Rare deliver the 360 launch with an ambitious yet uneven Perfect Dark Zero. Multiplayer stays fun, the AI is still fragile and the story lacks energy, leaving this entry a mixed-bag start despite an undeniable Joanna Dark touch on screen.
First-person shooter by Rare and Microsoft, December 2005. Agent Joanna Dark infiltrates dataDyne Research facilities to uncover an alien conspiracy in a futuristic world. Open solo campaign, split-screen co-op and online multiplayer. Xbox 360 launch title and prequel to the original Perfect Dark.

Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
Japanese and Korean edition of Rare's Perfect Dark Zero, an Xbox 360 launch FPS. As a title from the console's first line-up, its local East Asian pressing, on a market where the 360 started slowly, was limited. Value lies in regional scarcity and the historical status of a Rare-made launch game, sought by collectors documenting the console's early days.
