I didn't expect much when coming into this game if im honest. I've played a fair few movie to game conversions in the past and all of them have been pretty bad....
However there is a gleam of hope for these conversions and this is it! This game is actually very good. I've been told that Escape from Butchet bay was also decent but haven't gotten my hands on it yet. Anyway.
This game does what it set out to do and does so very well. It's a combination of FPS action and stealth. Graphically it looks nice. Gameplays pretty solid and the AI isn't to shabby either. Didn't find any major bugs or problems with the game which would put people off playing it. As a whole this is a very good game for if you have a spare weekend when you can sit down and bash out a game in a few hours.
Taking in mind the other games around, COD, Bioshock, etc, this Riddick is a wate of money, rubbish pc controls, rubbish graphics, looks and feels like a 4 year old game!!!
A good game if you can find it, thanks to Atari this is extremely hard to find brand new for the PC.
I played the original Butcher Bay back when it was released and it holds up quite well, the redone graphics are excellent and the story is just as engaging. The new Dark Athena story is well acted and has various locations and characters; quite an interesting story though not as long as Butcher Bay.
The new multiplayer could have been better. The actual multiplayer mode is well made, the Pitch Black game type is a riot but it's too hard to find and/or host a game as there is no match making service like Games for Windows Live, which also makes the accomplishments (achievements) a bit meaningless.
Overall I would recommend this, an essential purchase for Riddick fans.
