Xbox 360 Review: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - Page 3

In some dark areas of the ship, even in stealth mode, it’s too dark for you to see anything. This is what made Riddick famous. You can activate Riddick’s “eyeshine” which allows you to see in the dark, by press down on the D-Pad. If you’d rather go with the “normal” approach, you can always use a flashlight, but where is the fun in that? To activate a flashlight, you first need to have a gun, other than the tranquilizer, and press Up on the D-Pad.

This game represents the series first time feature has online multiplayer. It was rather terrible in the category of online play. It reminded me of some other games, like Perfect Dark, Quake, and Unreal Tournament. They were all face paced games, but it didn’t give the full-on effect of the online play like today’s games. This game has a decent multiplayer mode, but it is definitely up there in the single player department.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Content, Strong Language. This game can also be found on PS3 and PC.
