Great Game June 23, 2008
I played this game on Xbox and it was very fun. It was hard to put this game down. Well worth the purchase.

The game is fun and has a lot of different angles to it. A great first person shooter game.

If you have an n-vidia you're going to need to download the patch to play. The game itself is awesome and if you like the Riddick saga, you need to get this this.
 Great game, horrible install October 31, 2007

I've played this game for a few days now and can safely say that there are some great gameplay qualities within. I have a pretty decent machine so I can max everthing out and still get max framerates. However, this game is a few years old, so don't get your hopes TOO high. The skin textures are awesome, but the clothing textures look like skin, so it makes them look a little wierd. The voice overs are a little cheezy, but then again, so was the dialog in the movies.
However, the install process can kill the greatness of this game, and that's why I gave it 3 stars. Do yourself a favor before installing. Get a non-writable PC CD player cheap! This game uses SecuRom copy protection and it hates CD/DVD writers. Most likely, this game will crash on disc three after 15-20 min of installing. Turning DMA off and all of the other nonsense that Sierra and Vivendi tell you to do will most likely not work. Also, make sure your video card is at least GeForce6 series or better or the ATI equivalent. If your card doesn't support OpenGL 1.3 or later, you won't be playing.
Vin Diesel rocks!
Solid--not groundbreaking, but very well made November 5, 2006

First off, dont go thinking this game is anything revolutionary. Second, dont go in thinking this is a movie tie in. Though it was released along with the crapicles of Riddick film, this games hardly takes place in the same fictional universe. Butchers Bay takes place in the same Aliens-esque world that pitch black took place in. Chronicles was more of a dune-esque universe. This game is dark, gritty, and visceral.
It doesnt break any new ground...its basically a combination of Metal Gear Solid, Thief, and Doom3 based games. But it sticks to its guns and does what it does extreeeeemely well. Its fun, its well made, and its a solid game all around.
also, playing as an over-the-top unstoppable and far-too-cool-for-his-own-ego superstar is a LOT more fun than actually watching one. This game is a gem!
