Video Game Reviews of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark AthenaCustomer Review: Fun to a point - pathetic game limitations Summary: 3 StarsPositives:
1. I like the story line.
2. I'm a Riddick fan so the opportunity to play him is cool.
Negatives:
1. The AI Players are just plain stupid. They'll see you, shoot at you, and if find a hiding spot in the dark, eventually they continue whatever they were doing before. You can kill every other guard in the room and the last one will never call in for backup. Plus they'll simply turn their back on the location you were hiding so you can kill them.
2. Riddick moves at one speed - slow and slower. It is pathetic that you cannot run in this game. I believe in the movies he had the ability to run, but not in the game.
3. You would think you might be able to throw things - create a distraction or something, but nope. Guess Riddick doesn't know how to throw stuff.
