The company responsible for the game, Starbeeze Studios, has ambitious plans to overturn the rule that games are inferior in quality to movies. "The Chronicles of Riddick" is certainly not inferior - not even a bit. In fact, this first-person shooter game is a closer and more striking combination of Hollywood movies and games. With its exquisite graphics and meticulous production, "The Chronicles of Riddick" ranks as one of the best proprietary games.
Replicating Vin Diesel
"The Chronicles of Riddick" was developed by Starbeeze Studios in Sweden. The animated version of Vin Diesel looks exactly like the real one, portraying Riddick, the bald villain imprisoned on the high-security desert planet Butcher Bay. This simple background is the main element that makes the story structure tight and exciting, and deserves credit for its serious production. At the start of the game, you'll immediately notice that the protagonist is practically a clone of the real-life Vin Diesel, with identical physical characteristics and a flat voice tone. Combined with top-notch motion capture animation technology and a rare good script for an action game, it's no surprise that Electronic Arts' "Lord of the Rings" is overshadowed, and "The Chronicles of Riddick" still has the guts to be released, carving out a share in the movie-game category. As you follow the people of Butcher Bay, you can't help but feel like you are Vin Diesel.
