it's extremly short but at one point I thought the game was over but it kept going...nice hand to hand combat with teahatload of countermoves. Good game, with MP it might have been great. Only down is that the chars looks like clay...

It's nice so far, havent played it much. But my video card sucks so whenever i get to the shooting scenes it lags like teahat. (btw hand to hand is nice!)

does anyone else think it could have been KingPin 2? I mean the hand to hand combat part with all the weapons gave me backflashes with a mix. Shaken, not stired on the floor.

I think the graphics were great for the most part. They DID have their flaws. (hint: the cut scenes)

i played the XBoX version, that kicked ass, might have to try the PC one

Very nice game. Graphics surpassed Doom 3 IMO. Had to drop shader to 2.0 from 2.0++ to run at 1280x1024 but still looks great. Well worth the $30.

Playin thru it for the 2nd time now =]

I completely disagree with the reviewer's comment on Vin Diesel's voice acting because that is how the character Riddick actually talks especially in the previous movies Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. Riddick is supposed to be a dry and cold man so I don't think you'll someone like that crying or over cheering like that.
