Is this really FPS or should it be RPG?
User Rating: 8.8 | The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut PC
The Chronicles of Riddick; Escape From Butcher Bay – Developer’s Cut is falsely presented as a First-Person-Shooter, FPS, game. Granted, the gamer does have to duke-it-out with a few convicts to progress, but overall The Chronicles of Riddick needs to be classified as a roll playing game, RPG. It smacks so much of System Shock 2, or the Deus Ex Series, especially Deus Ex: The Invisible Wars. Only toward the end of the game does the FPS meet the author’s expectations of the genre First Person Shooter. Pick a side, good or evil, black or white, prison group blue or red. Throughout the game one is constantly striving to progress by manipulating other prisoners. “Kill the prisoner in cell 108 and I will give you the key to level 3”. The author found Riddick moving from one cell-block to another to barter, beg, or steal objects or codes to move on in the game. Overall, the plot is good. The game closely follows the movie, which the author can only have positive comments. Vin Diesel’s voice over really makes the game. His choice of verbiage complements the movie perfectly. He is definitely a cocky dude with an attitude. I will be playing the games again soon.
