VG Soundtrack of the Day 062: Perfect Dark


The year 2000 was the year that at long last Perfect Dark was released on the N64. The game was a highly anticipated follow up to 1997's GoldenEye 007, a game that helped cement the N64 as a multiplayer machine. Perfect Dark was like better GoldenEye with far more weapons, levels and customizable options to use in multiplayer matches. A big favorite of mine was the option to choose your background music to listen to while you run around killing your friends. Perfect Dark's soundtrack is very sci-fi, fitting for a game that features lots of futuristic weaponry and aliens. Music comes in two flavors, the standard, normal level them and the X version of that theme, a more pumped up, much faster paced jam. I was a big fan of the X tunes, specifically dataDyne Central: Defection X. I picked that song so many times it irked my friends. Also, wow this game is 20 years old! Where has the time gone?
