Ok, This game is fun I beat both campain's on Normal and the controls go well together. But this is hard and for those that gave bad reviews, just did not play as long as they should have. I spent a lot of time playing and I played it for a about 2 to 3 months and found it a lot of fun multiplayer can be awfully laggy and some modes get repetitive. Pitch Black modes is a lot of fun but with only a few maps this can get repetitive the but I never got the map pack so I'm not sure if that adds much. Both playing and defeating Riddick has a great feel. Multiplayer has a real Old-school feel where there are some classic modes. But there is NO voice chat I'm guessing thats because Starbreeze had an idea that, that would ruin the mood. There are no ragdolls in the multiplayer which feels weird at first but you will get used to it. I'm around rank 10 out of 100 players in arena mode. I got around a 20 kill killing spree on that. Riot mode is fun and I'm around the twentifh percent tile. Single player has a more next-gen feel and is also addictive Melee combat feels great in both modes but is fantastic in single player and all combat has a very brutal feel. I got annoyied by a character in the new campain where he is supposed to be crazy and he seems nice and first but they you realize who he really is. He has an extremely filthy mouth in one line in the script, along is another person that is crazy. This make the world feel darker than the original with more characters that you don't have to feel remorse for. Both have long lengths and feel like movies after beating both campains thats when mp really gets fun. But still be aware that there is repetitiveness in here.
