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.

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 The Dark Athena, 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.

Decent Game
Decent Game probably only worth a rent but for the right price i...t could definately be worth it. This disc includes two games in one. The popular 2004 xbox only release of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and the new Assult on Dark Athena. I've played butcher bay when it orginally came out and its worth the price of this double pack alone. The new expansion had the possiblity to be a great stealth combat game. It starts out really strong with the shadow play and great stealth kills but slowly starts giving you guns and other ramdom weapons which turns the game into yet another bland shooter with set coarse of destruction and hoards of mindless enemys. The Assult on Dark Athena game is split into two seperate areas. first area is where you begin the game onboard a mercenaries spaceship after it captures your ship while drifting in space. (what are the odds?) As you make you way through the ship you encounter a group of prisioners within a holding bay that you are forced to help. There is somekind of past story line with the ships hellbent chick captian Rivas. Your plan is simple just escape like in butcher bay. but unlike butcher bay which prey heavily on stealth throughout the game about half way throught the first area it turns into a run and gun platformer game that wouldnt even be worth more than a weekend rental. The only thing that slightly saved the game was the second area. Its a planet riddick crash lands on after escape the athena. Compared to the first area which is a dark murky spaceship this area is a well-lit outdoor beach haven with somekind of factory/castle structure you must infaltrate. I found this part the best section of the game climbing/hanging/scaling ledges and taking out unsupecting guards. but once inside the fortess it was back to the old grime of run and gun killing. Moreover the games seemed short and distant cry from what the orginal had to offer. I completed the game with about 7 hours on normal difficulty. There was few random side missions and collected item i neglected to find or complete cuz they only granted you production art and photos. The Graphics are first rate and vin diesel voice dialoge keeps the player involve in riddicks character. I didnt get a chance to play the multiplyer section of the game but if it was anything like the single player game movement and weapon selection it wouldnt be anything all that great. The Game had such potential with awesome stealth kills and shadow vision but changing game style and bland gameplay in area's dont give the game much lasting appeal. I'm sad to see it didnt become one of the more popular stealth combat games.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PS3)
Good solid single pl...ayer experience. 2 solo campaigns: Butcher Bay (12 hour playthrough) and Dark Athena (8 hour playthrough) with tons of unlockables sprinkled throughout the levels. Enemy A.I. is beastly on harder difficulty settings, but not impossible. Multiplayer online is a welcome addition and will likely entertain you for an additional 10 hours. However, the community of players is small to nonexistent. You'll likely play the same people over and over again no matter what. Trophy support increases the overall value, but you'll likely never, ever go platinum unless you boost. If you find this game in the bargain bin, definitely pick it up!

Like sneaking around killing people?
Chronicles of riddick:Assault on Dark A...thena is one hot game, I bought it about a month ago and I almost have it beat. Now I'm no big time gamer I just like to kick back and play some cool games. I really like it because Vin Desel is in it, I love his voice. But I also like that you get to sneak around and kill people. What I don't like is that it is alot like Butcher Bay but then again I think they wanted it like that, I don't know what the co-op is like because I don't have x-box live.
