"worst game ever, why first if you want graphics buy a newer game it will even give you better performance, second it has many issues and doesnt even RUN in newer pc, the story is crap, also it totally wrecks the way riddick get those eyes, the gameplay is about being in a prison escape get captured egain get to another prison escape get captured again and all over the same,, every time gets harder in the beginning you talk to outher prisoners and buy the cigarettes to unlock extras i dont see what amazing the reviewer saw in that , in the begining the game is simple after that you start figting an do stuff to get money, it wont be long before you realize that all the levels SUCK i mean these are the worst levels i ever seen in a game! the game requires that you dont atttack to aouther prisoners because machineguns turrets will kill you, also all gurads gut guns if you attack they will move backwards and keep shooting while you gonna keep attacking bu every time you attack you character will pull HANBRAKE and you wont be able to move so the guard will continue to move backwards and keep moving till he reach a wall an CLIMB UP THE ENTIRE DAMN WALL CRAP AI GARBAGE, many times ai reacts stupidly i dont understand why they talk about remarkable ai especially in fistfights its totaly idiotic , either act like bots or you get the feeling that everything is automated and you dont play at all just push the right buttons eg an enemy attack attack attacks and the damn screen goes up down all the time and you die instantly, just attack at the WRONG TIME and because the weapon is slow the enemy will take hit, CRAP more crap all the guns are dna encoded so you get hard time to get weapons most levels are sneak sneak which is impossible at most times there guards are everywhere and start shooting they see you everywhere and and your only option is to run ALL LEVELS ARE LIKE QUAKE 4 HOW THE HELL TO SNEAK IN THOSE CORRIDORS !

I AM SURE RIGHT NOW YOULL MAKE THE SMAE MISTAKE I DID BUT NO THE GAME IS NOT LIKE SPLINTER CELL OR SOMETHING ITS JUST LIKE PLAYING FEAR AND REQUIRE TO SNEAK AND KILL THEM WITH NO GUNS - IMPOSSIBLE!

The levels suck hard WORSE STEALTH GAME EVER!


The few times you got shooting you actually got guns gamespot is saying stuff like you can either shoot your way out or sneak and save ammo,

EXCUSE ME BUT IN THIS CRAPPY GAME YOU EITHER GOT NO GUNS OR ALL GUNS WITH 68 EXTRA CLIPS WHY TO SAVE AMMO YOU GOT TO SPENT IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER GET GUNS AGAIN AND BECAUSE ITS SHORT YOU WANNA GET SOME SHOOTING!

HOWEVER the shooting is crap too you aim with a laser sight but if you get to close witrh a shotgun eg you gonna keep missing also enemies take hundreds of shots, you empty entire clips one them and every time you get shotted you gte pushed back overall 3 shots wit the shotgun are needed to kill someone also i dont know what they talking about good pc import but its impossible to aim with that loose aiming was the xbox version like that too?

ALSO THERE ARE MECH ENEMIES THAT YOU CANT DEFEAT AND YOU GOT TO SNEAK PAST THEM BUT NO IT DOESNT WORK!

Many times you get crappy sutitations and the game wants me to accept them, eg climb up a wall and there is a room with a mech ,now what does that mech do there anyway? that guard inside the mech stays there forever?
and the game requires that i climb up a wall in a first person find some grabbing points and get to the outher side and then again, or the crappy ai of those bots trying to shoot up while they cant many times you get the ide that you dont actually sneak, or should i speak that everytime you get close to a specific door one guards pop out everytime dearthboring and crappy game! outher times it requires that you figuire out your self that you need to jump and stick to the edge of the point you jump and move with your back to the wall and keep moving like prince of persia in fps!!!!! Do i have to be physchic to guess that!



THE GAME DOESNT RUN

WORST LEVELS EVER

WORST SNEAKING

WORST SHOOTING

WORST CLIMBING SEQUENCES

WORST STORY

WORST STABILITY


TO EXPLAIN YOU THIS ITS A SHORT GARBAGE GAME WITH A SEQUENCE TUTORIAL QUESTS FIGHTING SHOOTING CLIMBING SNEAKING IN A SEQUENCE NOT IN VARIETY AND IN VERY CRAPPY ALL THESE ARE VERY CRAPPY AND STUPIDLY PLACED IN THE GAME, DEATH BORING CRAPPY SHORT GAME TOTALLY LINEAR TTHAT YOU WONT PLAY AGAIN AWFUL BUT DOESNT WORK ON NEW PCS AND HAS BAD PERFORMANCE

if you look for good shooting...LOOK ELSEWHERE

if you look for good stealth or climbing sequences...LOOK ELSEWHERE

if you look for good levels and story...LOOK ELSEWHERE

if you look for...PAIN, THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU , IT MADE ME DESTROY MY PC TFT SCREEN!


This is for me the most stupid game ever the most frustrating and DUMB game i ever seen thats why its not popular and there is not a sequel, seriously no quality the biggest crap in the crappiest way!"
