Plot
The year: 2023. Joanna Dark, a sharp and gifted young Field Operative - codename 'Perfect Dark' - is sucked ever deeper into the conspiracy that swells out from the heart of the forbidding dataDyne corporation. With a trail of secrets leading her from Chicago skyscrapers to subterranean laboratories, from top secret air bases to sea-bed alien shipwrecks, Joanna's mission slowly unfolds to reveal a conspiracy spanning hundreds of light years...
Running on the celebrated GoldenEye engine and undergoing development at the hands of the very same team responsible for that high-tension classic, Perfect Dark ups the ante on its predecessor in virtually every department. The story is far more ambitious, the objectives more rigorous, the gadgetry more ingenious and the enemies more vicious.
The game boasted a private theatre for its first ever showing to the public at this year's E3 in Atlanta, and ultimately went down a storm even in its very early state. If you have any worries about the standard set by GoldenEye and how it can be surpassed, put them aside: the Perfect Dark team is well aware of how high expectations are running for its latest baby, and has no intentions of disappointing anyone at the end of the day. Just think. All the ideas that didn't quite make it into GoldenEye, plus much, much more...
Perfect Dark will be published by Rare and distributed by Nintendo sometime in 1999. We've no solid release date to offer as yet, but we'll keep you informed of the details as they arise. You don't want us to rush this one, do you?
