Ok, I know some of you are like "O_o but satsu doesnt like vin diesel or the thought of going to see his new movie.." , so lemme explain.. <cough> dis game is da bomb diggy bomb!
Anywho, the presentation is very half life, but in the sci-fi world of riddick. The thing that makes this game shine so much, is how it combines stealth/espionage with fighting, first person shooting and platforming along with some RPG elements.. and it WORKS.. the cutscenes are self narrated (by vin himself) which gives you that feeling of himself documenting his life (which is a good thing). Every aspect of the game is extremely well done, not to mention they are ALL used. the sound, the environments (which are comprised of very high quality textures , lighting and shading effects) come together to bring you a very lived-in movie experience. Very gritty, very frantic and very good. Theres quite a handful of curse words tossed around (as namely most of the movies vin is in) as you engage enemies or other prisoners, so know that if it affects your decision to play. Riddick's "Eyeshine" is another dimension of gameplay that compliments your stealth abilities, and is beautifully represented in terms of graphical techniques.
The 'only' bad thing about this game is that there isnt any multiplayer modes
Replay value consists of collecting packs of cigarettes to unlock movies and concept art (which isnt all that bad... but i want multiplayer! >_<
summary : Superb experience and definately reccommended
9/10 <-- minus one point for not including multiplayer, ya bums! /slap
