if this is as good as the first riddick, we should be in for a treat!

the first one looked wonderful on Xbox.
I'll bet this one is just a ported engine though. Proly look like halo3 ahhaah

Already doesnt feel quite as good as the original and it seems very easy to die, maybe that was just me but riddick dont take much of a beating. I like the way you can take over the drones though.

I'm curious to see how much new content is in it. I liked the first one enough that I will probably get it either way.

I agree controlling the drones was pretty cool and dieing is very frequent.

I remember there was no definitive answer on multiplayer. Does anyone know if multiplayer/deathmatch will be included? Not sure how much fun that would be but it would make for an added reason to buy it.

Movie to game = sh*t.

Movie to game = sh*t.

well thats a dumb thing to say because the first riddick game was great, and Goldeneye was too.I will agree that most are bad though.

The first Riddick game was fantastic and its being included as a hi-res remake... PLUS a whole new HD sequel of sorts AND multiplayer?! Cmon now... not much to complain about here.
