I remember getting this game way back when my computer sucked. Everyone was raving about it...yet I couldn't play the damn thing. Well I was digging through my closet and happened to stumble upon it. After getting the game installed....soon as I click the launcher the game crashes :(

Ahhhh will I ever be able to play this gem?!!!!!

The game was good, but I got stuck in an area where I needed a weapon but didn't have any and thus could not get through it. Just gave up from there.

I still have my Directors Cut copy. Hmm...maybe I will give this another play through. Excellent graphics for being a few years old.

Not recently - but about a year ago when I found it on the bargain bin shelf. Very good game IMHO.

Played it a few months back, still a very good game.
I never completed it the first time I tried (a couple of years ago), but did this time through.

Yes, this thing is fantastic. Remarkable physics (you pull your weapon back instead of having it clip through wall when you approach a wall). Also, very cinematic towards the end esp.

This game was a wicked sleeper. The atmosphere is great. Just like the movie. Environment is nice. Also kind of cool is the Prison levels. Its nice being able to actually sneak around in this game. They did it right that you can use stealth through most of it.

Loved this game. Aren't they remaking it for the newer generation of consoles or something? I was looking forward to it but haven't heard anything in a while. I don't have the computer to game anymore so this is my only hope :(

I am currently replaying it under Vista64 without any issues. I have the directors cut if that helps.

The commentary is really good too.
That was the first time I listened to a game commentary while I played it.
It tells you how much work goes into making a game and some compromises they have to make like any other business.

I'm about like the OP, didn't quite have the system for it at the time, and for some time now I've kept my eye out for a bargain bin price, but it never turns up.

I figured that it would be a great ten buck jewel case selection for Walmart, like they have had for some time for Far Cry, but no :(

May be time for me to place a wtt games thread.

It's a great game. I've played it 2 times. Once with a 6800nu and then a 7800GS. The graphics are still really good. The atmosphere is awesome. Vin Diesel should never play any other character cus none have been as good as Riddick.

It isn't too hard to get past. Most of the time you just have to block your attacks. It took me about 3-4 tries though :( .

I played it when it first came out. Pretty fun with good graphics, but fairly linear. I never finished it.

I absolutely loved this game. And I know we're in the PC section, but the Xbox version always worked better and controlled better for me.
