DESCRIPTION
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. ~ T.J.

“Finished Escape from Butcher Bay on Normal difficulty. Looks like I missed a couple side-quests and cigarette packs along the way, judging by the in-game Accomplishments.”

“So as it turns out. I'm more of a run and gun kinda guy instead of the sneaky type. Didn't get very far, maybe I'll go back to it.”

“Killed that fella Rust, shived him with a shank, then shanked him with a shiv in that classic Vin Diesel voice. "You're in my cell"”

“Stick to the shadows, the dark is your friend. Kill with stealth or annihilate your foes with a blast from an asault rifle. New enemies, new ways to kill and new weapons with which to kill. You're the ultimate predator - go eyeshine, go hunt.”

“If you are a fan of Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick then you can't go wrong with this game. Plus you get the old game Escape from butcher bay as well. The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena is very short so keep that in mind.”
