With a lot of buzz and anticipation, the latest interation of the Chronicles of Riddick, Assault on Dark Athena has begun shipping today from Atari. You can find this game on your favorite platform, either Xbox, PC, or Playstation 3, and has a “mature” rating for blood and violence, and such.
Receiving good reviews from gamers so far, who rate the game in the 8.5-9.0 range out of 10, is a breathe of fresh air for the publisher considering the previous game didn’t fare as well. However, this game’s release may be slightly pinched as the economy is on crutches and Atari isn’t exactly what it used to be. Certainly low marketing efforts may keep this game from selling out, if it ever had any intention to do so (we don’t think so).
Critics, on the other hand, have been reviewing the game harshly, giving an average score of about 8.2. We think reviewers may be comparing the game to the previous Riddick game in terms of gameplay, and while similar, Dark Athena has much more features. Multiplayer is the biggest new feature introduced, along with an overhauled graphics engine that looks superb in comparison.
Purchase this game at your own leisure, we can’t be too sure how the storyline and multiplayer will play out for average gamers. If you are a fan of the series, definitely purchase this title. Otherwise, casual gamers should be directed to the demo currently available before they make a commitment to purchase the game.
Take a look at the official web site at RiddickGame.com. Oh, and check out the latest trailer:
