If you're thinking of getting this game for your XBOX I'd strongly recommend it.  It is not, as some have suggested, as good as HALO, but it is definitely of excellent quality and a great deal of fun…

I'd say it is a lot more like Splinter Cell than HALO, another XBOX game I'd happily recommend.  You play Riddick, the enigmatic character featured in Pitch Black and the new movie The Chronicles of Riddick.

You are the prisoner of Johns, the blue eyed devil, voiced by Cole Hauser who played the same character in Pitch Black.  Johns takes you to the maximum security slam, Butcher Bay to collect the bounty on you.  Once there you must devise a way to escape.

The action is pretty good, the controls are fine, and the animation is great.  Vin Diesel is as cool as ever.  The game is definitely not for a younger audience though… the language is attrocious and you spend a lot of time breaking people's necks from behind or sticking them in the back with shivs.

If you liked Splinter Cell, and you don't mind foul language and fighting dirty, you'll probably enjoy Riddick as well.  Check it out…
