Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Feb 5, 2005
Pros: graphics, sound, atmosphere, depth, stealth, melee combat.
Cons: switching to third person in a dark area.
Summary: If there's one thing that can make every videogame reviewer cringe in unison it's the news of a game release based on the next big summer blockbuster to hit the big screen. This was the reaction most people gave to the news that Universal were all set to ... read more

Pros: Graphics, Varied Gameplay, Voice-overs, Story
Cons: Short, No Multiplayer
Summary: Gameplay 5/5: Chronicles of Riddick is a prequel to the 1999 sci-fi movie Pitch Black. Right of the back you think, "Great another crappy movie game." Finally you are wrong. Movie games have almost all been flops, dating back to E.T. for the ... read more

Pros: gorgeous graphics, varied gameplay, decent story, good voice work
Cons: tries to be too many different kinds of games, kind of short
Summary: Introduction When a major franchise movie comes out, there is usually the obligatory video game tie-in. And usually that video game tie-in is ignored since most of them are pretty bad. Look at Catwoman: A game that was actually worse ... read more

Pros: flawless combination of stealth and action
Cons: some jaggy graphics here and there, it’s a bit short
Summary: That’s just one of the intimidating lines you’ll hear Vin Diesel say during The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Butcher Bay is a maximum security prison located on a mining planet. No inmate has ever successfully escaped ... read more

Pros: Superb graphics, stealth and action pulled off perfectly, smooth controls
Cons: No multiplayer, maybe a bit short but not too bad
Summary: It's been a while since a movie title has been turned into such a high quality videogame. There have been a few gems here and there, but for the most part a movie made into a videogame normally means an average or below average game. Fortunately this ... read more

Jun 29, 2004
Pros: Innovative gameplay, great graphics and audio, well-written, better tech than Doom 3
Cons: Not many to mention - short game with a few graphical glitches
Summary: I think I'm like a lot of gamers; when a game based on a Hollywood movie or movie license comes out, it's an automatic mark against it. Most movie-based games are rushed, uninspired and joyless, and come off as a cheap attempt to capitalize rather than ... read more

Jun 5, 2004
Pros: Beautiful graphics, great stealth/FPS hybrid, quite a bit of replay
Cons: Some will be annoyed at lack of any multiplayer and 10 hour game length
Summary: When it comes to movie licenses and video games, the pair tend to not mix well. There’s the ET fiasco some 20 years ago that easily demonstrates this, and on the other hand, the Bond franchise has done fairly well to avoid falling into the trap, and ... read more

Rated Show by the Epinions community Dec 2, 2006
Pros: CF/microdrive, AA batteries, shutoff timer, good sound, numerous playback options, price
Cons: LCD display should be reversed, non-standard cable, heavy, supplied headphones very poor
Summary: I was attracted to the NEXBlack initially because it uses compact flash and microdrive cards and AA batteries. I have a 6GB microdrive that I rarely use in our DSLR and a bunch of NiMH AA batteries lying around. Seemed like the NEXBlack was right up my

Pros: Removable CF cards, .m3u playlist, no DRM, multiply folder support, great sound.
Cons: weak FM reception, LCD too dark.
Summary: Finally over one year of waiting, i got the nexblack. In my opinion, i think nexblack is exactly what i've been looking for. I've owned NEX IIe before, so i know exactly what i am looking for in a mp3 player. I like the nexblack because it uses

Pros: Top-Notch Graphics
Great use of Light and Shadow
A.I.
Interesting NPC's
Cons: A few graphical anomalies
Excessive load-times
Harsh language (doesn't bother me, but does some people)
Summary: Let's just get to the gist of what this game has; probably the best graphics to date I've seen on the XBOX, excellent use of light and shadow for stealth, very good enemy A.I., brutal language, sound, and imagery (exactly the type of stuff you'd expect
