I was hooked right from the first 60 seconds of the game, from the moment when a fellow convict says "What are you waiting for man? Break his **&^%!@ neck..." in a whispered hispanic accent.
Best graphics on XBOX ever! November 28, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First the movie surprised me and then the game. When I heard there was going to be a new Riddick movie, I just knew it would be garbage. And when I saw the game in Circuit City, I almost burst out laughing. I WAS WRONG ! The movie was decent, but the game is where its at. These graphics are the best I've ever seen. It makes you wonder how games with crappy graphics ever make it on the shelves. This is how every game should look on xbox. Right after I played this game I went and bought HALO 2 and I thought those graphics sucked. HALO 2 graphics don't suck but my point is that this game will spoil the heck out of you. The one bad thing I'll say is that sometimes its hard to figure out what to do and where to go. You will wander around a bit. Other than that this is one of the best games I ever played. You can use stealth, or go in guns/fists blazing. But be warned, this game is short so rent it or buy it cheap.
 1st Person Shooter November 27, 2004

Not that great but Not the worst. Mostly first person shooter and more doom style gameplay and the suffering style prison escape except less scary but the graffics are better but difficult to see clearly all the time. Worst part Riddick doest do very much cool stuff other than hidding and see in the dark but you might like it, it's still fun to shoot stuff
Riddick Will Never Die!!!!!! November 14, 2004

The chronicles of riddick: escape from butcher bay may become the best xbox game ever created. This game literally came out of nowhere to become what i think as the most fun and challenging games for xbox since the release of Halo. I saw both Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick and i loved them. So, when i found out that they had a game for xbox about Riddick, i got up and went over to wal-mart and bought it there, without even looking at the price. Well, however much i payed for this game was worth it, because i is my favorite.
You start off inside Butcher Bay, the galaxy's toughest triple max pison. This is one of the best parts in the game because you can explore the cell block all you want, and find some cool tasks to do along the way. Eventually, Riddick (whose voice is done by Vin Diesel, and there are also other famous voice talents in the game, like Xzibit)tries to find a way out, and in the process kills a gang leader along with many other prisoners. He finds a way out of the cell block. This is where the real adventure starts. Riddick finds his way through literally hours upon hours of gameplay, going throught mines to vents to sewers to guards quarters to even a gas filled room. The storyline is an extremely good aspect of this game, as it is deep and richly detailed.
Don't be fooled by the movies, this game is all about using your stealth and your mind to find a way around. You will not survive through the fist few levels if all you do is run and gun. The stealth action in this game even compares to the almighty Splinter Cell. The game even has a horror-kind of theme in some levels, where you are in the pitch black and there are weird zombie like things and strange creatures after you, sometimes sneaking up behind you. You will jump a few times. Also, for those who think all you use is guns, you are wrong. It is a blessing if you get a gun, which makes this game so unique for a FPS (first person shooter). Most of the time you will either be using your fists, clubs, or crude knives called shivs. When you do get a gun, you are so used to being deprived of one that it kind of takes away some of the fun, because it is fun to sneak up behind guards and break their necks or cut their throats with a shiv. The best gun is the traquilizer, it shoots an electro-magnetic pulse into them, causing the enemy to fall. You then have to kill them or they will get back up. Other weapons include shotgun, brass knuckles, assault rifle, minigun, pistol, and grenades.
The graphics in this game are arguably the best ever created, its only competition being Doom 3 or the Unreal series, both on the PC. The shadows are great, as with the lighting, casting real life shadows on objects from wherever the light source is located. Riddick's "eyeshine" which enables him to see in the dark, is also a very great tool for going through dark vents or hallways, or for sneaking up on your enemy in the darkness.
PROS
awesome graphics
grat story
addicting gameplay
great weapons/makeshift weapons
excellent interactive world
great missions
great stealth-action
GREAT GAME
CONS
Extremely Violent
Extremely Bad Language
Controls can be a little tedious (but hey, you are on a console)
Some missions are downright hard, even on the easy skill level.
Overall, this game will become either the best or one of the best xbox games ever created, and the still shocking thing is that it cam out of NOWHERE, no one could have predicted about how good this game is. If it is not in your xbox right now and you are playing it, buy it. I would pay $100 for this game anyday. This is my favorite game, a must buy.
