About this product

Product Information

A stealthy first-person action game with up-close combat and light 3D platforming, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a sequel to Starbreeze Studio's acclaimed Xbox action-adventure, Escape from Butcher Bay. Players resume the role of the nocturnally ocular Richard B. Riddick, first portrayed by Vin Diesel in the sci-fi movie Pitch Black, and then in 2004's Escape from Butcher Bay and the concurrently released Chronicles of Riddick feature film. Riddick's ability to see in the dark gives him advantages in the shadows, where he can often pass undetected. When his cover is blown, his martial arts mastery and ruthless fighting style make it difficult to beat him to the punch, and gunfights are more common in Assault on Dark Athena than in the earlier game.<br><br>The Assault on Dark Athena single-player story begins with Riddick and his current companion, the bounty hunter William Johns, in cryostatsis aboard their small ship, adrift in space. Riddick's "deep sleep" dreams (which serve as the game's tutorial stage) are interrupted as the vessel is boarded by pirates, who carry Johns off as Riddick hides in the shadows. As he explores the pirate's massive ship, called <i>The Dark Athena</i>, Riddick uncovers an injustice he can't abide and sets out to shut the entire operation down. In addition to the new sequel story, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena includes the complete Escape from Butcher Bay game, updated for play on the high-def generation consoles.

  • Excellent game. The recipe for movie games usually never works, but this one makes up for it ten-fold

    Probably the best movie licensed game made to date. Superb graphics (for 2009), outstanding voice acting and cast. Gameplay still holds up. Vin Diesel hit this one out of the park! If you're a fan of 1st person perspective games, dont miss out on this gem

  • Very underrated

    I loved the two games, gave some back story on what happened before pitch black. I had a blast playing them and recommend it to any gamer. The graphics are dated (2004,2009) but they are great for the time they came out

  • Product meets advertised quality

    This review isn’t about the gameplay as the game is well over a decade old and most people looking for it know what it is. The product arrived with no scratches to the disc and working as advertised

  • It’s an oldie but a goodie. Good mix of stealth tactics, run and gun, and hand to hand. Stories are fun as well if you are into that sort of thing.
