If Rare made a true, brilliant, high-budget Perfect Dark 2, it would EASILY surpass Halo 3, Gears 2 and Killzone 2 as the greatest shooter of this generation.

C'mon...sorry, but sales is one of the most important factors in "greatest" and Halo has pretty much locked that now...based on the initial results we are seeing this week...I didn't buy Perfect Zero, but I played it a little, and maybe it could be great...but to topple Halo...hmmm....

Did you play Perfect Dark?  The N64 original?  It's probably quite comfortably the best pre-halo shooter ever to appear on a console.

As someone said earlier in this thread, Rare don't seem to have been given one high-budget opportunity this generation.  Despite this, their average game quality is still just as high as it was during the N64 period.

If they were given a high-budget and had been developing for a long time (perhaps a year or so after PDZ came out), Perfect Dark 2 could own every console shooter released this year.
