''The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay'' is a first-person action and stealth video game developed by Starbreeze Studios and published by Vivendi Games. Released for the Xbox and Windows in 2004, the game is a tie-in prequel to the futuristic science fiction film ''The Chronicles of Riddick''. Actor Vin Diesel—who was involved in the game's development—reprises his role as that film's protagonist, Richard B. Riddick. The game follows Riddick, the anti-hero of the two films ''Pitch Black'' and ''The Chronicles of Riddick'', as he attempts to escape from a maximum-security prison called Butcher Bay. ''Escape from Butcher Bay''s designers focused on exploring Riddick's character in a prison break setting to differentiate the game from the film. The game's influences include the film ''Escape from Alcatraz'', and video games such as ''Half-Life'' and ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell''. ''Escape from Butcher Bay'' was praised by critics, who lauded its graphics and its implementation of stealth, action and adventure elements. However, they commonly lamented its brevity and lack of multiplayer components. The game went on to win several accolades, including the Golden Joystick Award for Unsung Hero Game of the Year and the Spike Video Game Award for Best Game Based on a Movie. An enhanced remake of the game, included in ''The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena'', was released in 2009. ==Gameplay== In ''Escape from Butcher Bay'', the player takes the role of Richard B. Riddick and attempts to break out of Butcher Bay prison.〔 The game incorporates elements from video game genres such as first-person shooter, adventure and stealth,〔〔 and is played primarily from a first-person perspective, though the camera switches to a third-person perspective during certain scenes.〔 Unlike many first-person shooters, the game contains no head-up display;〔 on-screen cues are limited to flashes when a new weapon is selected,〔 and small, white boxes that display the player character's health when damage is taken.〔 Health can be replenished in designated areas throughout the game. By finding cigarette packs hidden in levels, the player can unlock concept art and video files.〔 The player may interact with and receive quests from the prison's residents,〔 and earns information, tools and other rewards by completing quests.〔 Violent conflict often occurs between the player, inmates and prison guards.〔〔 The player attacks with Riddick's bare hands, or with improvised weapons such as shivs and clubs. Combos are created by stringing together punches.〔〔 A DNA-scanning security system initially prevents Riddick from using firearms, but a limited arsenal later becomes available.〔〔〔 A "stealth mode" is activated when the player character crouches, allowing the player to move silently and tinting the edges of the screen blue when the player is hidden.〔 While in stealth mode, the player can drag bodies out of sight and hide from enemies.〔〔 The mode grants attacks that quickly kill enemies;〔 the player may drop on enemies from above, or execute them from behind.〔〔 During the game, Riddick acquires ''eyeshine'', allowing him to see in the dark but temporarily blinding him if used in brightly lit areas.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
