Chronicles of Riddick Review December 14, 2004
My review of The Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay went up today at GameSpy.com. Said the quote monkey:
It was a suprisingly good game, even if it was a bit short and had only a limited palate of weapons and environments. The stealth game was fun if you suspended disbelief about a few things. Namely, if I ever build a futuristic penal planet, I'm either going to leave out the ventilation ducts or fill them chin deep with scorpions.Wait, wait. I know what you're probably thinking about The Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay, especially if you didn't pay attention to the Xbox version released earlier this year. Games based on movie licenses are safely ignored by discriminating gamers, I know. That's a good instinct you should go with most of the time, but The Chronicles of Riddick is a rare exception. The folks at Starbreeze Studios based a first-person shooter around a character from a summer popcorn flick, but they also made it a really fun, really polished amalgam of action, RPG, and adventure genres.
