| From the previews it sounded like this could be a pretty sick game. Hope the gameplay can back up the hype. | ||

| Screens look amazing so I will download. Escape from Butcher Bay was a pretty good game from what I heard so this should be better I would presume. | ||

| Just played it and its awesome...i loved escape from butcher bay and im excited for the mulitiplayer in this game, not to mention it includes escape from buther bay and the new assault on athena campaign. Personally i think the graphics look great although there are some people on here that will disagree, if you dont like it don't buy and keep your personal opinion to yourself. Let the demo speak for itself, i know ill be tasting blood on april 7th | ||

| I'll be trying this demo - and hopefully if it's good I'll buy the game. EFBB on Xbox was such a great game for it's time, very under-valued by some 'gamers'. | ||

| Well, now I've got many more reasons than the achievements not to buy this game. I'm glad the achievements turned me off before playing the demo or I'd be pretty unhappy. | ||

| Loved the Demo, it's pretty much the same game as Butcher Bay, just in a different setting. The demo was short, but was pretty fun. I don't know what to think about multiplayer, it looked ok in the video but my hopes aren't high. I cannot wait for this game. @#5 Did you even play the game? It was one of the best games to come out last generation. | ||

| Oh Demon, you make ME unhappy... If only you could see that it IS possible for a game to be amazing AND have annoying achvments at the same time. If its really hard for you, you can pretend ur playing the original Xbox, or the Wii, or PS3 (a few months ago), or even most PC games. The first Riddick game is supposed to be one of THE greatest and most overlooked games of the last generation. This is another chance to play it and its sequel. Im not even going to try the demo. Ill be buying it day 1 so that it is a whole new experience. Can't wait. | ||

| Wow ROA5T BeeF, you apparently can't read. I suggest talking to a tutor and learning, it really is important. I said there's many more reasons than the achievements for not getting this game after playing the demo. All I said abou the achievements were they are a turn off. I've played games before that were really good, but had ridiculous achievements (GTA4) and I'll never talk bad about that game for it. Please, try reading before replying with something that makes no sense based on what was said. | ||

| Loved the original, just got through the demo aswell and loved that too. I really do feel sorry for anyone that's not going to play this game just for the fact that the achievements are apparently bad. If that's the price you pay to miss out on an awsome game, then it's fairly stupid and your loss. | ||

| achievements are bad, but the game makes up for it, it's really in-depth and good graphics and it's just plain fun. i just hope it's possible for atari or starbreeze to re-do the achievements. maybe if enough people complained to them, they probably will. So please complain everyone. | ||

| Oh Demon... You used the old "Learn to read" response. I think I can hear a faint round of applause from the audience. "I'm glad the achievements turned me off before playing the demo or I'd be pretty unhappy." My question is: If you had played the demo first, would the achievements still have turned you off? Would you have said, "Wow this game is fun. Screw the achivements, I'm going to play for the fun of it this time!" Or did you play the demo and say, "Wow the achievements suck AND this demo sucks!" I'm not trying to put you down, just wondering dude. | ||

| Had the demo impressed me, or if it was fun to me, I would say "screw the crappy achievements" and buy the game anyway. As I said, I bought GTA4 even with the ridiculous achievements. I bought Halo 3 even with all those online achievements and BF: Bad Company. Achievements don't dictate my purchases, but they do influence them, slightly. | ||

| I loved the original... I can't tell you how many times I beat it... But the demo was pretty bland and unexciting in comparison for me... It needed more guidance as of what is needed to be done... More silent kills set up... But it really seems like it is going to stay true to its roots... So I would recommend at least renting it... Because although the demo was crap... The game itself is/can be much better... | ||

| Uggh... Demon, he's implying that you went in to the demo knowing that you hated the achievements and you were thus turned of from the demo... how about you learn, get a tutor, and read. (That's what you said but in correct chronological order... stupid) | ||

| It's a shame people are reacting to this game so negatively because Butcher Bay (along with Psychonauts and Ninja Gaiden) is one of my favorite [original] Xbox games and one of the best movie --> game adaptations I have ever played. The fact that this game has a whole other campaign and multiplayer on top of the original makes this a must have for me, without even having played the demo yet. | ||

| Loads of people say EFBB was so awesome, but then say "That was an awesome game, but i'm not getting this because of one reason or another" blah blah blah....it's got that awesome butchers bay on it completely redone... Which is reason enough to get this alone for the remake which was a lengthy game! The fact that the achievements are not as good as some gamers might think is irrelevant really. if the game is good who cares about achievements? Just play the games for the games! Achievements are a bonus, but a game isn't / shouldn't be determined / judged by achievements. | ||

| You what's a shame, the fact that people can't express their opinions because fanboys of the series feel the need to flame you for it. Look, the demo, IN MY OPINION, was garbage. No matter what the achievements are I would not play this game. You people need to stop attacking/flaming others just because their opinion differs from yours. Actually ddp: The tutor teaches, so tutor would come first. Why would you need a tutor if you learned it by yourself first? | ||
