Assault on Dark Athena was a project that started with cleaning up the visuals of Escape from Butchers Bay, and the graphical upgrades that were done in that project do show up here. The character models are very detailed and expressive. In each person that we see, you can get a feel of true emotion just from the looks and expressions that come out with the detail of the graphics in Dark Athena. Combine that with some excellent voice over work by the main cast of characters and you have a great combination. Each actor put in serious work, with all the lines sounding like there is emotion behind each word. The environments that you traverse through with Riddick are varied and have a lot of appeal. At first, I thought, If I am in a spaceship, I am going to see the same textures and corridors, but there was a surprising amount of depth to each section of the ship.

Assault on Dark Athena also includes a remastered version of Escape from Butchers Bay, and even after five years, the gameplay still stands up over time. A lot of the graphical issues that came about from that games bleeding edge use of technology on the PC side of the fence have been mended over time, as it runs smooth as silk, and shadows no longer have geometry errors. The biggest problem with Escape from Butchers Bay is that it outshines the Dark Athena in story, character depth and gameplay. It just feels like the better game in this package. It also helps add a tremendous amount of value to the package, because you end up getting two different gaming experiences totaling up to about 20 hours of gameplay for $60. In this day and age of our economic times, that is a factor that gamers should look at when purchasing this game.

One thing to note is that the game is not easy. There are several points in the game where you will have to plan your strategy, or you will become overwhelmed and killed. These were the best sections of Dark Athena, as they get to the heart of what a Riddick game is all about: silent movement and ruthless efficiency, while staying out of the lights of the enemy. These points are where the game is at its best, and it is unfortunate that those points are far and few between.

Some will remember concerns I had with the 360 version of the Dark Athena demo, including floating guns that continued to shoot after the owners were dead and display glitches that happened while switching from controlling drones to Riddick. Those issues have been fixed, but some serious clipping issues still remain towards the end of the game. At one point, I was hiding in a tunnel and watched rockets float through the tunnel wall killing me where I figured I was sheltered. It is one thing for a tunnel to collapse due to a rocket strike, but totally different when a rocket flies through a wall and into my character. Also, the AI seems to have issues, where you can just move from one side of a container to another shooting the bigger baddies in the back. A patch will hopefully address these issues after release, but it is a shame to see these issues after several years of work.

There is multiplayer in Dark Athena, and so far in some early matches, I have had a lot of fun. I thought that multiplayer would bring the game down a bit, but it is a fresh change of pace. There is a good selection of maps, and the gameplay is fast and fun, similar to Unreal Tournament 3 in that fun factor. I did not get a huge amount of time into the multiplayer component, just due to their only being a few people out there to play at this time. The release of the game should expand the pool of gamers looking to get their multiplay on.

While the game is not Games for Windows Live enabled or Steam Achievement enabled, it does have a list of accomplishments that can be had by gamers. The accomplishments seem to mimic the achievements and trophies that are in the console versions of the game, and you get a nice little notice of hitting the accomplishment. It is nice to see this kind of addition in a game, because it adds replay value to Dark Athena, and will have you coming back for the more difficult items (sneak through the cargo bay unnoticed).
