''Perfect Dark Zero'' is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was exclusively released as a launch title for the Xbox 360 on 22 November 2005 in North America and 2 December 2005 in Europe. ''Perfect Dark Zero'' is a prequel to the Nintendo 64 game ''Perfect Dark'' and takes place in the year 2020. The game follows bounty hunter Joanna Dark as she joins the fictional agency Carrington Institute to stop the evil plans of rival corporation dataDyne. ''Perfect Dark Zero'' was under development for five years and was originally intended to be released for the Nintendo GameCube and later the Xbox. The game features a campaign mode consisting of 14 missions that can be played co-operatively, and a multiplayer mode where a maximum of 32 players can compete against each other in numerous types of deathmatch and objective-based games. Both the co-operative and multiplayer modes support split-screen, system link, and the Xbox Live online service. ''Perfect Dark Zero'' was a commercial success, selling more than one million copies worldwide. Critical reception for the game was divided but generally positive, garnering a GameRankings and a Metacritic aggregated review score of 81.27% and 81 out of 100 respectively. The game's numerous multiplayer modes singled out as strong features; however, some publications criticised single-player aspects such as its story and voice acting. Two sequel novels, ''Perfect Dark: Initial Vector'' and ''Perfect Dark: Second Front'', and a comic series, ''Perfect Dark: Janus' Tears'', were released to continue the story of the game. ==Gameplay== ''Perfect Dark Zero'' is a first-person shooter where players control the player character mostly from a first-person perspective. The combat features mechanics such as an evasive dodge roll and a cover system in which the gameplay switches to a third-person perspective, allowing the player to strategically aim without taking damage and be more aware of the surroundings.〔 Players cannot jump but have the ability to automatically climb obstacles as long as they can reasonably reach them.〔 It is also possible to climb ladders. By doing so, the camera shifts into a third-person perspective.〔 The player has a certain amount of health which decreases when attacked by enemies. The health can recharge a bit if the player steps out of the line of fire for a few seconds, but it may not necessarily refill completely depending on how much damage the player took.〔 Players can only carry a limited number of weapons since the inventory features a 4-slot system in which single hand held pistols usually take a weapon slot whereas heavy weapons, such as the Jackal Sniper Rifle or the Rocket Launcher, can take up to three weapon slots.〔 The player's movement speed is also altered by the weight of the weapon the player is currently holding. Besides the primary function, all of the weapons in ''Perfect Dark Zero'' have one or two additional function modes that generally grant the player with special abilities.〔 For example, the Shockwave Rifle features an X-ray function which allows the player to see enemies through walls,〔 while the Plasma Rifle has a cloak function that renders the player character invisible to enemies at cost of its batteries.〔 Some weapons also feature more unorthodox secondary functions. For instance, the Laptop Gun can be deployed as a sentry gun, while the SuperDragon assault rifle can launch bouncing grenades.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perfect Dark Zero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
