User Rating: 8 | The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena PC
This is the shooter iv wanted for a long time.Gritty and Dirty.I'll start off by describing the mechanics of gameplay.The camera moves with Riddicks every turn and gesture which gives it a great realistic feel.After u turn the camera,the camera moves after the turn to simulate the rest of Riddicks body turning.The run speed is just about right.Not too fast or slow.GRAPHICS.Great,Motion blur adds a nice effect to everything u do.Nice level design and details.Stealth KILLING:The stealth kills is some of the most fun ull have in Assault on Athena.Each weapon offers a different way to kill the enemy when snuck up behind him and those are different too.Hand COMBAT.Very well DONE!.Each direction u push ,left,right,up down,+ the attack button is a different combat move.It turns into a fun game of timing and combo hiting with an awesome finishing move at the end for weapons.GUNPLAY.Awesome!.Depth of field and great gun mechanics,firepower,grit dirt and blood.Experience it for urslelf is the only thing to say on this.VOICE ACTIN:Vin Diesel fits so well into this game for some reason.I recall the first group of cells u come across in the game.Each person i talked to had his/her own personlality and great voice acting with different things to talk to them each time.When they dont have dialogue,u can still speak and they will do a random little voice scene that fits his/her character.SUPERB voice acting and scrpting.I love this game.The only thing iv seen bad so far is,,,,IT DOESNT RUN IN SLI MODE,and there are problems with the Ambient Occlusion setting.,which sucks the BIG ONE.And there seems to b glitches during the cutscenes,like mouths no nsync with dialogue u hear,that only happened at first.THIS game gets a 9.1,but because of PC issues that everone will hate,it gets a 8.0 here.Love the STEALTH,LOVE THE GUNS,A.I.,GRAPHICS,VOICE ACTING,SCRIPTING,AWESOME.A must buy for GAME lovers.
