Definitely a game worth playing

User Rating: 8.5 | The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena PS3
Let me start off by saying that Butcher Bay is a must-play. It is an awesome game simply because of the depth of it. The prisoners mindless banter between themselves, the side missions, and the subplots all add to the awesome package. Who doesn't like skulking around dimly lit prisons and air vents for a couple hours? Dark Athena on the other hand capitalizes on a few things that BB did. It has great sneaking action, hand to hand combat, and strong shooting mechanics. Although the shooting mechanics don't seem as developed as other FPS games, but then again this wouldn't be classified as full fledge FPS I suppose. For instance, the enemies in the game can take very long to kill and the rifle is almost wildly inaccurate at long ranges except when you're crouching. There are not nearly as many side missions in Dark Athena as there is in BB. Overall, Dark Athena is more of the same, with strong visuals and tremendous, if not a little silly, voice acting of Vin Diesel. It is at least worth renting for Butcher Bay.
