One of the best stealth action games I played! Unique atmosphere of space prison still haunts me! Beside to pass this game was god damn tough!

I was very surprised by this one with vin diesel on the cover i cant say i expected quality but it is a cult classic so I gave it a chance and it is good the mechanics are very wonky the combat is weird and the stealth doesn't work half the time you walk at a snails pace but even with all that the atmosphere and immersion are so good even though this is not an amazing story there is such a good drive behind it with wanting to escape this awful prison most everything in the game exists in a diegetic way which I think then it's weird that u have such an awkward weapon wheel and that the game likes to cut very randomly to 3rd person animations i get they wanna show ur playing as diesel man in this first-person game but bad decision imo overall though its game that shouldn't work but it does heavily pushed by the atmosphere and a fairly interesting progression there basically a few main areas that branch out and open up its back tracking done well.

A game so good it got me to watch the movie that followed it, that mostly got greenlit because this game was so good. I bet it's not aging great, and I'm hesitant to test that theory because my time with it still wields a lot of power in my mind.

This game is better than it has any right to be.

This holds up better than most original Xbox games. The story unfolds like a proper Riddick movie and the titular prison is as imposing as it needs to be.

I would probably appreciate this more if the combat wasn’t so awkward and/or the stealth gameplay was more fun.

Provavelmente uma das melhores adaptações de filmes para game, perde pontos pois faz uns 4 anos que zerei e o jogo não marcou em quase nada, apenas que era divertido de jogar e super bem feito, de todo modo recomendo.
