Joanna the spy: more Bond than Bond

Article Abstract:

"Perfect Dark" is a new adventure game created by a British company called Rare. It feels and looks like the company's last hit, "Golden Eye," a take-off from the James Bond films, but the game has a female character in the lead role. The game offers a wide array of weapons, goals and obstacles. It is offered by Nintendo and without the Nintendo 64 system as well as an Expansion Pak, the game just won't be worth it.
