The Chronicles of Riddik: Escape from Butcher Bay

Jul 26, 2004 02:27

One of the few games based on a movie that DOESN'T suck!!
Even though it's not really based on a movie, it just kinda sets the story of Riddik's powers and skills.
One of the great things about this game, is that Vin Diesel does the voice and "plays" as the character. Another great thing is that this game doesnt have many bugs or glitches with its heightened graphics.
This game also offers a degree of freedom. And, according to recent polls, freedom is good. Since Butcher Bay is a maximum security prison, You have to ,usually, buy or "persuade" someone to give you a make-shift weapon. Like a Shiv or Knuckleduster made out of a broken piece of metal. If you can't find anything, you can always use your fists to beat the shit out of some guard.
The greatest part of this game is the combat system. It is what Breakdown should have been. When a guard shoves you with his Gun and yells at you to " Stay the fuck back!". I feel obligated to jam a screwdriver into the back of his head. Or..if you dont have a screwdriver on you, you can counter his shove by turning the gun towards his face and making him blow his own head off. Like i said.. freedom is good.

I give this game a a 9/10. Some objects appear pixelated and the game is a bit short. The game has a few plot holes but who cares why? Right?
