Perfect Dark-N64

[Evil E]

I just picked up a used copy of Perfect Dark for my newly aquired N64. I have read it is arguably the best game for the system. They told me (at the store) that I need to buy the expansion pack to play this game. They said without the expansion pack, you can only play like 35% of the game--is this true, or were they just trying to get me to buy the expansion pack? I wanted to run it by you all before I buy one of those expansion pack things. Thanks!

True. Gives you a hi-res mode as well.

If you got the box or manual with the game, it should tell you what you can/can't play without the expansion pak... in case you didn't get the box or manual, here's what my copy says:
Multiplayer Challenges - With or Without Exp. Pak
1 Player (Solo Missions) - Only with Exp. Pak
1-2P Multiplayer (Combat Simulator) - With or Without Exp. Pak
1-4P Multiplayer (Combat Simulator) - Only with Exp. Pak
1-2P Cooperative - Only with Exp. Pak
2P Counter-Operative - Only with Exp. Pak
Up to Eight Simulants - With or without Exp. Pak
So yeah, there's a LOT of stuff you won't see in the game unless you have an expansion pak... Basically, all you get are the deathmatch modes, and only 1-2P at that.

Thanks Ze_ro! The game didn't come with a case or manual--so I guess I need to find one of those expansion packs for a halfway decent price. The store had one for $20, but I thought I could find one cheaper from someone here, or Ebay. We'll see....

At my ebgames they have N64s and expansion paks for only 15 bucks!... so check out your ebgames before you goto ebay.

Ewww-- I HATE EB games!! They are bastards, but do the N64's come with expansion packs for $15, or are they separate $15 each? I ask because I bought my N64 from them (which is why I am bitter towards them....long story...)

Lets see... If I remember right the 64s were 15 and the expansion paks were 10... Im not for sure tho.

Check the system before you buy one. A lot of people just threw away their Jumper Packs when they upgraded, so the store I worked out bought and sold the systems with the Expansion Pack for the same price.

Definitly need the Expansion Pak. How far into the game and VR missions are ya?
