Summary: Savagely Brilliant
Comment: Still have the old Xbox ?
Didn't pick this one up ?

This game is worth brushing off the dust & reconnecting the old system.
How it wasn't backwards compatible and where the updated version for 360 currently is...I can't even begin to fathom.

Visuals - Best ever on the Xbox.
Immersion - Beyond compare. I found myself surviving for inordinately long spans of time after "Starting to think like Riddick would."
Controls/shooting mechanic - As good as Halo if not better.
Overall presentation - More like a movie than a video game.

By comparison, Riddick makes Halo and Half-Life look like goofy lightweights.
(And I say this as someone who has logged an embarrassing amount of fanboy time on both of those titles.)

Chronicles of Riddick acts as a prequel to "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles Of Riddick". The enigmatic antihero namedRiddick escaped from one of the universe's most violent prisons, Butcher Bay. This game presents the story of how he escaped triple-max security.
