I don't know if I just hate first person shooters or the game was over hyped for me, but Perfect Dark was a rather average game that seems to have a lot of fans. While I usually don't mind polygons and reusing assets, there was just something about Perfect Dark that felt way too samey to it's sister counter part, 007. All the way till you get the alien does this game feel like it's just 007 with a girl protag, and while that isn't a bad thing to most, it just left me feeling hallow inside. That isn't to suggest the game suddenly got better after getting the alien, just that it started to have it's own personality. Perhaps if the game lean more into it's scifi routes i'd like it more, but for what it was, it was a decent venture.
