The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

Summary

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PS3)
What you're about to read is my second attempt to review Dark Athena. My first review was too critical of Dark Athena because, when compared to Escape from Butcher Bay-a remake is included on the disc and I highly recommend you play it first-it looks a little weak. But I started over again when I realized that Dark Athena isn't a stand-alone title so much as it is a complement to Butcher Bay; that's when it dawned on me that I should be treating the two titles as a total package. In that light, Dark Athena starts to shine a hell of a lot brighter.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Review
For all of its faults, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena could be a decent first person shooter, but following its predecessor, Escape from Butcher Bay is similar to following the Beatles or rolling Stones ? you?ve got to do something new and exciting to make your audience forget about what came before. Sadly, Dark Athena tries nothing new and gives us a hackneyed version of a much loved game engine. Hey, at the very least it?s better than Wheelman?

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is more than a simple remake of Escape from Butcher Bay. But you wouldn't hear us complaining even if it were.
