This was such a great game. This is a series that I feel could really use a reboot, because it was insanely fun. Even the multiplayer that was added into it was great and I’m pretty sure has been stolen and used in other games by now just under different names. Many people won’t attribute this game to being as groundbreaking as it was, and it never did get very popular, but it’s a classic by any standards. I don’t even have an Xbox 360 anymore and I still love this game. Worth a play by any gamer.
Best game ever! Vin Diesel is sexy
I have to say, I am extremely surprised and pleased about this game! It’s been a whole lot of fun to play, and keeps getting better as I go, besides the fact that you’re really getting TWO games here (Escape from Butcher Bay AND Assault on Dark Athena). The first person stealth and shooter aspects are well done, and I personally have found the game play to be fairly addicting. For this price, it is DEFINETLY worth picking this up.
This new package contains the original “Escape From Butcher Bay” as well as the newer chronicles – “Assault on Dark athena”, thus 2 great games in one. A great 1st person shooter with adventure added. They did a great picture quality remaster of original “Escape from Butcher Bay”. this also has Online MultiPlayer mode.The only problem was there are only save spots and you can not save when you want, but, save spots are close enough.So, my rating is 5 out of 5 for great fun and 2 games in one box.
Assault on Dark Athena is a mediocre game. Butcher’s Bay was a great game.Gameplay is generally rather repetitive, and I found the cut scenes overall unimpressive. If it’s between this and Butcher’s Bay, buy the latter.
I would recommend this game to any fan of the Riddick franchise. This is a great action stealth shooter. 5*’s
The chronicles of riddic assult leaves off right after butcher bay so if you didn’t play butcher bay on the Xbox i mean i ruled at that game but then i traded it in with my Xbox to get the 360 so if you didn’t play it yet i suggest you get the guide for it because it’s hard the first time you play it but then you get use to it after while and assult is easy. so that game won’t give you any trouble anyway the 5 stars is how much they improved the graphics for butcher bay in hd. and assult looks good to but i bought mine for butcher bay. I don’t know about any of the old Xbox owners who loved butcher bay but it’s still assult just wasn’t that good.
Just when I thought I would never find a shooter as good as Half Life…! The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is essentially a gold mine of gaming that consists of two excellent titles. The first is a revamp of the classic “Escape from Butcher Bay” and the second is the sequel “Assault on Dark Athena.” Both games are fairly lengthy and add up to at least a good 30 to 40 hours of gameplay. Through the course of each game, there are many environments, characters and goals. For instance, most of the objectives are achieved by doing favors for people who in turn do favors for you. There is an awesome section in “Butcher Bay” where you are able to explore the mining prison whilst challenging inmates to brutal ring fights. At the end of the fights, you are ushered to a new phase of the game. Most of the levels unfold this way.I really don’t have enough good things to say about this series. It’s flat out the most fun I’ve had playing Xbox since “Half Life 2.” Definitely a must buy!PSIf you’re sensitive to harsh content, look elsewhere! Halo may be rated M but it doesn’t even come close to the terror, intensity and language that this game is packed with. It’s all necessary for the realistic “prison” environment, but it’s still pretty hardcore.
This package is incredible. The remastered version of ‘Butcher Bay’ from 2004 is amazing–it still graphically holds up even today and the voice acting and most important, gameplay, are top notch. The game really feels like you are in a Riddick movie, in the epic world with so many interesting details crammed in everywhere you look. Though some people didn’t like the gun-fighting, I thought it was really fun, but the melee (hand to hand) combat is exhilarating and looks realistic and brutal. The sequel, Dark Athena, which I’ve only played a little bit of, just to try it out, seems to be just as fun, not quite as creative in terms of gameplay elements, but definitely a great first person experience with yet again good graphics (for some reason some disagree) and excellent voice work. The most important element of a game is its fun factor–this package is packed with fun, it’s got the amazing single player campaigns, and then it has the super multiplayer modes (Pitch Black mode is addicting…). If you love scifi games and movies, I strongly recommend this game to you. Trust me it does not disappoint. This is coming from someone who never played ‘Butcher Bay’ when it first released in ’04, so I’m really experiencing Riddick games for the first time, but as a gamer, this gaming package is top notch, by all standards. I say it is worth the money you pay.(Multiplayer mode by this point has a lot more people online, so you can probably jump right in to play)Hope this game gets the.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena like Half Life: Orange Box is a great deal that’s worth your hard earned cash. Why? Well you get not one but two of the best movie licensed games ever made that are fun from start to finish. Next, there’s multiplayer that has a new mode called pitch black which is mercs verse riddick which can be fun. If it’s still not enough then there are plenty of extras and achievements to get that are challenging. The games have everything you need, story, gameplay, graphics, good voice work(Vin Diesel), and fun. The only reason I don’t give this a five star rating is that the multiplayer can lag therefore being jumpy but hopefully a patch is released to solve the problem. Besides that, this is a treat for any casual or hardcore gamer, that I highly recommended!
