enemy, and 

it comes out in a pool when the enemy falls.  Nothing incredibly 

graphic, but there you go.  There's also some adult language in this 

game that would probably earn it a PG-13 rating at the movies.



Fortunately, there are options to turn off the language and utilize 

Paintball mode so that the blood looks like multicolored paint.



Q: What ever happened to the face-mapping feature?



A: Originally, this was a new feature that would use the Game Boy 

Camera.  You'd take a picture, then you'd be able to use the Transfer 

Pak to map the picture onto a face of a multiplayer character.  Rare 

eliminated this due to the possible outrage that would come from 

parents and the media, whereby you could use this game to "shoot" up 

your friends, siblings, teachers, lawyers, etc.  This wouldn't fly well 

with the parents, so it was removed to keep Rare's record clean.



Q: What's with the "Small but Perfect" Menu?  Why can't I access Solo 

Missions/Co-Op/Counter-Op/play with more than two players?



A: Perfect Dark requires the Expansion Pak to play the full game.  Most 

of the RAM in the N64 is used for graphics if there's no Pak.  Using 

the Pak's extra RAM for graphics frees up the N64's RAM to be able to 

handle all the complex stuff that the aforementioned need.



Q: What's your personal review on the game?



A: This is directly from my review at www.gamefaqs.com.



Three years ago, we were blessed with the incarnation that was 

Goldeneye. Ne'er before has there been so much said about one game. 

So much to be discovered. So many little things to whine about. So many 

hours spent alone or with friends, working to achieve perfection.



It appears that all good things must come to an end. For a new Phoenix 

has arisen that will change once again the way we look at the Nintendo

64.



You are special agent Joanna Dark. Graduating with unbelievable honors 

from the Carrington Institute, you are almost immediately thrust into

your first mission. The missions escalate in importance until it is 

apparent that the very world is in your trigger-happy hands.



The veritable dieties at Rare have given us the most sumptuous banquet 

of a game. From the beauty and intrigue of the Solo Missions, the

ferocity of the Challenges, the near-bottomless options of Multiplayer, 

and of course, the nerve-wracking time-released cheats to prove that

you are indeed the most Perfect Agent in the land.



Let us feast...



Graphics: 10



The picturesque streets of Chicago. The attention to detail on a simple 

rocket launcher. The bar has been raised once more, and once more, it

has been Rare who has raised it. I'd say they were phenomenal, but that 

wouldn't begin to describe it.



Oh, yes. The framerate. It's always about the framerate with you people 

isn't it?



First tip for maximum framerate happiness. Turn Hi-Res off. Trust me. 

In the heat of the action, it doesn't make that much difference at all 

how detailed the bad guys are. It matters whether or not you can 

precisely center your sight on his head, press the trigger and watch 

him undergo one of the realistic death throes that enemies endure.



I have played the four-player game with simulants, and yes, the 

framerate suffers there. Why you'd want so much carnage is beyond me,

anyway. Even when I play Unreal I never have more than 8 adversaries, 

human or otherwise.



So, satisfied, naysayers? Happy? Good. Let's move on.



Music and Sound: 9



A particularly haunting and chilling Goldeneye-esque musical 

soundtrack. The pulsing beat, like that of your own heart, mixed with 

the bass tones of underlying conspiracy. Not an orchestral masterpiece, 

but definitely extremely well done.



Some of the sounds will seem quite similar to fans of Goldeneye. Many 

will not. Of particular interest are those of the dying enemies. I 

almost felt remorse after hearing a guard yell ''I don't want to 

die!''... almost... I s'pose it goes without saying that I didn't feel 

as remorseful after being called a *****...



Plot: 8



An FPS with plot? Strange but true. Even the all-mighty Half-Life fell 

a bit short in this respduction" instead it will

  be the video you renamed!

                   ======================

                   5. The Story Explained

                   ======================





After moving into the new estate Adrienne has a horrible dream in 

which she is manacled to a chair and a blade is swinging towards 

her head. She then awakens, as Don comforts her, they then make love.



The next morning both Adrienne and Don are around the table drinking

coffee in the kitchen. Don explains that he thinks that the second 

floor bathroom would make a excellent darkroom for his photography.

Adrienne states that she is just going to explore the house and see

what it has to offer. Adrienne then unpacks a Snow Ornament that 

reminds them of christmas when Don proposed to her. Adrienne wonders

around the house and finds the bedroom of Carno, she lays in the bed

and has another dream in which hands come from the bed and try to 

grab her, but she wakes up screaming as Don comes to her aid. They 

engage in a short conversation. Later, Adrienne discovers a locked

door to the library, so she drives down to the town and obtains a

key from the realtor's office. Adrienne then drives back to the 

house and opens the library door. By accident she bumps a brick 

loose in the fireplace and she finds that there is a secret room

behind the fireplace. She then discovers a letter opener and removes

the motor from the bricks and enters this room. She then goes to the

stand north and moves the Bible off a little wooden box. Unknown to

Adrienne when she opens the box it releases a green mist, known as

the demon,which climbs the stairs and causes a lamp to fall over

Don's head, which unknowningly Don is now possessed.



The next morning Adrienne is innociently typing on her computer,

when Don comes up the stairs shouting and demanding that she get

his Draino cleaner he asked for yesterday. They have an arguement

that ends with Adrienne saying she'll get the drain cleaner, and

Don storming out of the room. She gets the drain cleaner, but Don

is still in an uptight mood. Adrienne slowly realizes that a bump

on the head isn't the only reason he is upset, something more 

deeper and darker than that. Adrienne is exploring the house to

find out what exactly is going on, while Don is constantly locked

away in the darkroom. Later, Adrienne is brutally raped by Don, 

and she becomes more confused by Don.



Adrienne learns the history of the Carno Estate and the former 

owners. The magician was intrigued by black magic and he also

had five wifes, which most were burtally murdered by Carno 

himself when he is possessed by the Demon. Marie, Carno's last

wife started to believe that Carno was behind the evil of all

his missing previous wifes, and the plots to kill Carno with 

her lover Gaston. They planned on making sure he couldn't escape

from his magic trick so he would die, but it ultimately ended 

with Carno killing both Gaston, Marie and then finally killing

himself in the process.



Adrienne also meets new friends around town such as Harriet and 

Cyrus. Harriet held some tarot card readings in which summons 

the Carno spirit and he explains to her that she must destroy 

the demon that is loose in the house. Adrienne hires Cyrus and

Harriet to do some house choirs in the estate. Then she meets

Malcolm which lived in the estate over 100 years ago, he explains

what exactly happened to Carno and also explains how to get rid

of the evil once and for all.



Finally the door to the dark room has opened Adrienne goes into 

the room and discovers pictures of herself all of them cut in 

two at the head. Adrienne is shocked, then her husband appears

behind her, he is in carno's costume and has make-up all over

himself. Don attempts to choke Adrienne out, but she gets the

drain cleaner and throws it in Don's face, She then grabs the

spell book, but gets captured

Don explains that he is going to fix up the Darkroom while Adrienne

says she is going to do a little exploring (uh-oh)

--------------------

Chapter #3 - Malcolm (Friday, Oct. 21st, 7AM)

--------------------



Adrienne and Don are now seen having a picnic out in the yard, but it

is cut short when Don complains that he has a bad headache. He then 

tells Adrienne that he is going to go lay down and get some rest, and

leaves you to clean up the mess, meanwhile you see someone peering at

you from a tree in your yard.

leaves. Adrienne trys to get Don to apologize but he refuses and walks

off after giving Adrienne a dirty look.





--------------------------------

Chapter #5 - The Secret Passages

--------------------------------



Adrienne is now resting on the bed, but she has a dream that rather

scares her, which depicts her laying on the bed and blood running

down her face. She quickly awakens.



~ Leave the room and go down to the reception hall, Cyrus will 

  tell you that his mom wants to see her in the carriage house

~ Leave the house and go to the carriage house as instructed

~ Attend Harriet and Cyrus they will do some tarot stuff which

  brings frightening things.

~ After the show, go back into the hose

~ Go upstairs to thellows you to "tag" enemies as you pass your aiming reticle over 

them.  Once you tag them, the gun will track them and you can simply 

hold down the trigger to clear the room of them, as it follows rather 

well.  This only works as long as the enemy stays in your line of 

sight, and is more useful when you don’t mind wasting ammo.  Double 

Potential.



Cyclone:



Primary: Rapid Fire; 50 9mm Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Very Fast

Secondary: Magazine Discharge; Fire Rate: Extremely Fast

Built as a weapon for supplying suppression fire over large areas and 

used by the Presidential bodyguards.  This machine gun isn’t all that 

accurate, but his has a large magazine to make up for it.  At an insane 

fire rate and even less accuracy, one touch of the trigger on secondary 

empties your magazine in a couple of seconds.  This can easily lay 

waste to a pack of bad guys.  This one also wins my award for "Coolest 

Reload", where you slide a large clip through a slot, and it’s spat out 

the other side, the bullets entered into the magazine.  Double 

potential.



Callisto NTG:



Primary: Rapid Fire; 32 9mm Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Fast

Secondary: High-Impact Shells; Fire Rate: Medium

This is the Maian assault weapon.  It, like all Maian weapons, is a 

finely made piece of equipment with few drawbacks.  The secondary mode 

is more useful for facing down strong single opponents, like Skedar.  

The primary mode is better for multiple targets.  Accuracy is good in 

both modes.



RC-P120:



Primary: Rapid Fire; 120 9mm Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Very Fast

Secondary: Cloaking Device

The descendant of the famed RC-P90, this lovely weapon sports great 

accuracy, a huge magazine, and a high fire rate.  Coupled with the 

Cloaking, which runs off ammo at the rate of about five seconds per 

full clip, this is a gun for the ages.  As with all Cloaking Devices, 

you’re invisible as long as you don’t fire.



Laptop Gun:



Primary: Rapid Fire; 50 9mm Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Very Fast

Secondary: Sentry Gun Placement; Fire Rate: Very Fast

Scope: 2X

My personal favorite.  This weapon is a machine gun disguised as a 

laptop PC.  When unfolded, it is a very accurate and useful automatic.  

The secondary fire is what puts the icing on the cake.  By sacrificing 

the gun and all your 9mm ammo, you can toss the gun onto the floor, 

wall, or ceiling.  Any hostiles that enter the area will be riddled 

with its bullets.  This sentry gun does take a while to turn, and you 

do have to sacrifice your entire supply of 9mm bullets, but it’s worth 

it to have a gun you can rely on in such situations.  If you want it 

back, you CAN pick it up again just by pressing B next to it.  Another 

small drawback to this gun is deployment of the primary mode takes a 

couple of seconds, which can be seriously problematic in a firefight.



*****************************************************************



Rifle Automatics:



Maximum rifle ammo capacity is 400.



Dragon:



Primary: Rapid Fire; 30 Rifle Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Fast

Secondary: Proximity Mine

Scope: 2X

A DataDyne made weapon issued to the military; this automatic rifle is 

used mostly by guards in Area 51.  This is a basic and reliable design, 

with a nasty surprise built in.  At the cost of sacrificing the gun, 

but not the ammo, a proximity device on the barrel can be activated 

that will send any grabbers of the gun to the next plane of existence.



K7 Avenger:



Primary: Burst Fire; 25 Rifle Bullets per Clip; Fire Rate: Fast

Secondary: Threat Detector; Fire Rate: Medium

Scope: 3X

This is an experimental weapon at the beginning of the game, and ends 

up being standard for DataDyne assault troops by the end.  The Avenger 

is a decent automatic, with some good power to it.  The only serious 

drawback is a small magazine.  The Threat Detector spots and highlights 

any mines or automatic guns in your line of sight.  You can still fire 

your gun while in this mode, so the only reason you'd want it off is 

maybe if you really don't like seeing a lot of outlining popups in a 

mine-rich area...



AR34:



Primary: Burst Fo

                   5. The Story Explained

                   ======================





After moving into the new estate Adrienne has a horrible dream in 

which she is manacled to a chair and a blade is swinging towards 

her head. She then awakens, as Don comforts her, they then make love.



The next morning both Adrienne and Don are around the table drinking

coffee in the kitchen. Don explains that he thinks that the second 

floor bathroom would make a excellent darkroom for his photography.

Adrienne states that she is just going to explore the house and see

what it has to offer. Adrienne then unpacks a Snow Ornament that 

reminds them of christmas when Don proposed to her. Adrienne wonders

around the house and finds the bedroom of Carno, she lays in the bed

and has another dream in which hands come from the bed and try to 

grab her, but she wakes up screaming as Don comes to her aid. They 

engage in a short conversation. Later, Adrienne discovers a locked

door to the library, so she drives down to the town and obtains a

key from the realtor's office. Adrienne then drives back to the 

house and opens the library door. By accident she bumps a brick 

loose in the fireplace and she finds that there is a secret room

behind the fireplace. She then discovers a letter opener and removes

the motor from the bricks and enters this room. She then goes to the

stand north and moves the Bible off a little wooden box. Unknown to

Adrienne when she opens the box it releases a green mist, known as

the demon,which climbs the stairs and causes a lamp to fall over

Don's head, which unknowningly Don is now possessed.



The next morning Adrienne is innociently typing on her computer,

when Don comes up the stairs shouting and demanding that she get

his Draino cleaner he asked for yesterday. They have an arguement

that ends with Adrienne saying she'll get the drain cleaner, and

Don storming out of the room. She gets the drain cleaner, but Don

is still in an uptight mood. Adrienne slowly realizes that a bump

on the head isn't the only reason he is upset, something more 

deeper and darker than that. Adrienne is exploring the house to

find out what exactly is going on, while Don is constantly locked

away in the darkroom. Later, Adrienne is brutally raped by Don, 

and she becomes more confused by Don.



Adrienne learns the history of the Carno Estate and the former 

owners. The magician was intrigued by black magic and he also

had five wifes, which most were burtally murdered by Carno 

himself when he is possessed by the Demon. Marie, Carno's last

wife started to believe that Carno was behind the evil of all

his missing previous wifes, and the plots to kill Carno with 

her lover Gaston. They planned on making sure he couldn't escape

from his magic trick so he would die, but it ultimately ended 

with Carno killing both Gaston, Marie and then finally killing

himself in the process.



Adrienne also meets new friends around town such as Harriet and 

Cyrus. Harriet held some tarot card readings in which summons 

the Carno spirit and he explains to her that she must destroy 

the demon that is loose in the house. Adrienne hires Cyrus and

Harriet to do some house choirs in the estate. Then she meets

Malcolm which lived in the estate over 100 years ago, he explains

what exactly happened to Carno and also explains how to get rid

of the evil once and for all.



Finally the door to the dark room has opened Adrienne goes into 

the room and discovers pictures of herself all of them cut in 

two at the head. Adrienne is shocked, then her husband appears

behind her, he is in carno's costume and has make-up all over

himself. Don attempts to choke Adrienne out, but she gets the

drain cleaner and throws it in Don's face, She then grabs the

spell book, but gets captured in the process.



When Adrienne wakes she is in the torture chair getting shackled

to the chair, Adrienne pulls out the snowman to Don, Don steps 

back for a minute, Adrienne meanwhile pulls the lever to release

the blade, which hits Don in the back and kills him. There is

no time to cry, as the Demon then appears. Adrienne immediately

runs away and takes the secret passage in the threatre. She

manages to get over a big gap in the passageway by using a pipe

above the hole. She eventually makes it to Carno's Secret 

Place. She then recites the spell that ends up with the demon

being sucked into the book and sealed....forever. Adrienne

then walks out of the house with a blank look on her

face.

             =======================

             5. Unanswered Questions

             =======================

UQ = Unanswered Question

TY = Theories



This section includes some questions you could never have got 

answered by playing the game, however I have my theories to these

questions:



UQ = Why is a large human face depicted on the outside wall of the

     mansion?

TY = Since Carno's estate was used for magic spells, it might just

     be a decoration for it.





UQ = Why are the sleeping rooms so illogical, Carno and Hortencia 

     slept on the second floor, Sofia on the third floor, and Malcom

     is in the tower room. Why was the baby put on the third floor 

     instead of on the second floor?

TY = Unknown





UQ = Do you think that Don and Adrienne actually slept in the same 

     bed during the entire fiasco, where'd Don Sleep?

TY = In the darkroom possibly, on the couch in the reception hall,

     or possibly in Carno's room



UQ = How did the door on the third floor get locked from the other-

     side?

TY = Demonic Activity



UQ = Why doesn't Adrienne fill Don in on these discoveries?

TY = Don didn't want to even speak to her, or she was afriad of

     him and what he may do to her.



UQ = Where'd the new phone installation go?

TY = Don removed it to prevent Adrienne from using it





UQ = How did Malcolm survive in the Carnovasch Estate?

TY = Unknown



UQ = How does the Demon cross the hole at the end of the game?

TY = Magic possibly

                   ====================

                   6. Glitches/Bloppers

                   ====================



~ In chapter 1 we see the box in the introduction movie, yet when you

  take control of Adrienne it just simply dissappears, you can't find

  it anywhere in the game.



~ When Adrienne eats food from the fridge, you can tell her hands 

  never touch the food.



~ When Adrienne is shown petting the cat the couch is up to her knees

  yet in normal circumstances it is about up to her calves.



~ Carno's jewelry box is shown next to the lamp, but in the bed scene

  in which the hands try to grab Adrienne it disappears.



~ When going to the realtor's office it is clearly day, but when you

  are in the office and look in the background as Adrienne talks to 

  the realtor it is black as if it is nighttime.



~ In chapter two, the picture of Adrienne and Don is missing from 

  the stand by the bed.



~ When Don is walking off after the conversation of the drain cleaner,

  he walks in the direction of the fireplace not the exit.



~ In chapter three, when the introduction move is over, the picnic

  basket mysteriously disappears.



~ A task said by Adrienne to Harriet was to make the bed, but it is

  already made



~ When Adrienne is in a secret passage and most move a platform, 

  her hands move but the wheel doesn't.



~ In chapter 7, Carno's corpse dissappears as soon as you take the 

  talisman from him



~ When Adrienne runs back into the threatre after poking Don, the 

  chair in the make-up room is missing



~ Cyrus' corpse falls onto Adrienne when she runs to the crypt while

  Don is chasing her, and is still there when she races from the 

  cyrpt, however if you use the gargoyle to drop on Don the corpse

  disappears.
