FiringSquad Summary:

There are very few games I recommend outright to anyone without hesitation. So let me just qualify: if you have any interest in first-person shooters, go get Riddick. Now.

Description:
Become Riddick and break out of the galaxy's most deadly prison in this compelling first-person action experience – The Chronicles of Riddick™: Escape from Butcher Bay.

Set before the events of both Universal Pictures' upcoming summer release The Chronicles of Riddick, starring Vin Diesel, and the 2000 breakout hit Pitch Black, which first introduced Diesel as enigmatic antihero Riddick, the game tells the story of Riddick's dramatic escape from the previously inescapable triple-max security slam Butcher Bay, home to the most violent prisoners in the universe.

FEATURES:
An intense original storyline reveals secrets of Riddick's past and epic destiny

Groundbreaking "Normal mapping" graphics technology creates vivid, ultra-realistic harsh environments

Revolutionary game design fuses frenetic first-person shooter action, stealth, and brutal hand-to-hand combat

Fight up close and personal with fists or knives, or use stealth to defeat your enemies

Seamless transition .....

9/10:
Judged on its own merits it's a game that stands tall among any of its contemporaries and in many ways beats them at their own game. --[Eurogamer.net]
