For those of you lucky enough to figure out how to set up your new Xbox 360, the system is perfect for first-person shooters. But while Dark Zero isn't as harrowing as Call Of Duty 2, as scary as Condemned, or as frantic as Quake IV, this cyberpunk shooter—where you play a futuristic bounty hunter who specializes in corporate espionage—still holds its own. Play is especially intriguing online, where our hero's acrobatic skills, ability to find cover, and state-of-the-art weaponry deliver death matches to die for. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the story mode, where trying to take down the corrupt dataDyne Corporation can be more frustrating than dealing with an 800-4MY-XBOX operator.
