1UP (http://www.1up.com) has a roundtable discussion (http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=0&cId=3145242) regarding PD0 for the XBox 360. The guys at 1UP gave it a bit more of a positive spin than I gave it. (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6110)

Che: PDZ's gameplay is definitely its greatest strength, although, unfortunately, it's also the one aspect that's hardest to pick up on if you haven't gotten hands-on with it yourself. I like the controls personally. The game moves a little slower, like Halo, and has the best of both first-person and third-person elements in it.

Matt: I was very impressed by how the guns felt at X05. They take a slight bit longer to get used to what with the secondary fire and gadget-like approach, but as far as the base controls, I don't see how anyone's going to complain.

Ryan: Yeah, it's actually quite a bit of fun. The rooftop level shown at X05 was really pretty well crafted. I like being able to watch my partner take down opposition from the other side of the map; and in co-op, playing together to complete objectives is definitely fun enough. Online co-op...you just can't beat it.
I guess we'll all find out in 3 weeks just how good/bad Perfect Dark 0 really is.

This title,(perhaps more than any of the other 'launch window' titles) has gone up and down my list of 'must haves' more times than I care to mention. Just let me play the damn thing!!!

Agreed. It seems like every article on PD0 involves a radical shift in perspective from "terrible" to "awesome" back to "terrible" again, even with the same writer. I just decided to bite the bullet and make it one of my two game purchases along with Kameo (which looks to be a pretty sure bet to me). I toyed with the idea of picking up Project Gotham, but I'm not a big racing fan. There still remains a lot of variety in the launch line up (despite recent cancelations), but there still isn't anything that really wows me. I have just accepted my fate as an early adopter, and that, not any of the launch titles, is the primary reason I already have mine paid for. Console purchases are one of my material indulgence. There is just something about new hardware, new controller, interface, etc. that gets my geek on.

Co-Op play sells this title for me.

Co-Op is exactly what sold me too. I got my brother a copy of this game for x-mas specifically so we could play together over live.

Heh, I thought I deleted that post. It was just suppose to be a test to see if the posts were working again. :)
