Superb gameplay reminiscent of Half-Life, but with much better graphics, voice acting and story. Not a particularly long game but it's so much fun I'll probably play it over and over until I'm sick of it. I wish you had the ability to knock people out when sneaking, as in Thief, but it's good to have the stealth component in the game anyway. A really good game to play while waiting for HL2 to arrive on the XBox. As Riddick you frequently are under-weaponed, wielding shivs against machinegun-toting guards, so stealth is critical. A very brutal game with very harsh language deserving of an M rating - as Riddick you have to kill dozens if not hundreds of people, many with your bare hands. Terrific graphics and sound effects, music is minimal but effective. Playing at the normal difficulty it's not really a hard game though the enemies have good AI. A tremendous achievement by all involved, hope we get a sequel.
