I can honestly say this was my favorite xbox gameThe graphics were incredible, there as good as 360 without a doubt.The story, weapons and controls are all flawless.Buy this game today. Fun fun fun
Overall presentation - More like a movie than a video game.
Still have the old Xbox.
By comparison, Riddick makes Halo and Half-Life look like goofy lightweights.
Didn't pick this one up.
I found myself surviving for inordinately long spans of time after "Starting to think like Riddick would."Controls/shooting mechanic - As good as Halo if not better.
How it wasn't backwards compatible and where the updated version for 360 currently is.I can't even begin to fathom.Visuals - Best ever on the Xbox.
This game is worth brushing off the dust & reconnecting the old system.
Immersion - Beyond compare.
(And I say this as someone who has logged an embarrassing amount of fanboy time on both of those titles).
A good portion of the game consists of running between people in the prison to get what you need to advance. This game had perfect graphics for it's time and had near perfect gameplay. Just when it seems like you are going to escape, you are stopped, and pushed further into Butcher Bay.Sound- 10/10Vin Diesel does the voice of Riddick in this game. The rest of the game, around 75% of it, is a lot harder. I just can't give it a perfect score due to some minor problems. You will become stressed out trying to get past 10 enemies with nothing but a shiv.Overall- 9/10I can't give this game a perfect score due to its difficulty, backtracking, and pacing. In the beginning of the game, they hint a lot of gun fighting.
This slows the game down a lot and gives you a lot of backtracking to do.Difficulty- 8/10 (Note- This is how much I like the difficulty)When you have guns, this game is simple and very easy. Machines and guns have brilliantly put together sound effects. The game is more of a stealth/fighter game. Along the way you meet an interesting cast of characters that will either help you or halt your progress.
They aren't too long, but they are constantly being pushed on you.Story- 10/10You are Riddick. This is not a bad thing, and is in most ways very refreshing. The Chronicles of Riddick- Escape from Butcher BayAfter the success of the movies, Riddick Trilogy (Pitch Black/ The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury/ The Chronicles of Riddick), it is destined to have a video game to go along with it. The load times are the only drag on this game. This is one of the very few movie games that actually turned out to be any good.Graphics- 9.5/10Everything is perfect. Luckily, this game did not follow the storyline of the movie.
Don't get me wrong; this is a fantastic game. Sounds fade in and out as you get closer to the sound.Gameplay- 8.5/10This game is less of a shooter and more of a fighting game.
Things are shaded well, people look good, your weapons look good, everything is good. You do not like this idea and decide you escape.
You have been sent to Butcher Bay, an extremely secure prison, to rot the rest of your life. Don't be fooled by this.
Very rarely do video games have their true voice actors. You are a murderer.
Every character in this game has voice-overs. It's one of my favorite games in fact.
Riddick is actually voiced by Vin Diesel so don't dread. I was a huge fan of Pitch Black and its 2 sequels, plus I love XBOX games so it was a no brainer that this game was on my to buy list. The game is fun and challenging and has an interesting story to boot, even more so if you're a fan of the franchise. The game was basically created to promote and cash in on the movie Chronicles of Riddick that was released the same year.
People who like stealthy games and such would probably really enjoy this game. I loved the movie, and thought the game would be pretty cool. Not everyone will love this game, and not everyone will hate it. I felt as though I was just wasting bullets in this game. Okay, so there are a ton of reviews that say this game is awsome and so on.
I first got the game because everyone went on about how wonderful it was. However, after playing for a while I found the game a bit repetative. Well, personally I didn't really like it that much. I know I can aim and shoot, I've playing the Silent Hill games, and it's a bit difficult to aim at times but I manage.
I just really didn't care for it.Hope this review helps. Okay, so I'm aiming, but can't there be at least a better aiming system. Maybe I just don't games where I have to be stealthy, lol. At first I found it interesting, and the graphics were quite excellent.
I also found that Riddick can't shoot. I know people will have different opinions about the game, and that's fine.
