A great gameStrengths: Great graphics, unique combination of game styles, good voice acting Weakness: on the short side, minor graphic gliches, no manual only a quick reference card I would highly recommend this game. You don't need to have seen the movies to enjoy this game, I haven't. This game uses several different playing styles at different points: stealth, "run and gun", fight game. The graphics are great. I have played HL2, Doom3, Far Cry and Unreal Tournament 2004 and this game's graphics compares very well to those games. One of my favorite parts is when Riddick is...

Activision The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from...Strengths: Terrific graphics, great character animation, good voice acting, & very atmospheric. Nice blend of stealth, fighting and shooting. Don't have to be familiar with the Riddick movies to enjoy the game. Weakness: Reasonably powerful video card and CPU necessary to fully appreciate the graphics. Fighting can be difficult at times. Not a long game. This game improves upon the Xbox version of the same title that preceded it: better graphics, improved control (via keyboard and mouse---the way God intended us to play first-person-shooter games like this), and an additional level. It also adds an interesting special feature---a commentary mode. With this feature active, certain objects in the game have a floating icon that can be activated,...

Activision The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from...Strengths: Great Graphics No problems installing Weakness: Load times between scenes are pretty long User interface is slightly awkward (jumping and combat) Great Game. It runs fine on my Sempron 3000+ (S754) and GeForce 6800OC. I had no problems loading it. The games is very violent (no big surprise) but fun. Jumping and some other activities use a type of cut scene which is takes a bit to get used to but otherwise the User Interface is pretty natural.

Activision The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from...Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay Weakness: Short A good game that's based on a movie?? Yup, believe it. Chronicles of Riddick has managed to escape the supposed curse that plagues movie to game conversions and has proven to be a thoroghly entertaining experience. The game's graphics are sharp. As in, extremely pretty. They're close to Doom III's graphical level and include advanced shadows and lighting which really look nice. The sound is good...

Activision The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from...Strengths: Awesome game. Weakness: None. This game is better than the movie that it is based on. This was Game of the Year in several game magazine for 2004. Ranks up there with HL2 and FarCry. Violent, but it is rated M for mature. Get it.

Activision The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from...Strengths: Great gameplay, as good a story as can be expected, DEFINITELY not of the normal caliber of movie-to-game crossovers. Weakness: Game length; about 10 hours. This is a prequel, and an excellent one. There is a fighting mode which effectively complements the normal FPS-style ranged combat. Of course, the absolute greatest innovation is commentary mode. You get to listen about nearly every decision the developers made, and I couldn't think of a more enjoyable learning experience. Get this game (assuming your computer has the guts to handle it; if not,...

Chronicles Of Riddick (PC)Strengths: Imprssive graphics, good FPS action, more content than the Xbox version Weakness: Steep system requirements, a bit on the short side Chronicles of Riddick is a port of the Xbox title of the same name. It takes place before the timeframe of the first Riddick movie (Pitch Black), with his time spent at Butcher Bay prison. It's classic FPS action, with melee and guns for weapons. Graphically, it looks great, though the requirements are a bit steep on some system. The PC version has some additional levels that weren't in the Xbox...

The Chronicles of RiddickStrengths: Feels like the movie, excellent graphics and sound, unique mix of gameplay Weakness: No multiplayer, a bit short. The developers did a fantastic job making this game feel like the movie. The graphics are very good; they do an excellent job of setting an appropriate dark mood. The voice overs were done by the actors themselves and sound very authentic. Gameplay is a mixture of stealth, shooting, and adventure genres; parts of the game will remind you of Metal Gear Solid, others of a first person shooter. I...

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Director's Cut
This little gem of a game is brought to us by the kind folks at Starbreeze Studios, a team that ought to be commended for taking a big movie license and making a more-than-respectable game out of it. The Chronicles of Riddick debuted in theatres this year as a sequel to 1999’s Pitch Black – both films giving major screentime to action star Vin Diesel - and Starbreeze’s game, Escape from... Top

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is perhaps one of the best sleeper titles we've every seen. What this means is that this is a game that really wasn't hyped up too much and not too many people were looking forward to it, but it sure kicks ass. TopAdvertisement

Riddick meets the critic
Strengths: Amazing graphics, realistic gameplay
Weakness: Requirements too high compared to similar games, gameplay can be too hard and frustrating, often leading to trial and error, gameplay often feels monotonous
After hearing about how great Chronicles of Riddick was, I finally broke down and bought the collector's edition about three months ago. Though I won't say that it's been a mistake (because, honestly, I have enjoyed at least SOME parts of it) I most certainly refuse to say that it was a good decision. Yes, Riddick is violent, grotesque, and realistic. The graphics are wonderful. But what about...
