Im soooo relieved that this game is really good based on the demo of course. The graphics are great and very atmosphric perfect atomosphere for a riddick game. The kill moves with the Ulaks are quick and gory GREATT lol Preordered this game as soon as i heard it being developed but this just sets my purchase in stone played the demo hundreds of times aint bored yet!!
I was a great fan of the previous game on the original Xbox and so was looking forward to this. The demo seemed ok and although I did suspect as it was a demo the final game would have been improved. I was wrong. The graphics looks very blurred and not very sharp at all - the gameplay isn't too bad, but there are too many locations that force you into a slugging match as there is no cover and no shadow to stealth from. Riddick seems to slope along and there doesnt seem to be a run button (very annoying when getting shot at and you are trying to retreat) He also feels very sluggish to control. There are also times when guards will see you even when you are in stealth mode and in the shadows (and no, they aren't using torches or night-vision) The game looks very last gen imo. A great shame as I think if they had ironed out the obvious problems with the game it could have been something special. As it is - it's mediocre at best. I wouldn't want to pay more than £20 for it.
I have just finished Escape From Butcher so am talking from first hand not some stupid demo.
It is one of the better games this year. It has a great variety of missions. Stealth, action, bosses etc. I loved playing every minute and am now starting Athena section. You get 2 full games and that is pretty great value for money.
The graphics are OK but the gameplay is superb. Sometimes you have to compromise.
All in all this is 10/10!!!
Based on Demo, I was extremely impresed, the developers have done wonders with some excellent shadow, lightings ,atmosperical effects! this plays on full res 1080p (how many games dev. have the time or skill to dev to that standard?) there is no pixelation at all, ultra realistic graphics and you literally get 2 games in one! the original (re-vamped,improved for nex gen) and the new second chapter!! I think this is a hot title and keep playing the demo over and over!!! can;t wait for full game to arrive.
