The Chronicles of Riddick

[Takizawa]

Cheers for that guys, I shall have another blast in a bit and see if I have any more luck with my scalpal and baton

One more question then... Am I able to get back up to the recreation area, because I had some unfinished missions up there? Like the PPP guys, where are they? The list of snitches etc etc...

[Stroker Ace]

Yeah, you'll be heading back up there once you've met Jagger. He'll give you the code for the lift.

Remember - the snitch list is in TWO parts.

[ianinthefuture]

Once you get used to the fact that you're actually a pretty efficient killer even without a weapon

That's one of the main reasons I really enjoy(ed) the game - as I said, the characterisation is amazing. They could have been cheeky and made Riddick a bit of a pussy, but they keep him exactly how he's supposed to be - always dangerous.

Love it.

Right... I've just got hold of this (yarrrr, and all that) I just have a few questions:

1. Is the resolution supposed to be so low, are the textures supposed to be so crap and is there supposed to be PS2-style jaggies everywhere?

2. I'm not very far through it (a few minutes), but I've just reached a part in a sewer. You go into a pitch black tunnel and there are two guards there. The thing is, I have a torch- but when you use the torch they can see it shining and shoot at you. I thought Riddick could see in the dark, and shit like that? What should I do at this part then?

[Yewone]

What should I do at this part then?

Give up?

seriously though...try shooting the barrels next to the guards! Oh yeah and the reason he cant see in the dark yet is because its set Pre-Pitch Black. Play some more and all will become clear. (no pun intended)

[PeteJ]

Shoot the guards, shoot them dead. Then continue.

Riddick cannot see in the dark at the beginning of the game.

[Paulando]

I did just get past it actually, but I thought there might be something I was missing- as I did seem to lose a lot of health. Jeez, if I knew that was the end of the level I would've just ran through there. I'm a bit of a careful gamer you see, if I lose a lot of health I have to restart the section... Many a time I've saved the game with about 3 hp, before a boss or something

I must say, the real-time cutscenes looks great!

Yes it is that jaggy. very dissapointing huh? It fluctuates from looking great to looking terrible. But its a cracking game

That's true, sometimes it looks great and other times it looks pretty shitty. I'm enjoying it a lot now, and although there are a lot of jaggies- the models and light effects look awesome. The real time cutscenes are fab- the voice acting impressed me no end, as did the movements of the people (it looks very natural, unlike a lot of other games where the characters seem to wave their arms about for no apparent reason ). It also has bags of atmosphere- running around the prison and you can hear people shouting at each other

[Takizawa]

Well i've just finsihed it and there was me thinking I was only half way through

Quality quality game.

Wierd, I had the opposite feeling playing through it.

Every time I thought I was near the end I'd end up starting a new part.
