I wish I could say how great this game is, but...
it won't even install :( After looking at the developer's web site, it seems this game is a POS that is more problems than its worth.

Remarkably free of convention
It is rare that one experiences a series of incredible titles over the space of the past six months. While the much-touted Doom 3 ultimately failed to deliver in the gameplay stakes, other big-name offerings such as Half-Life 2 proceeded to add a new... more


PC Gamer gave this 93%!?!?!!?!
Man, was I duoed into buying this. PC Gamer made it editor's choice, and gave it a rating that put in on par with Half Life and Doom. But it not ever close. The game looks good, but the gameplay is somewhat lame. and its very difficult to get through... more


Thoroughly nasty piece of work
I love adventure and shooter type games but the gratuitous realistic violence and language in this software was truly unpleasant. I regretted buying it from the first time I played it and soon threw it in the trash.

more


HYPE ALERT
This game seems to be getting the full treatment from the shadow marketing crew. Be careful about what reviews you put any trust in.
The game is ok as a console port. It is not much of a game from PC standards. Good graphics do not make a game.... more


Story based "Adult" First Person Shooter
**Not for children**

Butcher Bay happens to fit the niche nicely. After Half-Life 2 there was only really the Call of Duty: United Offensive as a good first person shooter (Doom 3 being an older game now and Far Cry also... you should play... more


Good things come from Sweden
Butcher Bay is a first rate adventure/shooter. The game world's detail shows a fully realized world. The game play keeps itself pretty simple like the interface, but draws you into the excitement without interrupting the suspension of disbelief. more


Riddick Rocks
While the movies that this game branches from are mediocre if good at best, the game comes out of nowhere with dazzling graphics and gameplay. There was little if any hype leading up to this title yet now it satnds alone as possibly the best first person... more


Surprise, surprise! A movie tie-in that's actually good!
I remember seeing The Chronicles of Riddick last summer in the movie theatres. I thought it was a pretty good movie...not great, but decent for what it is. Around the same time I heard that a game was being developed for the X-Box that would be... more


Wow!! This game is a gem!!
I just happened to be looking through Amazon.com, and I came across Escape From Butcher Bay. Thank God I did. This game is a real gem...one of the best action titles I've played all year. It holds its own with Far Cry, HL2 and Doom 3 or anything else... more


Great game but one problem
This game is amazing. Heres the score i give for this game.

Gameplay - 9/10: Realy fun and not boring.
Graphics - 10/10: Amazing graphics, even better then Doom 3.
Sound - 10/10: Great sound affects.
Value - 8/10: I think... more


This is what a video game should be
I always thought Vin Deisel was a cheesehead and that games made from movies were mostly crappy and thrown together in 10 days. But THIS GAME IS TOP NOTCH!

I'd say this hands down beats DOOM 3, which is too dark most of the time to enjoy... more


Very fun, but extremely violent
An extremely fun game, I played it through in one sitting. The system requirements are steep, but if your system can handle it the graphics are outstanding, as well as the art work. The story is also interesting (though a little frustrating at times). more


Check your specs before buying this
Please ignore the rating, this is more of a warning:

I just have to say that you really need to make sure you have the requirements to play this game...because if you don't you're going to end up like me, unable to install it.

great great game
Man o Man .. I could write this whole page worth of stuff but it still wouldnt be enough to explain how awesome this game is.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend this game. If i had to rate this game 1-10 i would... more


Could...Not...Stop...Playing! A Masterful FPS!
The Chronicles of Riddick- Escape From Butcher Bay(2004). Released on the XBox and PC(Since I couldn't find the XBOX one I'm doing the PC review).

In the past few years, the movie 'Pitch Black' has been hailed as a masterpiece from Sci-Fi... more
