i finished Assault On Dark Athena and have to say the game, while having flaws, was an absolute blast to play. some reviews cricized the lack of stealth and sneaking compared to Butcher Bay but i guess it's just a matter of taste. Dark Athena is a little bit more focused on gunplay and mech-action, but it's mostly slow and even tactical gunplay. also some enemies are very tough and/or hard so the sneaking around is always there if you don't want to die often. the highlight of the game, again, are the marky and cynical lines of Vin Diesel alias Riddick. i just love his voice flaws come in the way of a sound bug and some backtracking at the beginning. all in all Starbreeze again managed to deliver a game that delivers on so many aspects: melee combat, shooting, stealth action and even some puzzle solving. put on top a decent story and a quality presentation and, voila, there is my new under-the-radar game recommendation.
