Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the game of the year

bycarl_lazarevic Feb 5, 2005
80 Helpfuls 81 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros graphics, sound, atmosphere, depth, stealth, melee combat.
Cons switching to third person in a dark area.
Recommended it? Yes

If there's one thing that can make every videogame reviewer cringe in unison it's the news of a game release based on the next big summer blockbuster to hit the big screen. This was the reaction most people gave to the news that Universal were all set to release a game based on the feature film The... Read full review »

I'm Not Afraid of the Dark?The Dark is Afraid of Me

byHorhay Dec 30, 2004
43 Helpfuls 44 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros flawless combination of stealth and action
Cons some jaggy graphics here and there, it's a bit short
Recommended it? Yes

That's just one of the intimidating lines you'll hear Vin Diesel say during The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Butcher Bay is a maximum security prison located on a mining planet. No inmate has ever successfully escaped Butcher Bay. But the game's main character, Riddick, isn't... Read full review »

A Riddick-ulously Pleasant Surprise

byawoolcott Jun 5, 2004
43 Helpfuls 44 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Beautiful graphics, great stealth/FPS hybrid, quite a bit of replay
Cons Some will be annoyed at lack of any multiplayer and 10 hour game length
Recommended it? Yes

When it comes to movie licenses and video games, the pair tend to not mix well. There's the ET fiasco some 20 years ago that easily demonstrates this, and on the other hand, the Bond franchise has done fairly well to avoid falling into the trap, and everything else in between.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Bump mapping for all!

byjkafer Mar 18, 2005
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros gorgeous graphics, varied gameplay, decent story, good voice work
Cons tries to be too many different kinds of games, kind of short
Recommended it? Yes

Introduction
When a major franchise movie comes out, there is usually the obligatory video game tie-in. And usually that video game tie-in is ignored since most of them are pretty bad. Look at Catwoman: A game that was actually worse than the movie. Van Helsing is another example of the same... Read full review »

A new high watermark for a Hollywood video game

bymrpenbrook Jun 29, 2004
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Innovative gameplay, great graphics and audio, well-written, better tech than Doom 3
Cons Not many to mention - short game with a few graphical glitches
Recommended it? Yes

I think I'm like a lot of gamers; when a game based on a Hollywood movie or movie license comes out, it's an automatic mark against it. Most movie-based games are rushed, uninspired and joyless, and come off as a cheap attempt to capitalize rather than expand the movie's scope and the viewer's... Read full review »

A Movie Game That Really Delivers

byRockguyKev Oct 25, 2005
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Graphics, Varied Gameplay, Voice-overs, Story
Cons Short, No Multiplayer
Recommended it? Yes

Gameplay 5/5: Chronicles of Riddick is a prequel to the 1999 sci-fi movie Pitch Black. Right of the back you think, "Great another crappy movie game." Finally you are wrong. Movie games have almost all been flops, dating back to E.T. for the Atari, but Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay... Read full review »

A Game Worth Its Bounty

byThe_HTML_Man Jul 3, 2004
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Superb graphics, stealth and action pulled off perfectly, smooth controls
Cons No multiplayer, maybe a bit short but not too bad
Recommended it? Yes

It's been a while since a movie title has been turned into such a high quality videogame. There have been a few gems here and there, but for the most part a movie made into a videogame normally means an average or below average game. Fortunately this is not the case with The Chronicles of Riddick:... Read full review »

Good player with good features at a good price

bymikejay Dec 2, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros CF/microdrive, AA batteries, shutoff timer, good sound, numerous playback options, price
Cons LCD display should be reversed, non-standard cable, heavy, supplied headphones very poor
Recommended it? Yes

I was attracted to the NEXBlack initially because it uses compact flash and microdrive cards and AA batteries. I have a 6GB microdrive that I rarely use in our DSLR and a bunch of NiMH AA batteries lying around. Seemed like the NEXBlack was right up my alley. When I received it I didn't expect a...

Dark Brutal Game

Pros Top-Notch Graphics<br> Great use of Light and Shadow<br> A.I.<br>...
Cons A few graphical anomalies<br> Excessive load-times<br> Harsh language...
Recommended it? Yes

Let's just get to the gist of what this game has; probably the best graphics to date I've seen on the XBOX, excellent use of light and shadow for stealth, very good enemy A.I., brutal language, sound, and imagery (exactly the type of stuff you'd expect in a vicious prison environment), and an...

The best mp3 player in my opinion

byee_2718281828 Oct 1, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Removable CF cards, .m3u playlist, no DRM, multiply folder support, great sound.
Cons weak FM reception, LCD too dark.
Recommended it? Yes

Finally over one year of waiting, i got the nexblack. In my opinion, i think nexblack is exactly what i've been looking for. I've owned NEX IIe before, so i know exactly what i am looking for in a mp3 player. I like the nexblack because it uses removable memory cards (CF), which I have plenty of. I... Read full review »
