Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

I picked this up yesterday, and I'm having a great time with it. I was honestly surprised that there wasn't a thread yet.

The original Chronicles of Riddick game (Escape from Butcher Bay) is still great, and the new campaign (the titular Assault on Dark Athena) is pretty good too. Two full length stealth FPS games on one disc: not a bad deal.

Is anyone else playing this? If not, it's strongly recommended.

Does this also have a lot of NPC interaction and puzzle type stuff in it? I loved the original.

A little bit so far. Not nearly as much as the original.

The only real disappointment with the new bit is how much of a traditional shooter it is. Not nearly as much sneaky stuff.

Yeah, I'm not enjoying Dark Athena too much because of that. I never liked the gun combat in Butcher Bay (weapons felt too weak and inaccurate) and having it be such a big part of the new campaign sucks.

Butcher Bay still holds up really well though, it's worth getting for that alone.
