this game has the best stealth since splinter cell, one of the most fun fighting things ever, good vo, and good graphics but that is it. Other than that it is easy, repetitive, boring, and no replay value. I played for 8 hours and was on 3rd to last thing. It bored me into selling it. Overall a great rental but dont buy it.

A very good game

I saw the Chronicles of Riddick movie and wanted to see more of the Riddick character. So, I bought this game. I finished it in two days. It was really fun. It had a lot of pointless language, and it's all about killing people. But it is a good game overall. When you beat the game you don't have to stop playing. You can go back and try to collect packs of cigarrettes that have weird, but sometimes funny, names. The graphics are surprisingly good. The reason I gave this four stars is because the writing could have been better.

Good game; glitches keep it from being great

PROS:
- Starbreeze Engine (Swedish), excellent visuals and style. Eyeshine purple is pretty.
- real actor's voice (although he's just as thick as a brick in the game as he is in his stupid action movies).
- interesting health regeneration and upgrade system.
- very interesting unexpected cyrosleep level.

CONS:
- Not much enemy variety
- for a FPS - First Person Shooter, this game is low on the shooting. guns are everywhere and much of the time you can't use them.
- multiple very bad glitches: 1) allows you to get significantly far into the game without certain items/weapons you will need later forcing you to restart earlier levels. 2) glitch so bad that it forces you to consult the internet to see what is going wrong in which the game tells you to get on a spaceship (you can try this a million times and it won't work unless you kill Riot Guards, which the game does NOT tell you have to do). 3) other minor glitches too in which NPC scripts fail to activate if the game thinks you did something out-of-order. Happens with prisoner missions and later down in the mines as well... These glitches give the game an automatic -1 star or worse. This is just bad beta or game testing.
- too derivative of Splinter Cell with: hide in shadow, crouch down, knock out, drag body away, etc.

What A Joke

I bought the Xbox about 3 months ago and yes I like it but I have learned one thing. Every game released for it is extremely overhyped and when it comes out you find out the game is a joke like Riddick. First off no it isn't better then Halo which was a overhyped game but has good controls just like it. The setup is new compared to other games. The charecter models are so narrow and tall looking with everything having more jaggies around it then the best looking PS2 game. Im sorry I just keep finding myself getting lured into overhyped games for the Xbox which turn out horrid. Definatly play first and do not listen to the hype fanboys have given it because there not telling the truth in any way shape or form. Buy Rainbow Six 3 for the Gamecube or pre order Halo 2 instead.

1st Person Shooter

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

Oops here comes another while we wait for Doom3/Halo2

If you have alot of money to spend and have to play a game now then go for it. I would reccomend Full Spectrum Warrior (same release date.) FPS games are so common now that you should try something new and wait for the REALLY good FPS games that are coming: Doom 3, Halo2, Half-Life 2....yadayadayada. The game is also to short to constitute $50.

oh yah woo ha!!

This game is going to be great! I've seen the in game screenshots and read the reviews. Rag doll graphics and intense game play will make game a sure #1. It's going to be just as great as halo with doom 3 graphics. I cant wait for this game to come out. I've defiantly got this game on my wish list. If you have not seen the photos of this game I urge you to do so. After reading about the part where you are stuck in the old prison under ground, and hundreds of mutant cannibal prisoners attacking you in the pitch black, I told every one I know, who equally shared my enthusiasm. Get this game and you will be pleased. It will defiantly make the wait for halo 2 much more bearable.

close but to far away
