That is of course with a few exceptions and one of those exceptions is Perfect Dark Zero. I throughly enjoyed the original and even though Rare have been butchering themselves lately I would still be interested in giving this game a go.<\/p>\n<p>What I wanted to look at are some of the character designs for a cel shadded Perfect Dark.

I personally would have prefered a cel shaded Perfect Dark over what ended up being a realistic final result. Just recently I have been playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/xiii\" target=\"_blank\">XIII<\/a>; the cel shaded FPS by Ubisoft.
