfect Dark is available on the Marketplace even here in Italy.
Go get it!

Lol it patches at the first launch

Most games do though.

Wow, never played this before but you all seem to think it’s really good. I’ve just queued up the demo for download. I was saving my points ready for the MW2 map pack, but as Activision are trying to rip-off everybody with their ridiculous 1200 price tag, I may just purchase this in stead. I’ve had it with MW2 now, need something new to play.

Didn’t play the original so there is no nostalgia to encourage me to purchase like other people. I might download the demo to see what all the fuss is about but I’ll most likely pass on this. I’ve been too spoilt by more modern FPS’s
