The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Xbox

Too good for its own... good

Looks: WOW. Normal mapping is THE way to go with graphics. I can't say how amazing this game looks. Cinemas? Who needs 'em, when they just integrate important dialogue into gameplay. The first scene, walking into the jail, took my breath away. Getting a chance to jsut gawk at my new dirty, but beautiful surroundings was a great idea. Animation is evenly as amazing. Sounds: First off, the script is great. Lines are right on cue, and make sense for each character. Punches sound real, too. Everything sounds just as you would expect them to, as if you were actually there. Enough said. Controls: FUN!!! I've never had that much fun in a virtual fist fight. Weapons are equally as fun to use. Nothing's more satisfying than walking up to someone who has a knife, reversing when they try to cut you, and stabbing them under the chin. Gunplay is also amazing, even though it doesn't come up a whole ton. No complaints, though. Gameplay: The length of the game felt right. Not agonizingly long, not disappointingly short. Some parts of the game may have you scratching your head for a second, but that's all; just one second. Between the mix of the game's looks and gameplay, you'll feel like you're in Butcher Bay. Fun: Movie games don't get much better than this. Action games don't get much better than this. Shooters don't get much better than this. Games PERIOD don't get much better than this. BUY NOW.
