I still have Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher bay on my Xbox (bought it twice :)) and my xbox is still hooked up and even through my 1080p hd TV it still looks pretty awesome (though of course note as good as it looked originall or dark athena will look). So is the Dark Athena content and multiplayer worth £40/£50? From what ive seen Dark Athena seems to be more of the same but with a heavier emphasis on shooting, and my one problem with Butcher Bay is that when im forced to shoot I begin to like the game a lot less. And the multiplayer looks one part generic (and I hate the shooting), so why would I play it over say TF2, COD4 etc. and the "unuiqe" part of it looks like its going to die in a few weeks.

So for those of you that have played Dark Athena is it worth the asking price for someone who has played Escape from Butcher Bay so many times? Is the original part of the game changed enough or has any added content to make it worth playing through again?

If its not worth the full asking price ill probably stick to my xbox copy and then "upgrade" when its cheaper.

For two games? I'd say so

"For two games? I'd say so"

Dark Athena really doesn't have to be any more shooty than Butcher Bay (so far, but I haven't finished it yet).

I think the Butcher Bay remake looks really nice too, played through again.

If you only have the Xbox 1 version, and not even the first PC version, there's extra content in the Butcher Bay part of Dark Athena that you probably haven't seen before.

In my opinion, definitely. Honestly I enjoyed Dark Athena just as much as Escape From Butcher Bay. They don't force you to use guns up until you get the SCAR gun towards the end, and even then I only used it to destroy spider turrets and lights.
