I say it is good in all it's elements. It is hard to describe it because it is very different from most fps we have these days. If you have it sitting there just play it for a few minutes and do the first prison part. It is very fun.

Well im pretty sure there is a demo for the Xbox and PS3, you could try that. It should be mostly the same on the PC and consoles.

It's one of the best FPS's of last generation and it holds up extremely well, especially the re-release in Dark Athena. The Dark Athena campaign itself is much worse, but worth a playthrough.

I think it's okay. IMO, it's one of those games that people thought "gee, it's based on a movie that wasn't all that good to begin with, so the game is gonna be horrible", but then it ended up being halfway decent and then all of a sudden everyone starts screaming about how it's a mind-blowing experience. It's not. It's a slightly above-average shooter with a bit more emphasis on stealth and melee than other shooters at the time. The fact that you basically escape from the prison freakin' ten times in a row got too repetitive for me.

One of the best FPS games I've played (I own it on Steam as well, but I don't have the time right now to download a game that huge...I'm basing this off what I played on the Xbox a long time ago :P).

I really liked it. It's not an RPG, but it has more than just point different kinds of gun and shoot game play. The story is interesting and enjoyable, imo. Give it a try. How much could it cost at this point?

I like it. Good stuff.

Nice atmosphere, voice acting, gameplay, etc. It's been many years since I played it though, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Its shiny, but its a solid game with stealth/action. I liked it alot, it has aged but still worth playing. Dark Athena on the other hand is just a ripoff of EfBB, and just does nothing as good.

Kind of late to be asking that question, I haven't played it in so long but it was awesome like 7 years ago when it came out, it was pretty cool back in the day, haven't played the remake with Dark Athena yet, wouldn't mind picking that up myself, has to easily be $20 or even much cheaper by now.

An excellent first-person game with excellent melee combat system, stealth, RPG elements, graphics, mech sequences and voiceacting. Although I found the shooting a bit bland though.

I own assault on dark athena for PS3 which also came with Escape from butcher bay. They were both really good. I wasn't expecting much out of them but I got my moneys worth. Very excellent 2 FPS's in my opinion. Good stories. As for the multiplayer I never played it on either so I couldn't tell you how that aspect of the game is but the Single player is awesome. I heard the multiplayer was really fun though. I don't know if anyone plays anymore though because the game has been out for a long time now.

good story, feels like a movie.
great voice acting
amazing melee combat system, with brutal reversal kills that will make you go "WOW"
great stealth system
miminalist HUD - total immersion
get to see how riddick got his eye shine. FTW. and eye shine FTW period.

personally I loved pitch black, the chronicles of riddickand the riddick character in general, so playing a part of his back story was very satisfying...not to mention a great unique game that was easily my favorite single player game of the generation and nothing this gen has topped it either.

It's an excellent game. Plays tremendously well as a shooter, stealth, chatty game and first person beat em up. Has amazing player agency, you do really feel like the character Riddick. Play it.
