Let us for a moment until 2004, when the Xbox came out the game The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. With the introduction of unique solutions, the title of the site has been hailed as a hit, and the authors have proved that you can make a good game to movie licenses. Unfortunately for many players it was a product exclusive to Microsoft's console, and never appeared on Sony equipment. Even to this day, when Starbreeze Studios decided to make a remake of the classic console title to all the new on Dark Athena, because such a title carries the entire set, is more than just a simple conversion. In addition to the necessary cosmetic changes, consisting of fine tuning to the current standards, the game also offers an extensive multiplayer mode (an element which missed most of the original), and a completely new campaign. Refreshed Escape from Butcher Bay is clearly an added bonus to those who for some reason eluded pleasure of communing with the same title. Well, however, that the manufacturer decided to put it on the album, because without it, the whole package would not be as attractive. New campaign really grows up to its predecessor, and except for one outstanding multiplayer mode called "Pitch Black", an online skirmish rather fall. If, however, belongs to the group of Sony console owners who do not have the opportunity to try "the magic", is a product that is undeniably a great opportunity to catch up to the plate the Escape from Butcher Bay outside the refined visual side, remained largely untouched . For in the topic, the original campaign is a prequel to the events presented in the film The Chronicles of Riddick, which shows the fate of the hero (or criminal, if you like) embedded in the Butcher Bay prison, the harshest of stringency. Whether or not he could get out depends only on whether we will be able to make good use of the special abilities of the main character. In relation to the new campaign, Escape From Butcher Bay puts more strategies than mindless eruption of enemies and stock movement from point A to point B. To be able to think of a safe flight to avoid clashes with the enemy, and if it is already such so, to use weapons without making too much noise. During the trip, we come across a variety of player characters (mainly prisoners), who will help us gain access to certain sites, and new items. I will not hide that, thanks to great elements completed, a large freedom and engrossing story, the first part is extending its lead over new that paranoia would be if he remake of classic action games will cost close to 200 $ (regardless of quality) the package and find another campaign called, Assault on Dark Athena. The new campaign is a direct continuation of events in the Escape from Butcher Bay, and its main aim is also to escape, but this time from the ship in which a suspected human experiments. Lovers of the series certainly pleased by the fact that Assault on Dark Athena, as a supplement to the original, he discovers more interesting elements of the scenario, and the new game. Unfortunately, was not without noticeable gaps, particularly in comparison to the classics. After a few moments you can not resist feeling that the campaign is linear and somewhat limited in relation to the first part. During the interaction with other characters on the ship can easily get the impression that the item had been removed in the background. In addition, individual elements of the story have not been adequately developed, and some dialogues are so bad that at times better off two single-player campaign, on the CD for the first time was a multiplayer option. Network takes place offers several different modes, of which the most interesting seems to be Pitch Black. In this mode, one player takes the role of Riddick, and others assume the role of guards, whose job is to remove the dangerous prisoner. While the person in charge Riddick can freely use the skills of vision in the dark, the rest must rely on flashlights. Undoubted drawback Riddick targeting is the fact that the fight against an opponent he can not use any weapons apart from specially tailored to the melee. The rules are simple, the player who manages to kill Riddick, the next round takes over his new appears Butcher Bay Riot mode, in which 12 players are divided into three teams - Prisoners, Guardians and mercenaries. The task of each group is to gain the battery and transported it to the enemy base. Despite the fact that Pitch Black and Butcher Bay Rior make a lot of fun, the rest does not sin, rather a special originality. In addition to those already operating modes, we find the Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag, which do not depart from the standard canon. Visually, Assault on Dark Athena looks very decent, but without special fireworks. The original of the 2004 fully exploited the advantages of the first Xbox, presenting an amazing graphic layout, for those days. Unfortunately, although the game is not to bad and was pretty well adapted to high definition, it is by these 5 years from the date of the first part, has lost a bit of charm and can never compete with titles like "Gears of War or Killzone 2 In addition, the PS3 version can be found a few bugs, which are the main shortcoming of Cutting and disappearing figures. Riddick at ease in any situation .Sound effects for the most part have been perfectly executed. Deadly serious tone of voice Vin Diesel sounds better than ever, impressively underlining the sinister nature. Overall, a solid sound effects and the music contained in the game very well affect the mood of the game. In conclusion, Assault on Dark Athena, a good package worth the money. Putting on the disc two single-player campaign, as well as a fairly extensive multiplayer mode should be encouraged to buy not just fans of the series. Although the game is not perfect and not kept a few bugs, including graphics, it fortunately does not affect them very negatively on the game play. If you include one of those people who happened to miss Escape from Butcher Bay, you should not commit this mistake a second time, especially since it is now available in a refreshed version, with the addition of entirely new campaign and multiplayer.
