Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt least on the PC version there are 4 apartments with the names "Keenan", "Chancellor", "Jones" and "Carey" on the doors. These are the surnames of the members of the band Tool.
- GoofsA tactic used for stealth is to hide a body. However, the Player is not required to hide whatever weapon the person he neutralized was carrying, which would not make a lot of sense, stealthwise, as other characters would wonder why a weapon is lying upon the floor.
- Quotes
Guard: I don't deserve to die!
Guard: ...Ok, maybe I do! But I don't wanna die!
- ConnectionsEdited into The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (2009)
Featured review
Unusually Good Movie Tie-in Game
Games based on movies have a history of being poorly designed and made within a short space of time to cash in on the buzz surrounding a popular current movie release. Escape from Butcher Bay isn't based on a specific movie but the Chronicles of Riddick franchise instead and fills in a gap in the storyline that a novel would ordinarily fill.
With Escape from Butcher Bay things look good from the beginning, as we have Vin Diesel doing all of Riddick's dialogue and a surprisingly realistic computerised representation of the character, Vin Diesel put in the time being scanned, motion captured etc. which is rare for any game featuring the actual actor out of a film or TV series. Another credit to Diesel is that he created his own game company, Tigon (a Tigon is a Tiger-Lion hybrid) which I assume made this game happen in the first place. Diesel's voice acting is of a high standard and the storyline is well thought out and keeps up interest the whole way. As far as first-person-shooters go Escape from Butcher Bay is among the best I've played and anyone who owns or has access to an Xbox should give it a go.
