Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
Dark Athena isn't exactly what you would call game of the year. Some say that you should stick to Butcher Bay other than Dark Athena because it's awful. It's more run and shoot than stealth, the AI is lacking, the story is bad, the multiplayer isn't good, and even I can come up with better game characters. These newbies in the Riddickverse are lame. What else is unbelievable is that you'll literally run around in circles. After a cut scene is over, norally the game would have your charcter aiming in the direction he looked in the cut scene but isn't. You think you're going in the right way but a few minutes later you'll realize you've been going in the wrong direction. With this annoying thing happening, gamers will want to think about taking the bread crumb trail out of Fable II and into Dark Athena. Because of this game being more of a run and shoot than stealth (which the people who made this game promised), it's annoying because Riddick doesn't have any armor on him, just a tank top so the the health bar will go down really fast. Dark Athena is pretty much a game for those who hadn't played Butcher Bay and if you played Butcher Bay, stick to that game. There are positive things with this game. Graphics are good and shiny, there are some good (not many) moments when you do stealth, and driving around in a walker or two is fun.
