At one point while playing The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena I seriously contemplated snapping the disc in half just so that I would be forced to stop playing. It isn’t because it is that good and I needed to get productive or anything like that. Oh no.

By that time I was fully in hate with the game. But I was not going to let it defeat me. I was committed.

I really, really liked the game up to when you land on the planet. After that, it seems like the designers engaged in an experiment: how long can we artificially prolong this game with pointless min-boss sections and tedium?

However, the disc is worth picking up because it also has Escape from Butcher Bay on it as well, redone with the newer engine and replete with its own gamer skittles. That game is absolutely worth your time.
