** The K7 Avenger. It has a reduced magazine capacity compared to the [=AR34=] or the Dragon and its heavier variant, is less accurate, and dispenses ammunition much quicker than most auto-weapons. It makes up for these apparent drawbacks with its devastating damage-per-bullet and lightning-fast RPM, especially in comparison to the other assault rifles. Another thing about this weapon is that it has one of the most useful secondary effects in the game: Threat Detector. For multiplayer, this effect is a godsend to avoid getting hit with a Proximity Mines or a well-hidden Laptop Gun.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Compared to the obscure UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor game and the disliked Perfect Dark Zero, the original is more fondly remembered.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Upon meeting Dr. Carroll, Joanna seems almost mesmerized by the fact that he turns out not to be a human, but a floating A.I. with a distinctly British disposition. When he witnesses her knock out a guard in the beginning of the next episode, he gasps out an "Oh!" of disgusted shock not unlike what you'd hear from [[Franchise/StarWars C-3PO]].

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Just like its predecessor, the game was praised as one, if not ''THE'' best console [=FPS=] of all time. However, it was left behind pretty soon in the wake of a [[Franchise/{{Halo}} certain other franchise]].
** And just as its predecessor, it has the occasional performance issues and controls that the typical gamer isn't accustomed to, anymore.

The XBLA port of the original has consistently-smooth framerates, support for HD resolutions, a modernized, twin-stick control scheme, and online multiplayer.multiplayer.
** Does the ''[[CompilationRerelease Rare Replay]]'' collection make ''Perfect Dark Zero'' a good game? Hell no. Does it stabilize the framerate, upgrade the visuals to a higher resolution at least somewhat and effectively make it ''playable'' at the bare minimum compared to how much of a mess it was on the original hardware? Surprisingly yes.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Notice how little talk there is of ''Perfect Dark Zero'', the prequel? That's because it's considered an infamous game, and a perfect example of franchises making the jump to the next generation that botched the landing, even if critics were more receptive to it at the time. Not only did it play nothing like the first game beyond "first-person-shooter with alternate firemodes", the performance was abysmal, the controls were sluggish with near impossible aiming, and the story was a mess. Even the multiplayer, which should've been a redeeming value, felt half-baked and inept. Most people would just prefer to [[FanonDiscontinuity forget the game ever existed]] were it not for Rare Replay carrying it, and it became a rather infamous FranchiseKiller for fifteen years until another game was announced in 2020.
