A hidden classic buried in the Xbox library.

User Rating: 9.5 | The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay XBOX
By ds127 | Review Date:
The Chronicles of Riddick is the evidence that movies and games can coexist, if done right. It lives up to the pedigree of triple A games such as Halo and Splinter Cell and downright mixes up the concepts of a first person game.

Graphics: People say they play games for the gameplay, but this game will make them doubt themselves at heart. The entire world feels so real and detailed that you know and recognize the characters instead of being reminded who is who.

Sound: Ever hear a man say something aloud only to mutter under his breath as a guard passes by? The voices are pitch perfect and most of all, believable. The soundtrack pumps and makes you feel like you are an action hero.

Gameplay: Ah, the bread and butter of the game. It never misses a beat, from sneaking around to pistol popping to snapping necks. Riddick makes you feel large and in charge.

Kid Rating: 15+ (Not for the faint of heart)

Awards:
Holy Cow! (Plenty of jaw dropping moments)
Handles like a dream (controls go above and beyond)
Awesome single player

Faults:
Microscopic (Too tiny to be in print)

Random:
Needs a multiplayer mode
