    yeah man im so surprised that we haven't seen a sequal yet. this game was critically praised and he we are with no remake or sequel yet. 

    normally when a game does pretty well in sales, but very well with critic it imediately gets a sequel. i loved this game it was amazing
    and it was my favorite xbox game too. outstanding. the graphics look better than many games today LOL, and the story was awesome, the style it told the story was great, the gameplay was fantastic and very well intertwined with the story


    and for real, somebody NEEDS to complete this page. its really bare bones. this game was fairly deep and deserves proper discription

    Yeah I was completely astounded by how good this game was.  It just needed some kind of multiplayer and I think more people would have flocked to it, much like Goldeneye.

    I absolutely love this game and I think the best way to play it is on the PC. I wonder if the 360 "remake" is still being made. I know they announced the cancellation of the PS3 version, but they never mentioned the 360 version.

    It is a fantastic game.  Best licensed game, ever, by a long margin.  Much better than the movie!

    The thing about the game that actually sucks is this poorly written article :-/

    I didn't like sneaking around everywhere...but then again, I never do.  Tenchu was enjoyable to me.....but then again, that had ninjas.

    THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKED NUTS!!!

    ...........j/k

    Seriously, this game is THE best movie-based game ever made.  How do I know?  Well, when I wrote the "Top 10 Movie-Based Games" article for movies.com years ago...it was #1.  Therefore, it's official.  = D

    I haven't heard news of the remake "dark athena' since beginning of 08...god thats been in development for I don't know how long, I hope they are still gonna be made sometime...seems it won't get done now if it does until mid 09 or something though. And yes I absolutely loved this game, it was also one of my favorite Xbox games there were, I never played it on PC though..I may get it sometime since I like PC controls better anyway and I honestly didn't realize it was ever out on PC.

    I agree.  I loved this game!  I played through the entire story twice in one day.  I heard a rumor that they canceled Dark Athena, but I really hope they didn't.  I would be really disappointed.

    I don't know if it's canceled, but it doesn't look good for it.  I guess it depends on whether it finds a new publisher or not.

    I recently hooked up my Xbox again, so I'm playing through the game for nostalgia.

    Never actually played it, but watched my older brother play. I'd love to be able to play a new game.
