Perfect Dark was considered the better game because it improved upon… pretty much everything. For those who were there… yeah, GoldenEye was the shit, but Perfect Dark was just a better GoldenEye but without the 007 license. And that’s really all it was. Rare got the license to make GoldenEye but they weren’t granted a license to make another one. I think it went to EA after that? So Rare made a sequel to GoldenEye anyway, but they made Bond a woman called Joanna Dark (IIRC) and, like a good sequel, they improved upon everything they thought needed improving. The only issue was, the main character wasn’t a man called James Bond.
