Im aware this may already have been discussed but I would like to know what owners of it think. Is it to short and easy? If so I want to know. How about other stuff, any glitches or framerate drop? Tell me about it please.

In the second game I expect to see lots more of the same, and certainly a pandora tomorrow style multiplayer option.

Again, it only looks ok as it looks how all Xbox games should look.

I was expecting more after everyone had hyped it up.

But seeing as I wasn't really interested in it til I picked it up and decided to give it a try, I can't really say I was caught in the hype.

I don't think it's a short game really. There's even two ways to complete a level (those who own the game will understand that). The graphics are beautiful. Edgy said "the game looks ok". Trust what everyone says, the game is beautiful! A nice mix of stealth, FPS and (I dunno what to call this) "favour missions". If you find the game easy, just increase the setting. But 'easy' is challenging enough. I didn't notice any framerate drop at all.

A sequel is already in the works because of the success of the game and the new film. I'm sure Vin Diesel will put as much into that as he did into this :-)

Well I just finished it, and I won't spoil it for anyone but towards the end it just gets better and better. Wasn't that short really, but I am hungry for some more riddick style action.

It is great the way they've mixed excellent FPS fighting, shooting, aswell as stealth. I hope they make a sequel.

in fact, I'm off to play it now.

I think it's amazing. A wonderful merger of Stealth and FPS. Taking out foes is just so fun.

I haven't noticed any framerate drops, and the graphics are for the most part stunning. I wouldn't say they are the best I've ever seen or anything, but it really does look great.

The voice acting is top notch, the whole thing plays out like a film, but not at the expense of the gameplay.

I can't comment on whether or not it is short as I've only been playing it about 4 hours. It certainly seems quite big (in playing area) though - there's tonnes to explore.

Just a damn pity there's no multiplayer.

The game looks ok. It looks how most Xbox games should look, but I don't see them as amazing.

The gameplay itself is brilliant. I'm stuck but I've enjoyed it so far!

To think I wasn't interested in it until I impulse bought it.
